Just docked our new (used 36.7) for the first time. I usually back in however we discovered that when putting the sail drive into reverse it pulled to the right. It also did not help that the wind was off the starboard bow and we started to spin and I looked like a total rookie at the wheel. Eventually I will figure the trick to backing this boat in however I thought that with sail drive there is usually far less prop walk than on shaft drive sailboats. I don't mind prop walk at all and we usually use it to our advantage to swing the stern in however I will have to do some practice docking. More opportunities to drive my wife crazy...
