Don't worry, 90% of sailors don't dock well. It's hillarious. You hear them saying "I sail for 30 years" and next Saturday see them mowing down the electrical box on the pier.
@@SuperSetright Maybe not. I have no steering in reverse at speeds less than 4kts. Have to go in bow first every time. On departure I hope that I have lots of helping hands.

Very well done and fluently, though it's not difficult in a new boat with fin keel and bowthruster (yes, he didn't use one). We did that in our half-keel Andromeda from 64 with 20t and no bowthruster. Granted, not as fast and easy, but nevertheless we did regularly in Greece.
A man with the "feel". Not many of us are like him. When you know how to manouver fat wooden boat with old school sliding clutch, in tight spaces, then everything is simple. I knew what he'll do, the moment I saw him alone on that boat.
Bravo! Pick your weather gentlemen. Know your boat. I’ve seen em do it like that one day without a hitch and then try it the next only to end up mixing the resin. Still, great job Captain!
The skipper is taking advantage of clockwise prop walk. It wouldn't be as smooth if he was docking on the other side or have wind and current to deal with.
No, the skipper is taking advantage of a stern thruster. You can see it at the end of the video, on the aft port side. He uses it twice. It’s probably a Jet Thruster or equivalent. It is composed of an internal turbine and two nozzles, one on each side, or more probably four, including two on the bow. He uses it a minimum, but the main advantage of such a system is peace of mind. I have the same on my boat. I try not to use it, but knowing it is available at any moment is enough to make any maneuver much easier.
Beautiful! Not knowing the marina, I would have reversed all the way from the very start of the maneuver but still fascinating to watch.
Same
hes done that millions of times, he knew exactly where he was going and what to do. even so, a great bit of piloting.
Almost zero wind and no current helped too. Still, he should still be commended for getting it right. It’s always a pleasure to see good seamanship.

What when the Wind comes...
I have been sailing full time for five years now but have never once docked as elegantly as that!
Visualize what he did....and you will get as good.

@@stephenburnage7687 use the engine and rudder to swing the boat around. That's what he did.

Nicely done! You sir, are a captain, skilled at the helm! The original drifting....
Nicely leveraged the fact which direction the prop turns when working forward vs reverse
Or, nice use of prop walk!
Yves your richt, but with no wind its not.
difficult
@@dunruden9720 Not much propwalk with a saildrive...

So beautiful mr david I love it
Very well done, perfect manueuver to turn the boat prior to berthing! Great, congratulations!
Esse cara é bom. Só aprender com ele.
mistrz jak dla mnie ;-)
Very nice, I'd have to come in reversing in this situation.
A pleasure to watch.
Absolute grace and confidence. Top marks !! @Sailingandscuba
well, that was like ! I love it...look at the wind directions and feel it...
Damn that's was slick. Great job. Nice to.watch.

Belle manoeuvre, comme je savais les faire moi aussi dans mes folles années de jeunesse et de skipper...
👏👏. Nice!! Job.
Well done Captain...well done.
Excellente manoeuvre!
It's cool to see people who know what they are doing. I bet he even knows how to tie a proper cleat hitch
Bravissimo)
Super !
Like a glove. For anyone who hasn't captained a boat, yes, that take a ton of skill.

I think you mean fluidly.
You're welcome.
He used bowthruster... Take a look at waves at port bow side when boat is nearly aligned
@@IngAndreaLuciani You are correct, he used a short burst of bow thruster. Haven't noticed it before.
Belle manœuvre
...nice one..i want to see same approach with full keel hull :)
Просто шедевр.
Cool- nice docking
I wish, i can it too
Like a champ
Super ☺
nice !
la classe!!!

Wow nice job
No 'crash' whatsoever. Just a very impressive bit of manoeuvring.
Smooth.

Very impressive, really used the normal walk to port to his advantage. Someday I hope to be that good!
Well practised and right conditions, now do it in rain and wind.
Standing ovation..!!!
Respect Man 👍🙏
My master.
Awesome
Magnifique
Nice JOB....
👍super👍
Wow well done
Like a boss.......
Realy good
Great job skipper....would be a tad different with some side wind.😎😎
But I guess he would handle it too.
Did you not hear the wind ripping in the microphone? Not sure where it was coming from but didn't sound very light
If you go into "settings" and increase the speed x2, it's an even more impressive bit of docking and the music is better.
ALLLLLLLLLLLLike a glove!
Waaaau,,,supeeer 👍👍👍👍⛵⛵⛵
