That's the right answer for a different question.
Wrong for this question.

Attach the line from a small anchor to a cleat on the front of your
boat.
Row the anchor out with your dinghy. Drop the anchor three or four boat
lengths in front of your bow. Untie the dock lines and pull on the anchor
line till your over the anchor. Weigh the anchor and off you go...

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

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.

You sound angry and pathetic.

Instead of calling people names, why don't you actually contribute something
useful... no, never mind.

Best check back to your "book"..... at least Jeff is an experienced sailor
and that's why I bother to bring out both guns. You Ganzy are a pathetic
excuse of a sailing wannabe. You are an embarrassment ot anything concerning
boats

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.
