Every completed attempt adds to a running total, and nothing ever hard-resets you \u2014 even a collision just costs you speed and a nudge, not the attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Each completed dock is worth up to 100 points, broken into four pieces:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Lines<\/em> \u2014 securing three or more cleats earns the most, with two or one still counting for less. One line is all it takes to be &#8220;docked,&#8221; but more (and keeping them taut) pays better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>A clean approach<\/em> \u2014 if you haven&#8217;t clipped anything since your last dock, that&#8217;s worth real points on its own.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Efficiency<\/em> \u2014 dock within 45 seconds of casting off for the top tier, within 90 for a partial credit, or take your time for none.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Tautness<\/em> \u2014 snug lines score higher than slack ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard Dock has a second way in: drive straight onto the boat carrier, bow toward the winch, no lines needed at all. That scores on the same 100-point scale, just weighted toward how centered you land in the cradle instead of how many cleats you tied off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Man Overboard and Fishing work the same way in reverse \u2014 reach the swimmer or the fish, approach gently, and avoid bumping anything on the way, and you&#8217;re scored on the same four-part scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Then there&#8217;s the conditions bonus.<\/strong> Wind and current don&#8217;t just look nice on the gauges \u2014 they cut your rudder authority and shove the hull off-line the whole way in. Dock or rescue in moderate wind\/current and you&#8217;ll pick up 10 extra points; do it in genuinely severe conditions and that&#8217;s 20 more, on top of the core 100. Pick tough conditions at setup, and a single clean attempt can clear the pass threshold on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Faults work the other way.<\/strong> Clip the boundary, a pier, or a moored boat and you&#8217;ll shed points and dirty your next approach score. Strike the swimmer on Man Overboard and it&#8217;s a steep 40-point hit \u2014 the one hazard worth genuinely slowing down for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five minutes, unlimited attempts, and every line, every second, and every gust of wind on the table. Go bank some points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve clicked Start Docking and watched that Score counter sit at zero while the clock runs down, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s actually being judged \u2014 and how to run it up.
