How does one answer the question "How to dock single handed"? Wow. Lots of
good advice so far. But the combinations of wind, current, bow in, stern in,

Some basics do prevail. First, assess the current and wind. Look at the water

discovered a center cockpit Catalina/Morgan 45 in my 36 foot slip. Full

All this talk about docking brings back the beginning of the last season. I
just moved to a bigger boat (from a 24 (tiller and outboard) to a 27 (wheel

usually sail with my wife, but one can easily consider it shorthanded or

Both my 25 and my 38 get backed into their respective slips. I'm usually
alone. The slip for the 38 sits down the prevailing wind and across the

For docking at my regular slip, I have a dock line attached to a large cleat
