Docking

Follow these guidelines when docking:

• Come to a stop a short distance from the dock,

then proceed slowly.

• Have your fenders, mooring lines and the crew

ready.

• Observe how the wind and current are moving

your boat. Approach the dock with the boat
pointed into the wind, if possible. If the wind or
current is pushing you away from the dock, use
a sharper angle of approach. If you must
approach the dock downwind or down current,
use a slow speed and shallow angle. Be ready
to reverse in order to stop and maintain
position.

• If there is no wind or current, approach the dock

at a 10° to 20° angle.

• If possible, throw a line to a person on the dock

and have that person secure a bow line. If no
one is on the dock, maneuver as close as you
can, then secure any line to a piling or dock
cleat.

• With the bow secure, swing the stern in using

engine thrust, or pull it in with a boat hook.
