Default Docking Situation Question #3

You're joking. Sailing isn't about strength. It's about planning ahead.

Well, yeah. But, I'm not talking about really big boats. I'd say
anything up to 25
feet would work that way. A strong man could probably pull a 30 foot boat
out in
say 10-15 miles per hour wind.

Cheers,
