How will a boat respond when you are at the helm? The worst place to discover the boats quirks is in a tight fairway of a crowded marina! Herby goes over the steps you need to take to discover how the boat will respond to various inputs and how to plan your maneuvers accordingly.

I love your instructional videos. You are a natural teacher.
My technique for backing the Alberg is to get reverse momentum and then shift into neutral. This eliminates the props influence and the steering becomes predictable. Shorts bursts with the prop to keep momentum. I don’t overdue the speed but just enough to keep steering.
It’s is just less to understand during a complex maneuver. Works for me so far🤞.
Thank you for your demo and we will practice your technique.
I don’t think I’ve seen such an understandable demonstration of prop walk before. Good job!
Great Show- quit tip from a past error. Never drag a dingy behind you when dealing with slips and especially when sailing or tacking past a marina- those shiny boats are magnets. Cheers
Excellent point! I either bring it up on deck or tie it at the bow so that it drags along our side as we move forward and gets itself out of the way when we back into the slip.
The basic point is that you have all the time you need to think, before you cast off the lines!
Exactly! So take the time to think so that all you need to do is act accordingly
I agree on the practice near mooring buoy, the windier the better, gives good practice about how your boat behaves in the wind. How the bow just goes etc.
Practice with the boat before you try the tight maneuvers. I had this imprinted strongly recently. On an Oyster 485 that I have sailed thousands of NM on open ocean. But I had never had one in limited space. We approach a marina to dock and I wind up on the helm. There was also a 1.4 knot current pushing past the slip that I missed. I'd never docked a boat over 20,000 lbs. This 485 weighed in at 44,000 lbs. And I completely failed. I turned in too late, then tried to reset with a reversing maneuver. But the current continued to push me past. I came within about 2 feet of pilings, other boats, the finger pier. But there were no damaged parts and no actual contact. The boat just shocked me at how slowly it responded to steering and power.
Beautiful hair, Gigi! :) Thanks for the info, Herby!
I wasn’t going to watch this video, and I’m glad I did. Never thought to experiment with the thrust and prop walk while tied up. Something else to do when I get back to the boat.
After about a year or 2 liveaboard and not taking the boat out at all I learned the Prop Walk to Port 360 where I literally spun the boat in the length of the boat while staying in place... Coupled with watching the wind push the bow and use of Spring lines was able to singlehand the boat in and out of my slip under various conditions... Enjoyed the vid and lesson learned... Fair Winds...
Such good timing. Doing exactly this tomorrow
I love, love, love your content
Good stuff as usual. Thank you.
Love this! I am not at all confident in landing a boat despite devoting a lot of time to learning
My partner could use more of these type of clips, thanks for posting.
Angus.
Excellent video. Thanks!
I hope your doing a video on the mooring slip. That will add more wind and current. Also what about going into the slip.
Thank you
Yay, Annapolis - USNA! My Alma Mater.
😎 the Navy has such an awesome campus there
@@RiggingDoctor I sailed 44’ Yawl NA11 Swift there
very good
Nice tutorial.
Thank you
Nice
This is a very valuable instruction. Thank you.
As a follow-on question, is there anything that can be done to alter a boat's walk / response time, etc.? Specifically, in this video the boat in forward barely had steerage to starboard, which I would see as a significant issue that needed to be addressed. Is there anything that can be done to make modifications to improve this (changing prop, rudder alignment, or more seriously adjusting the alignment of the prop shaft or rudder with respect to each other and the keel?
Oh, you're in Annapolis! I'm getting my mast set up this week with dyneema rigging from your videos =)
Congratulations! The first few weeks it will creep, but once that is over with and it has settled in, you will have a rock solid rig for years to come!
@@RiggingDoctor Thank you
Great idea! I don't blame her for doing this!! Very Smart! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸⛵👣🍍☘🤗
Thank you! Love these instructional videos.
I have a Hans Christian 43T. Still learning the docking techniques with the full keel. Will the prop thrust in reverse show the same water disturbance with a full keel like you demonstrated here?
👍👍👍
Herb... This seems like an Alberg 27... Which would be important, because the prop comes out astern of the rudder.
So it'll never be as responsive...
They're a pig for maneuvering under engine.
Good stuff mate!
New boat, neutral is your friend me hartys, and new skippers R
Very good point! The gear does not imply the direction, and neutral is “continue while slowing down”
Probably an obvious answer, but when do you back into a slip vs drive into a slip? I know, the answer starts with "It depends."
My grandfather used to say “stern in means they were docking, bow in means there was a problem docking”
Because of that, I always try to dock stern in but sometimes the 💩 🪭 situation comes up and we pull in bow first.
For privacy reasons, my wife likes bow in. For shore power hookup, I like stern in.
@@RiggingDoctorI prefer to bow in, too, for privacy reasons.
First time I took my new-to-me boat out I hit a boat. 😬
Who’s the crazy chick at the end? That was weird… not a big fan of her just out of the blue
That’s my wife at the end, that’s the outro for our episodes. You should check out the videos of our Atlantic crossing, you will see her a lot in those videos :)
@@RiggingDoctor "crazy chick at the end?" Ha! That's not a chick, that's my wife. You gotta love the internet!🤣
