the wind's blowing this bigger boat against the dock and
you're going to hoist sail and THEN pull the boat INTO
the
wind by hand???


YES! My boat is six tons and I've done it many times!
Raise main & genny.
Hand over hand the vessel to the point where the anchor is
holding but ready
to be weighed.... now take in sheets..... then weigh
anchor as you sail by
the hook point.

Scotty... it works everytime. I sailed for a season
without aux. I know what
a sailboat can do without an engine. It's truly amazing.
The key is to
preplan your manuevers. Think out the situation and most
of all...
understand your boat.


Shhhhh..be quiet Moron, you'll spoil all the fun!
