Nice job! Those dock positions looked very tight for a 32.

More prop ... less rudder...

So shifting straight from forward to reverse like that is not damaging? I always go to neutral for a second, then reverse/forward for fear of breaking something.

It's fun to see mooring practices from around the world. Now I'm going to have to figure out exactly where that canal is.

I, personally, would have edited the stern line error at about 2.30 on the clip where you move slips. Just the body language of the gentleman is funny.

Keep sharing your videos. It's not only helpful to newer boaters and entertaining to older, it makes me want to check out canal cruising there more. My brother and his wife did it several years ago and are wanting to do it again.

I'm fortunate that my boat is very heavy (47K) and moves slow and deliberately, but I never touch the rudder once I enter port unless I absolutely need to.

I don't have thrusters, but Even then I re-center after use and use the props. Most boats will turn on their length if the owner is knowledgeable and confident. Good videos though. Thanks

[CarMan]

I like to make the additions myself, but often people want to help, usually not very well. They do not do what I'm thinking. :P

The gentiman in the clip spraka german and i spraka swedich :S

Peopple in sailboats is ofen akt to slow.

As long as I stand at the controls, I feel safe. When I leave the controls, you have to act quickly if it's blowing. If it does not work according to schedule, I'll go back to the controls and start over.

[CarMan]

I do not feel that I'm moving back and forth too fast. There are no bangs or feelings of jerkiness.

In the above movies it blows about 8m/sec, (15knots) since there is no time to wait between the switches.

[CarMan]

The hard thing is to see the stern, i hawe to move to see.

Next Doking, not so hard wind and mutch easyer to controll the boat.

My litle red digny is tied to the bow on the 3288.

I use the machines to rotate the boat, the bowthruster I use with the engines when I want the boat to move completely sideways

My boat dont rotate so good whid out ritning the roders.

When its no wind its easy, this is no wind and no bowthruster.

When I read your comment about you speaking German and you speaking Swedish my first reaction was to want to give our Canadian friends a tease and say we have the same language problem. Well, maybe in Quebec, but it's good natured fun.

A skipper takes whatever help he/she can get. Have you considered a cockpit station? I'm much less mobile than you and find that getting from the upper Helm to my lines when single handing can be stressful.

[CarMan]

It's not so often that blows so much, in the case of weaker winds it will not be stressful.

This video is a lunch stop i a Island.

At the end of the movie, I need both hands, so I can not shoot when I jump land and tie the boat in the trees.
