Docking under sail

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

    Nice !!! 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 🙂

    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.)

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
