Never really thought about it. Shouldn't be any more difficult than
backing in, should it?

Yeah.. okay... but I don't see you whining about it being difficult
to
"back" your vessel out of your slip if needed do I!!??

If I'm by myself and the wind is against me... I'll rope my boat out
and set
the bow to the wind... then just jump in and whip the line off the
bollard
or cleat as I put the engine into gear.

When I didn't have an engine... I rowed the damn thing out towing it
with my
punt! I clenched the bowline in my teeth!!!..... and it's a 6 ton
full
keel 30 footer!!!

Of course anyone with a Hunter is retarded anyway! Crap.. you could
tow that
thing with a pedal boat! Load crew after you back from the slip???
What's
with that!!??

I prefer to dock stern in so if the wind is favorable I can sail
out.

You back in a power boat you Yankee Doodle Dandy..... you sail
in a
sailboat!

Anyone that has a problem backing out of a slip needs to
seriously
reassess
their skill-set.... especially if it involves a fin keeler.

To prove my point you only need to read Gaynzy's reply... he
prefers
backing
in !!!

Wrong! you back-woods backwards Canadjun.

You back out a car ....you back in a boat.

Parking the boat stern first will make pulling out with more
control in
any condition much easier plus it will sure make boarding
easier.
