We did have some fun sailing into our slip in Ego Alley (downtown Annapolis). 
My brother was visiting and wanted to go for a sail despite the engine being 
taken apart for repairs. While we were out the wind shifted so that returning 
would be a dead run down the fairway. If we missed the slip you have a dead end 
and no chance to beat back out  in anything bigger than a Laser. So we are 
headed in and getting ready to roll the last bit of jib in when a powerboat 
lays on the gas, goes around us, and starts going into OUR slip! I am not 
normally a screamer but I was using some language worthy of a bosun on a square 
rigger to tell the idiot what we were going to do him if he didn’t move.

Just to make sure, I am far from advocating using sails to enter marinas. I 
think that in most cases this would be just irresponsible. And I use the engine 
every time coming in (save that one time when my outboard quit when turning 
into the fairway) or going out and when anchoring etc. And I bet that most of 
us would prefer to use the engine in a MOB situation than do it under sails 
alone.

The harbours got more crowded, the slips narrower, the skills required did not 
get better and the engines did. Not to mention that we very often sail 
shorthanded.

This does not take away from the fact that not that long ago even bigger 
vessels operated without the auxiliary power and somehow managed to do that.

Guess I am missing something here…maybe I don’t understand what is meant by 
“marina”.  I know it is possible to dock a 35 footer like Alianna at a “marina” 
using sails only and I have done it a time or two but under unfavorable wind 
conditions due to direction or strength in such close quarters I prefer to use 
auxiliary power and have my sails down and packed away before going to the dock 
or maybe I am missing what auxiliary power means to anyone in craft not 
outfitted with sails…or maybe I have just become more of a whimp and less of a 
purest as I grew older…hell I even prefer auxiliary power when tieing up to a 
mooring in a crowded mooring field and sailing off a mooring in a crowded field 
in some wind conditions can also be tricky and unnecessarily risky

In my olden days as a member of the Yacht Club's Executive Committee, business 
was brought forth to propose that sailboats must use engines in the marina (or 
something to that effect).  I pointed out that engines are auxiliary power on 
sailboats and if we are to endorse this business I will push that ALL vessels 
operating in the marina are required to use auxiliary power.

That was the end of discussion.

Good times.

In the olden days, when I was getting my skippers certificate, we had to do all 
the manoeuvres, including getting in and out of the slip, without the use of 
the engine (and then again using it). But that art is gone. Now, if I tried to 
dock under sail there would be a crowd with pitchforks awaiting me on the dock 
(possibly with some boiling tar and a few (Canada) gees on the side).

Under the watchful and at times frightened eyes of my neighbors, I have been 
routinely sailing into the slip without turning on the good 2QM.

Phase II: Learn how to get out of the slip under sail...
