On a fractional rig with decent room to maneuver, I would come to dock ( if necessary under sail) with jib down and main up. Main can be used to ‘brake’ by backing when approaching. Jib also blocks view. This is only if you must ‘sail’ in, better practice is to motor in with all sails down to ensure more control. Try it on empty dock for practice. Have fUn,go sailing! GO

Now I’m hearing people that you don’t drop the jib. What’s the consensus? Thanks,
