Unconventional Docking

- Captain Nemoy could not have docked this Nautilus any better. Texas Mariners Cruising Association "Spring Fling" 2016. Pleasure Island Marina, Port Author, Texas. 35 to 40 knot winds in the marina as we arrived. Getting sideways turned out to be the best option.
Skipper got all the praise but did jack shit, it was the tender operator that kept the boat balanced for the side slide down the moorings until the “hero” just had to go into reverse and plant it on the pontoon.
It is nice, to find a captain knownig the forces and currents.
Bravo to the rib crew , too.😯
Certainly not 35 to 40 knots which is actually force 9. As a professional skipper I'd say F4 max (look at the flags) and with that wind and direction it should have been a straightforward berthing, bows in if the wind was really causing a problem.
I have to question that wind speed, though: 35-40 knots is 40-46 mph. That's Force 8 on the Beaufort Scale, a "Fresh Gale", with the description "Twigs break off trees, moderately high sea with blowing foam." It's also Tropical Storm-level winds on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Now I'm not denigrating that bit of seamanship at all, but there's no way there were tropical storm force winds in that marina. From the flags and pennants in sight, I'd guess 15-20 knots max.
seems closer to 30 to me..
looks like a big norther. happens all the time here.
Hell of a job ! In those winds I’m very impressed Skipper
Seems like you could come in bow first then use the prop walk with a few bursts to keep the stern still whilst the wind push the bow to starboard 🤔
Very creative, works well if you have a tender available. But why is the starboard (luff) dock line not prepared at all ?
That engine needs a bit of help and that Captain needs to learn how to use a spring line...
Good teamwork! Well done boys and girls.
20 kts inside the marina, no more
Sorry, I do not see 35-40 knots wind. 15 knots, maybe 20 at most.
Agree 15 max
And the end whot a job haha whidaut fenders lines o my gad
Soory just two fenderd
You can’t see the wind it’s invisible 🤣
@@Mahalo_83The flags are visible...
In these cases you can approach the mooring by entering bow side instead of stern side. Less elegant but more effective...especially if you are alone or without a dingy.
Docking and spring lines or fenders not at the ready?
Could have gone south quick.
They had fenders out and dock lines ready. No need to have them on starboard side.
Nicely done! He's very fortunate that his boat moves sideways evenly in a crosswind. What I mean is, my boat is over 40 years old with a higher bow profile and lower stern (William Tripp design), so a crosswind always pushes the nose of the boat to leeward.
By the way I'm not sure if you mean Captain Nemo, or Leonard Nimoy, but I doubt Spock could have done a better job unless he used the Vulcan Mind Meld!
There was a dinghy applying force on the bow when necessary to keep everything straight. Also, he may have had the use of a bow thruster. Nonetheless, and in spite of other comments here, I say "job well done". The objective is to get tied up with no damage and that was accomplished.
Wow just read the comments 😁 there's a lot of experts out there 😉😉
I thought the stern looks a bit low in the water.
No white caps no wind just tide/current but you got where you wanted it works
.op
well done after reading that you had 30/40 knots of wind on your Starbord side. Very good thinking to use the duck.
A boat is "her". I love it ❣️
That's "Captain Nemo."
Keep calm, adapt and overcome. Good stuff.
Nicely done
well yeah, he had a 'tug'!
"Unconventional" is fine.:) Nice job!
Als je niet kan varen koop dan wat kleinere boot en oefening baard kunst.
Very Cool!
A boat named after a submarine, isn't that tempting fate?
A nautilus is a marine animal like a squid with a shell and the submarine is named after it just like the boat.
Ad hoc bow thruster saves the day... :)
One "bilge" pump was pumping BLACK water 50% of the time
That was black thick smoke.
doesn't look like even 25kt wind.
12 Max!
Luck VS skill. Can I have both?
The pragmatic US Version. On the other hand, a helping Zodiac is not so outstanding. Had that a few times on Mallorca. Easy way.
beautiful boat too !!!
well.... docking a boat without a dinghy helping would be seamanship. and that ist not 35kn+
Why am I watching some bloke parking his boat ?
25-35 kn Wind - max!
Still difficult enough in those conditions, no?
Capt. did not order his crew to prepare for docking. No fenders, no robes, simply chaos for no reason.
Sorry to see such an unprofessional bunch of people.
Felix Niederhauser yep gotta have those robes ready!!
@@bigkiwial Cannot dock without robes!!!!
And you should get new glasses if you didn't see the fenders and ropes. No need to have them on starboard side when docking to port.
He needs some Stanadyne, his Yanmar or VP shouldn't soot like that.
If you can't moor that size boat with out a tender buy a caravan,
check your fuel filter !
That wasn’t noteworthy enough to put on UA-cam.
Uhh. Com'on. Using a zodiac to dock. This was not nice at all, rather amateurish. But how the lines were not prepared and the bimini and sprayhood all up in a strong side wind, and mast furling main, no surprise.
🤖😮😵👌😅
