How To Operate A Dinghy

This video is part of our Skipper and Bareboat Chartering Course. It describes how to safely operate a dinghy. If you are chartering a sailboat then you might want your crew to watch this before they come. You'll have more peace of mind.

I just bought a boat this week and the previous owner was giving me some sailing lessons and he lifted my dinghy outboard motor out of the water when we towed it while sailing and then he left to go eat with his wife after we got back to the mooring and then I cast off from my boat in the dinghy and could not figure out how to put the outboard motor back in the down position after 15 minutes of floating I found your UA-cam video on my phone...you saved me bro 🤣 five stars

A good calmly explained video. Liked the 'Elbow' and wish I'd seen how to clear a flooded engine before last week! No mention of releasing the air flow cap, check water from tell-tale or checking how much fuel's in the tank before starting.

Thanks so much for this. Showing it to my crew to the Bahamas

Sorry, I always thought the tiller on an outboard motor was on the port side to allow for operation with the left hand. It saves you almost knocking yourself overboard on a tight starboard turn. Also I think the turtle is a tortoise 🐢
