wrote: My sailboat experience stops at around 36'. I ran a 50 footer weighing about 50,000 lbs for a few years. It had a folding prop and all of the usual issues in reverse, but once you got 1 or 2 knots of way on, the keel and rudder would bite and it handled just fine. I would get it going slowly in reverse where I still had plenty of room to maneuver and then just drive it right into the slip backwards, stopping with a quick blast of forward gear. It was a piece of cake and always got a certain amount of attention. |
