  • When you run out of gas and have to dock a 52 foot racing yacht under sail power only. Slightly nerve racking.

    Rumor has it, the dinghy (being towed behind the boat-out of frame) is where they stow the Skipper's huge brass knuts.

    We had a guy come into a finger-berth under sail, in Hamble Point last weekend. That was impressive. I've sailed onto a mooring ball, and even onto a hammerhead, but I wouldn't have the guts to sail into a berth like that.
    This is a very cool looking boat though 🙂

    That guy with the after line could have stopped the yacht all by himself, if he had walked astern instead of forward and stopped the line over a bollard (or more correctly, if s.o. on board had done that).

    While this was a great job, I used to sail my 28 foot Ranger into a finger dock ALL THE TIME, until I got a new engine. Sometimes others from the yacht club would come out to catch lines but at other times it was only me and anyone else on board. (Light winds help.)

    Much harder than it looks..
    People cruise in on headsails a lot in Everett WA, the wind is from the direction the sailing waters are at so its beam reach followed by a run to another beam reach to another run...most of the docks on the south marina can be sailed into woth the right conditions and crew in that exact order.....
    I just use my outboard or use the oars in the oarlocks mounted to my Lapworth gladiator 24...as I am nowhere near ready to try something like that singlehanded

      They won't be making any wake, besides they aren't going fast.
      It's a tp52, a fish makes more turbulence and a bigger wake.

    And dead stick airplane landings in a public airport are quite a skill too. YIKES!
    Both skills should be practiced in a "remote location", not a public facility, where every possible advantage should be applied to avoid a disaster.
    You can not stop a boat suddenly to avoid a kayaker, a child in the water, floating crab pot, or to avoid the unexpected.
    Good skills, bad lack of courtesy.... imo.

    Not to steal your thunder but there's nothing difficult about docking a boat under sail in a long dock head to wind, and with that size crew. I have a 34' and we leave and comeback under sail 100% of the time in the extreme winds of San Francisco. The only time we use the engine is when the wind dies.

      @dimitriskrin 3 роки тому +4

      @micheldawes1 3 роки тому +1

      You can actually wash off quite a lot of speed with exaggerated helm recycling (full Port helm, to full Stbd helm, as many times as you need. I was on a YW Diamond Sailing into a dead stop slip, in a cap full of breeze when the headsail halyard jammed! Wind was blowing parallel to the arm of the dock and the slip was a 90 degree turn to Stbd. Helmsman waited until the last possible moment and brutally shoved the tiller hard over to Port (boat was still doing what seemed like 7-8 knots boat speed, but was realistically about 4-5(?)) Luckily the halyard freed with a desperate yank and the Bowman was able to fend the bow off the (Fixed) wharf. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief after that one!

      @@77sailordude if you know what you’re doing, you can use a Fwd spring from midships and surge (And then skilfully snub!) the line on a cleat or winch-drum to control the decelaration! Trick is finding someone good enough to throw the line on the dock cleat whilst the boat is moving! - AND To have the boat adequately fendered!) I’ve done this countless times operating small timber, single screw, displacement ferries single handedly.)The traditional bronze cross bollards had beautifully friction polished wear patterns on them from all the constant surging and snubbing!

      It came in hot, if u have enuf experience on crappy dinghies w absolutely no pointing capability, w/o the weight of 10 crew, u should be able to kiss the wood w that EQUIPMENT and without the help of lines. But ud have to learn in 3-5 on The Charles in CAMBRIDGE. Then when the skipper has failed on 3 tries to touch the wood on a disabled 3.5 ton 27' Columbia Bluewater, u kiss the wood dead-on on yr first try. That's what u learn from dinghies. Fair winds.
