Another question undocking question - concerning swim platforms
In article m4yLb.57930$PK3.42234@okepread01,
"George C." wrote: Here's the scenario: I'm docked alongside a pier with boats close to my bow and stern, and the wind is pushing me into the pier. Normally, I would turn the bow into the pier and back out, but sometimes backing isn't an option. I would like to push the bow out, but the 2' swim platform on my stern will get crushed. What to do? Haven't tried this, but perhaps: "spring" a dock line from as far back on the dock as possible to the outboard transom cleat. Power forward, possibly turning the rudder toward the dock to kick the stern out as well. That should torque the bow around. Once you've turned enough, toss the dock line back to the dockhand. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
