Default Docking Situation Question #5

No one answered this so I will.

One common problem is people set the hook and
don't pay out line fast enough. If the boat stops
moving, the rudder stops working. That is the
short answer.

Carrying on from here, you would of course hug
the windward side of your intended berth and try to
get a line to the quay on the windward side.

If you are lucky you can use prop walk to keep you
to windward--only if the wind is coming over your
port side.

Another possibility is to anchor and warp yourself
in.

I'm not looking for a complicated answer, but I'll
give 2 points for a full description which includes
the most important point or 1 point for a short
answer defining this one item I'm looking for that
many capable skippers forget.
