I sail my Vertue solo all the time. Mostly coastal, on the UK east
coast, with a visit or two to Holland during the season.
Generally I deal with marinas and locks by preparing in plenty of
time, fenders both sides, two bow lines, two stern lines, and, most
importantly, two lines from the midships cleats.I f you don't have
midships cleats and fair leads then fit a pair.
Anything specific you need to know?
