Nice! You cannot stop a sailboat going downwind. On many boats its nearly impossible to drop the sails. The right thing to do would be to come across the docks, turn INTO the wind, then gently back into the dock slot.
Us power boaters get a bad rap. I have seen so many of these "sailboaters" who do this stupid stuff at the launch. Had a guy in his little sailboat do something just like this to me at a lake. Moron came in at a decent clip with his sail up! Fool could not even see me at the dock because of the sail. I was yelling at the top of my lungs at him to turn to starboard, he nailed my boat. I say to him, "what are you doing? Did you not see us?" Then he says, "Is that a new boat" What does that matter!
LMAO ! We've all hit the dock but, at "Mach 2" ???? LOL, watch the guy on the dock go down. I love how at the last second the guy abondons the boat and pull's on the sail line in a last ditch effort to stop (He actually increased the hull speed by grabbing more wind) adding to the impact of the sudden stop !
@justanotherengine When going downwind you actually de-power the sails by sheeting in, however i think it was just coincidence that he grabbed the jib sheet as he jumped out.
Oh, and that bloke on the jetty got totally owned by the sail. Apparently it's almost impossible to stand up at the same time as you're holding onto light fabric that blows in the wind!
Before you get to the dock, make a U-Turn into the wind and ease the sheets.
Keep the boat in irons and sail it backwards into the slip.
Practice the maneuver out in open water several times first.
Can also lower the mainsail and come in under jib only, turn into the wind, ease sheets and drop the jib (if you're comfortable doing so much all at once)
But that's why you lower the main first - the jib is easier to luff and to lower, and is plenty of sail going downwind in this much wind.
You can even come in frontwards if you lower the main out in open water and then come in under only the jib. When you get near the dock let the jib sheets run all the way out (let the jib fly like a flag ahead of the forestay). Problem is you won't lose speed, so you better not wait until you're too close (the U-Turn method is better, and people won't immediately see you're a lubber)
We get this all the time at my club, the mooring's similar and nearly always downwind. Noobies aren't allowed out on their own without an RYA L2. Doesn't help when there's a strong wind there's always 2-3 boats of noobies coming home on full sail scratching there heads and wondering what those shouts of "come in on the jib" from shore mean.
When I first started sailing, I used to jump out, while still hanging on the sunfish, so that my body would act like an anchor to stop the boat. I never crashed, but it was embarrassing. :)
Hey gingerwooton, I think it really was the commodore of your RYS. He was out sailing so long he was afraid of getting scurvy, so jump in the water to get an orange.
What a bunch of gaylords! What is the bloke doing rolling around on the pier - whilst watching his three mungo friends? And that munter who decides to throw himself into the water, what is he trying to achieve? Typical bloody Americans really, not a clue how to act in reasoned and sophisticated manner.
Hey pal thems fightin' words where we come from. Im sure you guys never have ANY maritime troubles to speak of. (Like almost losing an entire war to submarine warfare.) Everyone screws the pooch occasionally. Sometimes its just the learning curve.
Mate, subsequently the Americas cup trophy remained in the hands of the New York Yacht Club of the United States from 1852 or 1857 (when the syndicate that won the Cup donated the trophy to the club) until 1983 when the Cup was won by the challenger, Australia II.
The cup, originally offered as the Royal Yacht Squadron cup, is now named after the first yacht to win the trophy, the schooner America. So ya pompous ass I have lived in the EU and have seen much larger dumb asses. Excluding French
ja maar aanleggen voor de wind is wel een erg grote fout, naast je zeilstanden is dat zowat het belangrijkste, je kan niet zeilen zonder je boot, zonder schade, aan te leggen.
ag ag ag is so difficult to train is not the first breeding loose sail all the way tight in the middle of the boat and then quietly to the side. a baby can still !!!!!!!
Aaaand when you come in to dock on a sailboat, you drop the mainsail, use the jib to move. Easy to come to a controlled stop that way, just let go of the jib and let that sucker flap around, and it should all solve itself.
420's are fun, and this reminds me of at my yacht club when little 10 year olds dont take their sails when going downwind to the boat ramps, boom!!! everyday
dont think its a wayfarer, looks too small, and bow doesn't look right, gp14 i think? either way ive seen better attempts at coming alongside a jetty!
i thought it could be a wonderer, went and looked at a few pics, but the bow profile doesnt look quite right (wonderer is virtually the same profile as a wayfarer but a bit smaller) yup im from the isle of wight, had my fair share of dinghy's! moved onto the big boats now where you dont get quite as wet!

@rcguy4373 that is a option but it is really hard if you have to paddle up wind
