How much turning space should a boat have to be able to safely exit and enter a slip, if the slip is at right angles to the channel?

Presently our club is wrestling with the issue of the length of boat that should be in the slip given the amount of room available to back out, then straighten out and go down the channel between the docks.

The Parks Canada's guideline for their docking design is that there must be 175% of the boat length to allow a skipper to exit and enter a slip.

We all know that C&Cs need less than most boats. Any idea what the specs are for C&C's?

I'd appreciate hearing if there are any guidelines that your club uses for all keelboats.

Cheers

Don
