One of my tenants has actually been injured here while working on his mooring whip-equipped boat!
Yes, we have a "recent" wake problem and have to "double-up" on dock lines or put our largest boat on the mooring.
Fortunately, it's mostly just weekends.
The exposure here is such that a warp-line gets snagged with any change of wind. (One line becomes "loaded", such that it is brought closer to the surface than the other line). Warp-lines work best on dinghies without rudders or propellers: our smaller boats just get pulled out of the water.
Now I have a question for a seasoned ocean sailor that relates to whips, wind,
and wakes. (To simplify, leave off "spray" from the equation).
If that photographed wake was "normal wave action" from wind, what would you estimate the period and frequency to be? For reference, the dock is five-feet wide, and that is a wake from
one boat.
