Just for a challenge I used to try moor her single handed under sail.For some years I had an X One-design on a swinging mooring on the River Medina at Folly, where I now live. I had a short strop from the stem head back to the cockpit with a large snap hook on it. Just sailed up and clipped it on to the rope under the buoy. Have sailed single-handed for so much of my life. Now 82 so all that's just memories !
