Reply to: Small outboard/trolling motor for docking

[quote=spfx]The 20 second video says it all. Keep the 460!! Can you head straight for the ramp and round up the last 15-20 feet, jumping off the lee hull with your righting line in waist high water? Pull the boat towards the dock then hop up and cleat the line bows into the wind. Lee rudder should be up well in advance and jib sheet out at some point. This technique can be practiced in open water to get an idea of how your boat will perform under existing conditions. I do this all the time with or without crew (mostly solo) and it works every time at any wind speed. Once in the water, don't waste time or the boat will drift onto the ramp. See this video at the 5 min mark to get an idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ci95oCKEs&t=8s Don't complicate things with a motor while under sail power. You need to focus on as little as possible at the ramp. Hope this helps[/quote]
