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 |

Tell me how professional you feel when the club launch fouls on your anchor line while you're rowing back in the dink. Sailing a dinghy or even a small keel boat off of a lee dock is one of the basic maneuvers that you have to learn. If you have any concerns, you are permitted to practice it a few times when the dock is empty. Or even find an unused dock to practice on in different conditions. Casting off is a useful skill, worth learning in its own right. But spending half an hour doing when someone else can just hop in the boat and sail off, doesn't look too professional. |
Docking Situation Question #2
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. silverback wrote: clearence requirements required to be clarified.

Docking Situation Question #2
1/2 point for you Joe.
It is better to use an forward spring line to pivot the boat off the dock. A stern line would let the boat slip aft a bit and could be trouble if there is a boat close behind you. For those who don't know, an forward spring is a line from the aft of the boat forward to a point on the dock admiships for foarther forward on the dock. It prevents the boat from moving backwards. I like to double up the line so it starts at an aft cleat, goes forward on the dock, one turn, and back to the aft cleat or perhaps a winch. I can ease if from the boat as the boat pivots away from the dock. Why does the boat pivot? Because you back the jib to push the bow away from the dock. This works with any size sailboat--even very large schooners. "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... wrote: How do you sail off a dock when the wind is on the bow? [Assume an end-tie situation] 1 pt.

Grab mainsheet near the end of boom and pull in so boat pivots away from dock, keep stern in close. Ask novice passengers already onboard if they want you to come along. Casually step over stern to take helm. Slip and land on tiller, breaking it in half. Alternate ending: realize you forgot to ship the rudder. This happened/ Actually, both have happened to me. I've only broken one tiller leaving the dock. But I have left a few times without a rudder, fortunately in dinks that can easily do without. |
