Docking Situation Question #2
Tighten the jib at the dock. Cast off the bow line hall in on the stern
line. As the jib back winds, you start falling away from the dock. Release the stern line, move the jib to the other side. You're gone. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com wrote in message oups.com... How do you sail off a dock when the wind is on the bow? [Assume an end-tie situation] 1 pt. |

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... Cheers, Ellen |

"Scotty" wrote | 3 boat lengths? By the time you weigh anchor you'll be back | crashing on the dock. Not if your fast and not if you don't get in irons. The secret is to break loose the anchor from the bottom only when the bow's at an angle to the wind. That way your mainsail should sail you away from the dock. It should be sheeted in about on the quarter. If you use the jib too you have to make sure its full and not backed before you break loose the anchor. Cheers, Ellen |

You don't need, nor should you use, an anchor to sail away from a dock.
