A co-worker and his father built a 40 footer in the 70's. Heavy boat.
When it came into the slip at the yacht club he had to toss a line around
a bollard and hold on tight to bring it to a stop. Lots of momentum. Down
below because of the mortar construction it felt like you were in a
basement recreation room.
