[quote=coastrat]this could be tricky solo! a roller furl jib would be nice. approach the dock from the leeward side heading up tight until almost there then head into the wind as you approach the dock letting the wind slow your approach. nice and easy, no "carrier landing". drop sails. monohulls tie up from the bow and stern, you will be using the cross braces. 2 fenders will probably do. the tricky part will be when the water is lowered or is rising, you and crew must keep the boat steady. beach cats are ill-equiped for docking, the first time should be THRILLING! a paddle or two might come in handy also. hopefully this advise won't kill you! take some phots and let us know how it ended up going. you may end up dropping sails before you get into the lock and paddleing in. good luck![/quote]
