Backing a twin engine Blackfin 332 into a slip with a strong cross tidal flow

In our more advanced classes with talk a lot about putting the boat in the appropriate position when tide/wind conditions are strong. Here is a prime example of moving the stern to get the bow where you want it in a heavy tide. Generally it’s not about how you operate the boat or whether you have a joystick. A successful docking situation is all about the approach.

I never get tired of these videos

Yep. Do these new electric vs cable throttle controls feel different? With cable, coming in and out of neutral for docking, I felt very connected to the boat.

@@robwithrbk yes, there is no friction resistance with the electronic ones.

What a condescending sounding attitude from the "coach" in this video. Maybe make the guy that's paying you feel a little less stupid, not more. Your information is spot-on, your delivery is spot-OFF!
