MANOEUVRING IN THE MARINA
Quick preview. Watch as Mahina and Nick leave their berth and navigate the tight confines of ACI Marina Palmižana in Croatia, onboard Mila Felice, 2019 Hanse 548. A single rudder sailing yacht.
At the time of departure there was approximately 8 knots wind blowing from the port beam. Pushing the bow to starboard. Nick demonstrates the use of rudder and throttle control to manoeuvre out of the berth without using the onboard thrusters.
This is raw footage only and it captures the true essence of the moment. Stay tuned for a follow-up video where Nick will provide a detailed narrative, explaining the precise movements of the rudder and throttle.

Loved that you can basically not see any prop wash - very gentle movements. Taking account of the light breeze. Very smooth Obi-Wan.
Cheers Ross. Yes Learning when to work with the wind slowly and when you need to combat it swiftly is such a big part of manoeuvring. And when you can… slow and smooth is the best!
a double window showing rudder, gears and throttle together with the overhead would have been fantastic. exceptional control in a tight space. Precise knowledge of boat length
Couldn't agree more! When we are working and have guests on board we cannot always film it all though! I will run a commentary on this one explaining the moves.
Loved the way you used the slight breeze to assist you
Thanks Patrick 🤙🏽
Wow, that motor boat just HAD to leave first, didn't it?
Very nice and smooth operation!
Thanks mate. Yeh thought it was a bit unnecessary of him!
Hahaha that’s exactly what I said!
Great demonstration of the “slow is pro” concept!
Thanks!
Nick that was awesome. Masterpiece work!!! Despite the dumb crew on the motor yacht
Ha! yeh... muppets! Thanks :)
I think till the time I have this capability I will keep asking marina guys to help me and push my bow to desired direction on my SO349 as a newbie. Congratulations captain.
When help is there, it is best to use it! Keep it up. Hvala ti.
Both soothing and nerve wracking at the same time. Well done on making it look easy even though the other vessel decided it was a good idea to manoeuvre at exactly the same time
Indeed! Thanks Blair. You wanna do the next one?
smooth operator..😊😊 !
Smooooooooooth operator 🎵🎶🎵
Excellent demonstration showing a first-class pro (you) choosing to put stern into the wind and reverse with control and confidence. I would carry on reverse, until the boat was fully clear of the boats and pontons. But, that's me 😀, an amateur.
Thanks mate. And I would suggest and teach also to reverse all the way. Just chose to do it in this case to demo the turn and the space 🙂
Thanks for the comments!
Beautiful execution wonderful to watch
Thank you sir.
Lovely manoeuvres
Hvala :)
This definitely made me nervous as our October Flotilla is getting closer 😅 exciting stuff!
Haha yeh, sometimes the best choice is to just wait until the others go!
Wow so lucky this is beautiful
It really is!
You said you will deliver and you sure did. Like a boss. Great insporation, I would certainly try to do it the other way, not anymore tho :D
I do my best!
Wow, that was tight!!!
Yeh that one was fun :) actually really enjoyed it!
Smooth and sleek. Why did you remove your fenders before departing? I usually leave them on until leaving the fairway.
Thanks Mike. I definitely did not remove before! We have all black fenders so maybe just hard to see. Will always leave until clear of the marina or at least the fairway as you said.
wow, and no wind
There was 8 - 10 knots of wind throughout the video. Was nice and calm.
it's crazy how tight the marinas are built / high long vessels they take there. I would have refused to go anywhere before other boats leave first :D
Great driving! What if there was 20 knots of wind straight from behind, would you have tried? Without thrusters?
Thanks! Yeh it is a bit crazy. And yes good call to wait!
20knots from astern … if I HAD to get out yes. But with lines to the windward yachts to manage the drift and not get pinned on the leeward boats. Would not have done it without help though.
Hey there. Out of curiosity, how would you do it if it was a very windy day? or would you wait for at least one of the boats to leave so you can have more space?
If the wind was the same direction, up to 20 knots I would do it the same way. This was about 8 knots of wind. I would not wait as if its 20 knots its no likely the other yachts would leave! I may as well make the space for the others. The danger wind would be if it was on the bow as it would make the manoeuvre very challenging to stay of the boats once you made the first turn
Is it beause of light breeze from port side you decided to turn right and go out astern? Or cause of propwash? Anyway, great job, but wish to learn why you did it such way, and not directly to the port side out? Great dockout by the way
Thanks. Yes it was because it the breeze. Take the line to port would have been very tough to fight the bow against the wind. With stern to the wind the control is much greater
@@45DegreesSailing Thanks, makes sense!
Now that's how its done people ..
lol thanks Martin!
nicely done! you decided to go starboard first just because of the wind? or you took into consideration the smaller size of the boat on the starboard compared to the one on the port?
Hey mate, decision is 100% about the wind, had it been from stbd, I would have turned to port. Would have been even tighter! And still would have chosen that.
@@45DegreesSailing thanks! that way the wind "acts" as the bowthruster :) again, nice job!
