Sailing into my slip is not something I am prepared to try. I'm not that good but even if I were my marina is very tight. No need to take that kind of risk. Hell, It took me a few attempts at backing in under power to figure out that my 2-blade folding Martec prop needs half an hour head start just to stop my 1kt forward progress! Still trying to figure out how to account for and use my prop-walk. If I have a good hand with me I will sail on and off my mooring.

Nobody is faulting the use of an engine. It is just funny seeing people get upset about sailboats sailing instead of using their "auxiliary" propulsion. Arguably more people and property are damaged by improper operation of engine propelled watercraft.

I know it is possible to dock a 35 footer like Alianna at a "marina" using sails only and I have done it a time or two but under unfavorable wind conditions due to direction or strength in such close quarters I prefer to use auxiliary power and have my sails down and packed away before going to the dock or maybe I am missing what auxiliary power means to anyone in craft not outfitted with sails.or maybe I have just become more of a whimp and less of a purest as I grew older.hell I even prefer auxiliary power when tieing up to a mooring in a crowded mooring field and sailing off a mooring in a crowded field in some wind conditions can also be tricky and unnecessarily risky Dwight Veinot C&C 35MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Russ & Melody via CnC-List Sent: August 28, 2014 1:47 AM To: Marek Dziedzic; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Engine Sound Insulation - Go Without an engine? In my olden days as a member of the Yacht Club's Executive Committee, business was brought forth to propose that sailboats must use engines in the marina (or something to that effect). I pointed out that engines are auxiliary power on sailboats and if we are to endorse this business I will push that ALL vessels operating in the marina are required to use auxiliary power. That was the end of discussion. Good times.

But that art is gone. Now, if I tried to dock under sail there would be a crowd with pitchforks awaiting me on the dock (possibly with some boiling tar and a few (Canada) gees on the side).
