I have numerous "soft shackles" on my toe rail and mast collar. They aren't actually soft shackles but rather small diameter continuous loops that I luggage tag onto the metal fixtures. Each one costs about 18" of amsteel and less than 5 minutes to make. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was over at the boat yesterday and explored several. The one that looks most promising was suggested by several listers, the continuous line from forward to the cockpit. I attached a line to the toerail and brought it outside the lifelines back to the primary

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

I have used this method with success at my slip where I have lots of current and I am also on the down stream side of my slip. For a mid ship line, I just use a carabiner to attach a line to the toe rail. I just use a pole to loop the line on the back cleat and then just comfortably go

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

If you have the mid-ship cleat in the right place, the forward pressure by the motor would make the boat to cling to the finger. It is a question of positioning the cleat in the right place. With the toe rail that is standard on most of the C, this is not an issue, because you can move the

Leave the engine in forward hard over. That will counter the spring line pulling the stern in. It’s similar to heaving to at sea. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 2, 2018, at 7:47 AM, Jeremy Ralph via CnC-List > wrote: > > I use the midship SS toe rail cleat without issue. > > With just a

When I was in a similar situation due to current, I found one of these very helpful https://search.defender.com/?expression=Line+catcher It let me quickly get a spring line on without messing with boat hooks or leaving the boat. Bill On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 1:05 PM James Hesketh via CnC-List <

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

Been reading these responses and will add my experience to the discussion. I have a C 26, which is lighter than most of the boats mentioned in this thread so it doesn't carry as far, which makes my situation a bit easier. My slip faces north at a marina in Miami, FL and we usually have an ENE

All this sounds great but… I have no cleats on my slip ☹ I am newbie but will be going out alone often. I dock bow in, port side to short Finger pier which when I am all the way in boarding Gate just barley passes midship piling! Same reason as stated earlier (Privacy/View) for the bow in but

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

The only ting I could add is that when you are leaving and have no headway backwards (an no steerage, but a lot of prop walk), I find that what helps is running the prop in reverse in short bursts (quite a bit of throttle) and then switching to neutral. This way, you start moving, but the prop

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

Learned this at a talk at the Annapolis boat show. I have occasionally and seen others use this docking method – my slip has pilings and very short finger pier. A line at least 2 boat lengths and a long finger pier. Attached to the mid-ship cleat, the line is led outside the lifelines to the

Re: Stus-List Docking seamanship

Dennis, your slip is almost exactly like mine. Floating dock with a finger to starboard, a neighbour to port without anything separating the two boats, prevailing winds from starboard. Add to it a narrow fairway. I do it exactly like you do – turn after passing the finger (barely) and head

I had the exact same problem last night with a boatload of newbies on board. Double slip, Merit 25 to port, floating finger to starboard, I dock bow in. Overshot the 90-degree starboard turn into the slip while telling newbies how to place & tie fenders, nudged the Merit 25 (with fenders

Yes. One on the outboard end, one mid-pier and one at the bow. The outboard one ends up just aft of the secondary winch when Touche' is docked properly. This is the cleat the spring line is put on when we're docking. Forgot to mention, it's a floating pier so the finger pier is well below the

Dennis; you do not have a problem... it is the "PWR" in effect; the PWR is the "People Watching Rule"; which is; "The amount of difficulty encountered when docking is directly proportional to the number of people watching": there are variations of course; but the gist is that you need to dock
