I haven’t, but I would not mind the ease in maneuvering. That said, I am okay getting the boat to go where I need it to go. The real challenge is getting it to stay there long enough to get a line to...

The picture above is a starboard tie and that leaves the boat facing north, and that leaves the cockpit and bridge deck facing south. Shade is important here in the summer, and we found the port tie...

No current, but the wind comes around to east (and off the dock) often with a vengeance.
I understand the stern line physics and strategy, but the Mariner 37 has only a hawse pipe cleat and that...

We have a very similar set up, though are still working toward having all lines are set at just the right length for our slip. The challenge I face is times when the wind is blowing off the dock and...

I think so too. Optimizing heat exchange by keeping surfaces clean and fans moving air makes a difference. At the moment, I am weighing the benefits of cleaning and replacing the fan with what seems...

Very nice, Steely Don. Your maneuvering improvement is impressive.
The rudder on our Mariner 37 is rather large (compared to a Frisbee anyway), but we still wander quite a bit and keep the...

Understanding the problem is more likely my shortcoming, Barrie! Most I’ve seen and helped have dock lines on, well, the dock. Hadn’t occurred to me to have those handy “correct length” lines on the...

That makes sense, and I've seen one of my more experienced sailboat neighbors tie us off that way once. A friend also suggested the short line hanging out of the hawse pipe for docking. Excellent...

That’s exactly what I’m after, PS, but it’s almost impossible with hawse pipe type cleats, at least where they are on the Mariner 37 / Helmsman 38.
And yes, virtually all initial ties get re-done...

We do too, Barrie, but when arriving at a dock with unfamiliar dock hands or friends with plenty more on their minds than where our lines go, a cleat is obvious where a hawse pipe cleat is not.
