Why would that be? Does the owner's stupidity or arrogance increase with
boat size?

In bobspits' case, yes.

Still no one!

especially since you don't even know the ROW rules.

Honestly, I know very little about SAILING, but I'm learning. Yesterday I
spent a
bit of time with the manual while Suzanne sailed.

Can't be much worse than a start, or a crowded mark rounding.

I haven't sailed anything that size, but I know it's satisfying to sail
a
16' dinghy up to a pontoon with perfect speed to stop alongside.

Yup. Learned how to do that on a friends J30. But sailing into a crowded
and
very active slip area is not usually a great idea.

I can imagine it would be quite scary with boats that are big, expensive
and
slow to stop. But you rarely get busier than an entire dinghy race fleet
all
trying to get onto the slipway at the same time. :-)

It's the big boats and their
owners who are cause for defensive tactics.

The world is filled with people who sail, but can't sail.

Would you please answer the question?

Fenders? For what? You're in a floating dock.

Bob it's a great idea if you know how to sail and can handle your boat.
It's
the crowning mark of a competent sailor to be able to sail to the dock....
even in an active area.

I can sail any boat to the dock and stop her on a dime, fenders gentley
kissing
the dock. Still, safe sailing is a better idea. I know that people get
nervous
on other boats and they may do something dangerous.
No accidents or injuries after nearly 9 years of sailing!

He is under the illusion that we are interested in his sailing exploits.

Yea...the illusion that I steer this group as I wish and that most posts are
for/about/to me!!! Including most of yours!

Bwahahahahaha!
