V1 WAS LEAVING CITY MARINA. V1 DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE STRONG CURRENT. V1 PORT STERN STRUCK THE FUEL DOCK OFFICE CAUSING AN 8 FOOT LONG BY 8 INCHE TALL GASH TO THE FIBERGLASS.

OP1 said that while he was departing City Marina the wind and strong current pushed the port stern into the marina office. OP1 showed me the damage on the port side approximately six feet above the water line, there was an eight foot long by eight-inch-high gash in the fiberglass. Fiberglass shards were located on the aft end deck as well.  OP1 provided a written statement and provided all documents needed. 

We went back to City Marina and went to the fuel dock by water to see the damage to the marina office. The south end of the marina’s office has a metal platform that showed damage consistent with the damage. The metal structure had been pushed sideways and several of the boards on top of the structure had been pushed out of place.
