Safety Alert From Boat US
The April edition of the Boat US publication "Seaworthy" has a safety
alert on page 5 that may be applicable to some of us. They recommend that boats with low transoms always be docked stern first, i.e., with the bow facing outwards. Apparently there have been a number of incidents where boats sank in their slips as a result of waves breaking over the transom in wind storms. |

Virtually every "slipped" boat at the marina I use the most is docked stern first. And that's true pretty much everywhere. Nice try at a troll, though, f.n. |

I see very few boats docked stern first around here. The sunk boat was a bow first boat in SF Bay. |
