Next message: Ken Phelps: "Re: T&T: A boat handling question"
No disagreement with previous guidance, especially a spring. Since you have
to go way down past other boats, I'd consider another option - if there is
room to turn your boat in the width of the canal. Go in bow first slowly
using neutral often. A boat length before the "slip," using your twin
screws, slowly turn the boat in-place and then slowly back your stern in and
get a spring ashore. I used to do this with my uncles Matthews 38.
With a single screw, you can "walk" it sideways if your rudder is relatively
large by having it hard-over and toggling back and forth between forward and
reverse, but it takes a long time and a spring is faster, especially if
there is any wind.
