In the morning it might look a bit different.

Are you really saying that if you had perhaps a sistership behind you
by 6 or 8 feet, and you had the wind on the bow, and one or two hands
to help, you couldn't sail right off the dock?


...and quit quoting your reference manual... you sound like Ganzy.

I can't help it. At least 5 or 6 of my undergraduate years were spent
studying physics.

Now that's just being wimpy. Unless you had a barge tight on the stern,
you should be able to spin your boat off just by backing the jib. With a
bit of coordination you could even use a spring line to pull the stern
forward along the dock so you'd need little if any clearance on the stern.

Tight and I would elect the method for lee dock conditions.
