Being a good single handler doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help. It’s
not that you have to do it all yourself at the dock. Plenty of people
at my dock, and always willing to grab a line. Asking for help in a

My rule is stay at the helm until the boat is stopped in position where I can
safely get off with a line. Most of the time it works:)

when my wife is aboard. If you set it up properly, and have a decent
