Item Note

3. Docking and undocking -- Leaving/Entering Dock: skipper duties, crew duties, proper commands. -- Avoid stalling in confined areas e.g., tacking out of a finger, (if wind is blocking directly up the finger from the basin channel, consider paddling to the channel rather than tacking to it and risking a dangerous stall). -- Demonstrate the use of a dock line and “slip line” to leave the slip single-handed. -- Demonstrate how to reduce speed returning to slip from basin. Note: when boom is fully extended to luff main, do not let main sheet drape below boom where it could snag on an outboard motor. -- Demonstrate speed reducing techniques, sailing into downwind slips (jib only), and use of a brake line.
