[Alberg30] Genoa Travler

[Gordon LACO]

I like to hit the dock a little harder and at a steeper angle.  We have put
a sharper bow strip on our boat so that if we do it right we stick, allowing
a more gentlemanly disembarkation.  Often when in a happy mood we give the
Canadian version of the Rebel Yell as we approach - quite picturesque and
even quaint in a light rain.  Leaving can be a little embarrassing as
reverse thrust is not enough to pull the bow out if the dock was soft and we
stuck in deeper than planned.
