Group,

A question: Doesn't any one use a BOATHOOK in a slip?

It is a very handy thing in a tight situations, it can hold the stern
against prop walk.

With a crew, it is a simple matter to enter and leave a slip using
Neutral as the gear of choice. Simply walk the boat away from the slip,
push the bow into the desired direction and power away,

If 'coldcorona" had any ability to sail..... he'd strike canvas and sail
outta that slip.... 40 ft is plenty of room to turn around... and tack up
wind in a 30ft boat!! Damned newbies!

No, because I've seen people drop them in the water. It shouldn't be used
for that anyway. It's not designed for that kind of weight.

Scotti Potti has a lot of experience in this area.

Bob uses them to catch mooring buoys in gales... while sailing downwind to a
lee shore.
