Hello, the harbor has offered me an end slip for my father's 42' sailboat. I don't have too much of a problem docking with 1-2 others, but this would make it very easy for my father if I'm not sailing with him. Actually, he has never even tried going out alone without me. And end slip would help me out when it blows near 30+ knots as well.
Someone once told me his boat rolled up over the floating dock on two separate occasions and suffered $20k of damage. Does anyone recommend against end slips? Are there other issues? I imagine the constant battering against the fenders would rub the wax off the hulls... I'm ok doing an extra wax job though. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
