My Rules about docking:
1. Never go faster than you're willing to hit anything.
2. If you're going to hit something, hit the softest, cheapest thing you see.
3. Style matters. Pay attention to the wind/ tide/ people.

3a. Always look confident ... the expression on your face should convey "I meant to do that"

To paraphrase our pilot friends:
"You get to walk away from a good docking. With a great docking you get to use the boat again"!!

I agree with Don's approach. I learn this lesson at the cost of a new pulpit and major glass work on the bow of our PO'd C25. Now I just have all sit and do nothing which lets me concern myself only with the task at hand and not worry if they will or will not do what I have instructed them to do.
