Docking Situation Question #3
Poor Mooron. He has so much anger. So far, he can't do anything but call
people bad names. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "silverback" wrote in message news:mi_Og.18079$E67.17116@clgrps13... "Ellen MacArthur" wrote in message reenews.net... "Scotty" wrote | the wind's blowing this bigger boat against the dock and | you're going to hoist sail and THEN pull the boat INTO the | wind by hand??? 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. Six tons of full keel cruising sailboat.... in 30 knots on a lee dock.... can be pulled to hook point.... even by a wimpy sissy like Ganz. I bet even Ole Thom could easily manage a 40 footer. The only thing to overcome is inertia.... CM |
