agree it would be better if all demos weren't in dead calm

Is it really OK to use the shroud chainplate for the spring line? I realize you are barely moving, but again with a lot of current or wind... And this is a force on the chainplate not designed for. I have no midship cleats so this is a great solution but is it really OK?

I suggest using a shroud during docking and not as a permanent secure point.

All demonstration videos are in made on calm days... It would be useful to make a video of a Mediterranean mooring with 25 knots of wind coming 45 degrees. And of course there are no finger pontoons in a typical Aegean marina. You just slip between to moored boats if you're lucky. And in most cases, there's a bigger boat moored on your upwind and your down wind is empty. So if you're not careful and experienced enough things can really go bad. We see these situations very often...

Capt. Jack Klang responds - Yes, you can maneuver a sailboat into a slip using only the engine. Under power, you'll need to reverse the engine to stop the boat. Once stopped, your vessel is at the mercy of the wind and/or current. As the boat slows, steerage diminishes rapidly. This is where you can maintain control of the boat using dock and spring lines. If not using dock lines, a strong wind or current can result in you or your crew hanging on pilings while the boat floats across the slip.

This is silly, if you're alone and under the circumstances shown, you don't need dock lines, you can maneuver the boat with the engine.
