HOW TO dock a boat in Close Quarters | Powerboat Training UK

Docking a Powerboat in style! - Can you do this?
Inspired by the KZbin movie of a world record attempt to park a Mini in a tiny slot between two other minis this video shows Hannah 'J Turning' a RIB into a space shorter than the boat length.
Hannah has boated since 4 weeks old and has previously circumnavigated Ireland in a 4.9m RIB ('Pink Panther') with another woman, Mo. She's an RYA Advanced Powerboat & Personal Watercraft ('jetski') Instructor and a Commercial Skipper. This is not the sort of manoeuvre that you can do as a beginner but RYA Powerboat Level 2 starts you on the path to being able to do this!

Top piece of parking. I'm going to have a go at that when I next go out, I can see the physics of it but just missed the throttle positioning (idle ahead/idle astern) as the RIB draws parallel and uses the final energy in the manoeuvre to slide sideways into the berth. That's what I love about boating, any (insert appropriate expletive here) can go fast but it takes real skill and awareness to be able to get the setup for parking and that was spot on.

This is genius!! 😍 Amazing manoeuvre 👏👏👏

[@boldozas]

Rib Girl and Sea ........ Perfect !!!!

[@fastasfox]

That's a handbrake turn on water....very slick.

[@richnd1974]

Parked it like a boss, nice work

[@alibee1978]

Awesome and tricky little manoeuvre!

[@istvankulcsar4159]

Nice job! VWD! Congratulations!

[@peterclifton-gould9723]

JUST BRILLIANT AMAZING AND NICE THANK YOU PETER CG

[@Fj4LiFe23]

very nice, i know the practice it takes to be comfortable docking in spaces that small!

[@peterkeeton8184]

Yep I will pay that. Well played young lady, well played

[@daviddootson9016]

top job well done

[@alanwilliams6870]

Very good skills

[@akisantoniou2913]

Try this with some wind !

[@cdn_badger]

Impressive.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

But can she park a car? Just kidding, good job.

[@richyleed]

now try to do that again in rolling waves and 30 knot wind speeds

[@AttitudeCharter]

WTF man?

[@madazjack2394]

All good she tried that a heap of times to get it right

[@careyroberts3924]

Is she the lady who used to handbrake a mini into the tight parking spaces? :-)

[@tudorfanman2620]

That's not easy, but the water is very calm.

[@williamcooper8471]

Idle speed?

[@Hackitize]

Would love to have that from the air. Drone?

[@PowerboatTrainingUK]

Sadly where we were we couldn't launch the drone - use it for other shots though

[@powerboatingtutorials8328]

PowerboatTrainingUK we are doing this next week with a drone!

[@hannesguse1143]

How many tries?

[@pammclauchlan4627]

why the fenders because its a RIB it has inflatable sides so you don't damage anything

[@AttitudeCharter]

Because pontoons often have exposed metal and why risk scratching your tubes Pammy?

[@enriqueveglio5034]

No try it with wind and a current flow.......

[@thomasschmidt9281]

girls can be crazy ;)))

[@claireb6359]

You don’t have to put girl power on to everything that a girl does.

[@Penguins_antartica]

What’s with the showing off face?

[@petea2721]

wow are we meant to be impressed because it's a girl or should we be impressed because she was let out of the kitchen

[@sucapizda]

Takes her 10 minutes to jam her Prius in to a handicap spot.

[@magnusqwerty]

Who can´t do this? Not so impressive. Most men I believe and some women.

If you put this on Tumblr I can guarantee there would be land whales crawling all over that comment. "MaNsPlAiNiNg"
