I agree with the port tie, and would like to add. Prevailing wind is
important. I had a slip that the wind blew me off, had major issues getting
tied up in any thing over 10 kts of breeze. If you are lucky enough to have a
slip with fingers on both sides then it doesn't matter. I single hand alot so
this what I look for in a slip.

I have had a boat on the same mooring for approx. 20 years and have enjoyed the
ease (stress free) of coming and going from it, especially since I do mostly
single handed sailing. However, I am considering getting a 'slip' at our
marina for next season. There are several currently available, and with a 'bow
in' docking (my preference) I have the choice to do it from both port or
starboard docking.My boat has an 'offset prop shaft' which, I believe,
accentuates the prop walk to port when starting in reverse.So my question is
"Is there a preference for either a port or starboard docking (bow in) with my
prop walk situation?" Reasons why? Or does it make any difference?Rob
