- Grand Banks Heritage 43EU
Hi all - we’ve moved west and are planning on shipping our Grand Banks 43EU to join us there (Bainbridge Isl WA). At the moment, marina dockage is crazy tight on the island, and not much better in the surrounding area. That said, I have two immediate options that may be ok, but would appreciate your advice. Specifically, we have a very good floating dock at our home, but its length is only 35’. Our boat is 48’ LOA, and about 43’ at the waterline. I’ve never tied a boat to a dock that’s shorter than the vessel, and wondering if this is something we should even consider. I’ve received varied feedback on the notion. We also have a mooring ball there that is sufficient (holding power / swing radius), but I’d prefer to be on dock for a host of reasons. Any feedback / advice you can share would be very welcome! Thank you
