Book Description
Docking and undocking a small craft in close quarters takes years of practice. There are a number of factors to consider when maneuvering a boat into a small docking area such as the effects of current, wind and propeller action. You may never reach boat docking and undocking perfection (very few do) but this book will steer you into the right direction. For example Chapter Two is about Docking Examples and in Chapter Six the author writes about the Human Factors and the part they play when boating. Boat Docking covers a number of situations boaters encounter when docking or undocking - and everyone can learn from this book.

Book Description
For centuries, sailors have noted that it's not the oceans that cause harm, but the hard bits around the edges. A parallel can be drawn to recreational sailors who are comfortable sailing in local or coastal waters but have not totally mastered the skills of returning the boat to the slip. Watching neighbors expertly guide their boats into slips and hearing them discuss terms like prop walk and spring lines, they realize there may be a gap in their knowledge. Now for the good news - this is the book you've been looking for. It is the most complete book written on everything you should know about docking your monohull or catamaran. Covering boat characteristics, environmental effects, and different scenarios, you will find a technique to safely dock your boat under any condition. Designed to be read in conjunction with American Sailing's 118 Docking Endorsement course, it is also a stand-alone book for any sailor wanting to improve boat handling skills. You will find everything you need to know in this 137-page book. - Learn why your boat handles like it does - Learn how to assess the variable effects - Learn to use external clues to assist your maneuvering - Learn to use spring lines and prop walk to your advantage - Impress your boat neighbors with your new skills - Learn to love docking
