I am looking to purchase my first sailboat. I would perfer to buy a Cat 16 than a Sunfish/Laser. The problem I have trying to figure out how I can dock a Hobie 16 at my dock. I have a place at the bay with floating ez dock in an E shape. Between the bottom and the middle I have 3 EZ Port wave runner ports (currently they have a kayak and peddle boat).

One option would be to pull the boat up on the Wave runner ports. If the boat is not sitting flat, will that create any problems?

If you can get the boat completely out of the water then that could work...... Rigging might be a problem, you want to always rig the boat with the bows pointed into the wind.
