Can't get the back end of the boat in!

12/05/2008 15:57

Hardys have a couple of tricky(for me) characteristics - one typical of mobos and one all of its own. The typical one is that it blows off at the stern not the bow - lots of top hamper towards the back. Not so typical is that the bathing platform is stainless tube not nicely rubber bumpered GRP so reversing in until you hit the dock is not an option. Exit from the boat is like a sailing boat - gates half way along the deck. Coming in alongside the pontoon bow first I tend to lose the back end in an off pontoon breeze. Other half is not a great one for lasooing cleats. What is the forum's recommendation for not looking a pillock as I come in. I have a bow thruster so front end no problem
