Docking is a very important component of boating. Docking techniques usually depend on the weather conditions, but there are many things that you should keep in mind for a safe docking and undocking experience. Firstly, you need to practice to gain expertise in docking. Docking is something that you will learn from your personal experiences. A very common mistake amongst boaters is that when they are attempting to dock their boats, they approach the dock in a straight line. This is a huge misconception on their part. Approaching the dock from a certain angle will make the process much smoother. Another factor that you must control is the speed at which you approach the dock. The best docking techniques involve running your boat near the dock at minimal speed. However, this may not be easy at times. Sometimes, even the idle speed of a boat is too fast.
A spokesperson at Tetradock explained, “We are the specialists when it comes to drive-on docks for RIBs, Jetskis and other craft. Many boat owners around the UK trust Tetradock - and you can too. We normally hold lots of stock and can usually supply your dock within a few days if required. You can have it on a supply only basis – in which case it comes with building instructions and some useful hints and tips – or we can deliver it and even build it for you if you’d like us to.”
It’s quite hard; to sum up, what Tetradock is in just a few words. Their standard floating docks have a unique double width U channel running along the centre. These are the floats that a boat or Jetski sits on when it is on the dock.
