There’s no rush and you could damage the boat if you come in too fast and hit the dock hard. The bow of your boat should target the center of where you want to end up. If the wind or current will be moving you away from the dock space, then you will need a steeper angle of approach so you can use the boat’s momentum to your advantage. If yes, then approach at a shallow angle so you have more control over the boat and not run into the dock with the bow. Take wind and current into consideration and note whether either will be sending you toward the dock. This can sometimes be a tricky process for beginners, but with the right technique and some practice, you’ll be a pro in no time.
