[quote=Dogboy][quote=P.M.]Do it all the time and it's really simple. [/quote] If the wind is blowing directly at the dock, then yes this technique will work. But if the wind is coming from any direction other than directly at the dock....good luck! And of course, if you're sitting at the bow with rudders and boards up and you happen to misjudge the dock slightly then get your gelcoat repair kit or check book ready. Sitting on the bow and sailing backwards works great if you're trying to get off an offshore beach. If you're actually trying to hit a target like a dock and dodge other boats, well not so much. Of course the bigger question is, why not just sail in forward and then spin the boat once you get to the dock? sm<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Dogboy on May 27, 2014 - 11:44 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
