DOCKING/DEPARTURE
Practice docking before attempting it for the first time. Use a float, like a
plastic milk jug with a line and small weight, as your docking target.
Docking Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when docking:
☐ WARNING ☐
Never use your hand, arm, or other part of your body to
fend the boat off the dock. The boat could push against
the dock, causing an injury.
• Come to a stop a short distance from the dock.
• Have fenders and mooring lines ready.
• If there is no wind or current, approach the dock at a 10 to 20 degree angle.
• 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 the boat is being pushed toward the dock, approach parallel to the
dock and allow the wind and current to push you to the dock. If you must
approach the dock downwind or down current, use a slow speed and
shallow angle. Be ready to reverse to stop and maintain position. In this
case secure the stern line first.
• If possible, throw a line to a person on the dock and have that person
secure a bow line.
• With the bow secure, swing the stern in with the engine or pull it in with a
boat hook.
• Tie mooring lines to the bow and stern of the boat. To protect your boat,
keep fenders between the boat and the dock.
