Nice and clear. Thanks.

Very good. Subscribed. Verbal instruction was excellent. Some critical feedback: Better polar diagrams would be an improvement, animated to show a working plan of how each warp is used; esp in this case - springs. Longer video, with clearer videographic (live action) sequences. In this video, editing cut away too soon. Perfect X/O - fig 8 - tie-off though. Overall, a good sensible format .

Great video mate thank you

re: that last maneuver, springing off the dock. We did that several times in a cat and dug a big groove in the gel coat. A lot of pressure builds up right at that corner. It can be really difficult holding a rounded fender between the boat and the dock. The pressure wants to squeeze and roll it out of position. I always wanted a flat fender for this job. Maybe a cushion could be used for 'proof of concept.' Other sailors tell me it's not a problem even with a rounded fender. (I've got bow thrusters so basically I'm now just cheating.)

A good video and explanation of docking maneuvers. Wasn't technical at all.

Its simple, it's like eating an elephant, do it slowly. One bite at a time. I owned a marina once, it was a job to teach the idiots about wind and steering and house boats. Or any larger craft.

That OXO method is slow to tie and looks like a rats nest compared to a proper cleat hitch.
