@@AskCaptainChris I understand, no offense meant, my docking skills with my Columbia 8.3 were of a time when recording and posting not such a thing, and I've hit the dock pretty hard (and other things) It was never without some drama.
953173 if you like a smaller boat a friend of ours just put his Albin 27 on the market after a pretty extensive rehab. Great price too. Wish we were ready to retire or we would snatch it up ourselves. This was a few years ago before he had a lot of work done. ua-cam.com/video/h6Gt2P9NgZ0/v-deo.html
I would have had some fenders out, but great job
I agree BUT this was a training program at Trawler Fest in Stuart, FL. They were practicing "touch and go" docking.

@@nomehdrider This was simple fun training in the FL sunshine in March. NO offense taken.
I think more practice is called for. Beautiful boat...........
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
I checked out the Rangers at the AC boat show a few months ago. Nice boat for the money.

Docking lesson? More like thruster lessons. Great boat BTW.
Ray M we were on the dock and spotted this lesson. Agreed this captured moment was more about the thruster. 😎
They weren't using the thrusters to cruise to the Bahamas; they were using the thrusters to dock. ;-)
