Because I know what I'm talking about...
"Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... What makes you think even a rank novice would appreciate advice from a Toxic Granny? CN "katysails" wrote in message ... Install a midship cleat...that way if you have to jump off on the dock you have the boat on its' fulcrum and you won't lose it...also, if it's a permanent dock you can run a grab line from piling to piling and if you have a piling in the middle of the slipway you can rig a v-shaped net that will not only keep you from nosing the dock, but will also help keep the boat in position... "Rick" wrote in message news  Would those of you who single handedly sail your boat give a new sailor some tips on bringing the boat into the slip without attracting a crowd of gawkers? The dock angels I don't mind, but the sauced vocal contributions only add to the already high tension level. I don't mind being the local entertainment occasionally, but it would be nice to know how to do this better. I realize practice makes perfect, but a few tips can speed up the learning curve significantly. Thanks! |