@45DegreesSailing What about the rotation of the propeller? If it is right-handed (clock-wise) that would help you turn the way you did.
I was there last week with a Sunsail 38.
i suspect the ACI marina was designed when people owned smaller yachts !
I suspect you may be correct! And when the big yachts weren't so common place.
yes ,sailing 10 years ago in Croatia was much smaller with less boats (not a captain but i hear it from my friends all time) nowadays there is crazy amount of traffic in the marinas ,and the boat places where build when most biats were litle 30's ft
Going backwards always gives you more control when going slow or in tight spaces. If there is high wind that is always what I do so you don’t get blown around.
On the same page :)
Nicely done Nick!
As the others already mentioned, very unnecessary to leave while you are manouvering, typical motorboat drivers ...
One more question, is the propwalk in reverse on this boat "stern to port"?
And 548 is a single rudder boat?
Regards Sascha
Lots and lots of Hanses here in the Netherlands (Dutch design - perhaps because that's the reason). As far as I know, all Hanses are 'single rudders'. Perhaps it's my lack of skills, but I don't like manoeuvring with a 'double rudder' yacht. That was the first thing we wanted to know when we chartered a yacht in Croatia 🙃
Yes, standard right handed prop, port pull in reverse. And yes single rudder yacht.
Follow up commentary explainer coming soon!
And yes thats is correct too, single rudder much better for manoeuvring with compared with twin rudder. My preference also.
Did you left your keel outside at the entrance?? 😂😂 From this perspective the mooring lines look like a net
Lol yes they do! They are pretty steep lines. But you need to stay well aware of them for sure.
Oh yes that was nice! Can you repost/adjust this video with explaining text? Like: 'hard SB wheel, engage engine forward /back'. Especially around 2'14", things get interesting!!
Yes for sure. That will be the plan. Just tight for time right now in season! 😊
@@45DegreesSailing I'm sure you're at the start of a busy period! For those who haven't been sailing in Croatia: Just go! It's beyond awesome! Just like your vids. Keep 'em coming.
This is why I hate Palmižana.... It is beautiful place, but expensive as ... and tight as ... You handled it like a pro you are! My experience is - easy does it, but be careful of others. Right before I go out, I always check whole pear (and opposite one) if somebody else is leaving.... I had bad experience with others nearly ramming into me! Funny thing is, that even on there promotion video, you can see the chaos there is due to congestion each morning, when people start to leave.
Try entering Zadar Marina on Friday afternoon; a 'dead-end' marina with concrete walls and piers with sharp edges. The fuel station is just outside and the queue is a few hours long(!) before the tank is filled up again. That causes stress when holding the boat in position for an hour or so. Everybody wants to get into the marina at the same time... We were early because we knew the situation and it's not worth getting caught in traffic. We refuelled earlier, at a different station. So we parked the boat ourselves. But later, when it got crowded, charter companies went outside with RIBs and company employees climbed aboard and took the helm when entering the port...
Now imagine, few years ago I must dock 40 ft long sailing boat in this marina with broken rudder and limited manoeuvrability 😮😮😮
Yep. Many of the marina's here in Croatia are a tight fit. And, like you said, it is imperative that you watch out for other boats around you. Because they are probably NOT watching out for you. Like the guy in the powerboat pulling out in front of us at 2:00 in the video 🤦🏼. Having crew to keep a lookout is such a huge help!
Getting in early to avoid the chaos: smart move!
Incredible, I watched it 5x in a row. Tell this landlubber why thrusters weren't used, surely such a hoss of a vessel has said equipment?
Haha, thank you. This yacht is one of my favourites. It has all the bells, whistles, and thrusters! Bow and stern thrusters, powerful and in perfect working order.
The reason they were not used was simply to demonstrate that with the right plan, rudder positions and throttle use, you can manoeuvre precisely (to a point of course) without them. Knowing how to do this is so important. This way, when the conditions call for it you can use the thrusters as an addition and help to help move the yacht the right way efficiently. Very important to not be reliant on the thrusters.
Single rudder I suppose ... ?
Absolutely lol. With twins this would be.. uff. At mercy of the wind!
Very tight space for this size of a boat. Especially with the mooringlines and the dingy aside. I would refuse taking this berth or only with deposit insurance. I think Mia Felice has 2 thrusters which come in handy in this situation.
Yes she has bow and stern thrusters. Did not need them in this case. Was more a demo of doing it without! We had a berth on the main wall outside but the wave was getting to it so we moved in. Knowing it was tight.
Yep she has thrusters. They didn’t get used in this situation though. We didn’t need them.
I'm pretty sure I saw Mahina thrusting.
You’re an idiot
With a broken boat 😂
lol, a few others to go with it if that is the case!
stink boat pulled out right as you were leaving and then decided to sit there and block your reverse. looks like there are clueless captains in croatia aswell. he would have copped a decent hollering from me if it was my boat. muppets everywhere.
Hahaha yep the clueless are everywhere. Can't escape them. Just have to concentrate on our boat and crew to make sure we don't end up joining their ranks!
