Unlike the gentleman who wants to single handle a bober pick-up, I have a
question about how to enter a slip with two crewmen aboard. Theoretically this can be done under sail, but the first approach should be with an engine, an 9.9 Yamaha outboard in my case. Problem is that our slip is on a bend in the river, so that with a strong current flowing, we have to come in bow first to the narrow slip with the current on the beam. I have tried to come in a bit upstream of the flow and try to time it so that we are in line just as we enter. It's a bit tricky, and there is a tendency for the stern to swing downstream before we have a chance to get a line to it. Any suggestions? Sherwin D. |
