Boat docking competitions have drawn thousands of spectators to Eastern Shore communities and marinas for nearly 50 years. The timed contests are the ultimate challenge for Chesapeake workboat and charter captains. Beginning from a standstill, the helmsmen rev their engines in reverse and back into slips at high speeds. As the boats quickly come to a full stop, mates must lasso four poles with dock lines.
