Maneuvering Sailboat Professionally

[@captainivan7008]

Hey Skippers!👨‍✈️ Be sure to check out the new boat manuevering video I just dropped for you guys! Here's a link below.⛵⚓⛵ kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mto4OtpbqFpK8

[@FikretErdeniz]

excellent maneuvering under zero wind. with excellent weather conditions like this, boat maneuvering may get somewhat close to a land vehicle's maneuvering. however, as the wind force goes up, things always get harder all the time at sea.. thanks for the video. it is like a lesson for beginners.

[@captainivan7008]

Thanks, of course as the wind picks up things get more complicated especially if the wind is against you. I have a lot of experience, I hope to upload something soon. Hopefully there's a good breath of wind blowing. Thanks again stay tuned!🤙

[@mikemakuch2824]

Looking at these Posts, seems there are a lot of Arm Chair Captains out there. This Captain did a Great Job, one which I doubt many of you could come close to!

[@ericeves6452]

No fenders....this guy is full boss mode!

[@Cigarsnguitars]

Nicely done. You’re hired!

[@brianbell7117]

I have the same boat, that was impressive !! glad you had no wind

[@LynE40]

He does it his way. And it was perfect

[@evanoc12345678]

Nice, the prop walk was working against him as well by the looks of it , parking like a boss sir

[@bradhines8689]

Great job! Single screw sailboat with no bow thrusters. That was a tight slip.

[@steverussell3642]

Those slips at the end of the T are hard to get in and out of .. good job

[@andrewnes8764]

good use of prop wash and prop walk . Light wind and no tide can make it real fun .

[@bryannonya9769]

you have no idea what prop walk even is, "prop wash" lol you know some words but have no idea what the mean.

[@joeperrone249]

One of my favorite spectator events is watching people park their boats. More times than not, it's a complete catastrophe and for me that's quite amusing. Having said that, I am not the world's best boat parker, much closer to one of the worst ones in fact. But I still feel it's funny watching others do their best to increase insurance rates. From that standpoint, this was a completely un-interesting video, as it looked about as good as it could have been. Very inspiring

[@sweepint]

I do not normally comment but that was well done Sir

[@deanhallberg3340]

Well done. Hats off. Been there and its not easy to back.

[@bryannonya9769]

is easy to back all you need to do is go slow and pay attention.

[@conradserrano5948]

We just spent the weekend on C'est La Vie in Catalina. Well done WINDWARD!!!

[@michaelkiteboarder3184]

I’m thinking the Newport Beach harbormaster wanted to teach his guest from Dana point a lesson LOL! Very seriously very impressive!

[@robmacfarlane5864]

Looks like another sunny day in Newport Beach.

[@paxmagellanic498]

*clears throat* skills.

[@carmelpule6954]

While turning ,there is no need to centralise the rudder really as the ahead control with the prop wash on the rudder, the craft will turn a lot more than when reversing so doing what he did without centralising the steering on reverse will still do it. Some of our bottom deep fishing lines are over a mile long and picking them up with a craft which has not bowthruster and one engine I always did it in reverse as this gentleman is doing. With two engines and no bowthruster one can go sideways and when towing others with a small craft using an outboard motor I always did it in reverse where the outboard motor is king.

[@mikemakuch2824]

OK Popeye, Get back in the Tub and try getting your brown Logs out to Sea!

[@bryannonya9769]

have you ever driven a boat let alone been a captain? if you dont center the rudder it works against you even at slow speeds and especially in tight quarters.

[@carltonbirds]

Very lovely, wish I can say the same for the camera work.

[@tomluque]

It seems to me to I would have walked the boat backwards on the walkway, then use a stern spring line with a get-away hitch for singlehanded use. with the motor in slow reverse, the bow would slowly rotate clockwise toward the channel. Motor in neutral, pull the get-away hitch to free line from walkway and motor forward to adventures.

[@charoox]

that seems to me also like the "professional" way

[@Gottenhimfella]

That would work with the wind blowing outwards. If the opposite direction, much better (in a modern boat like this) to back out (stern into the wind) as this clip shows, but I'd certainly recommend use a spring to make the turn either way.

[@atakd]

As Carmel Pule says, no need to move the wheel at all for this manoeuvre. Keep it at full port lock for max prop wash ahead and use only prop walk astern, where rudder position is irrelevant. Looking at the flag on the building it might have been easier to come out straight and let the wind blow the bow out for the turn?

[@stefanvaradinov3408]

Not Right, because the rudder helps to slow the boat when give a shifts! Also it helps prop to turn the stern without giving the front to back movement when is not in central position! + Helping when you are in front gear with little bit port wheel! But only, when you know what you are doing and know the boat and feel her!

[@captainivan7008]

Stefan Varadinov Very well said. I have driven many different boats and they all feel different. I don't think many people understand that they all aren't the same. There's factors that make boats manuever how they do. Anyways, thanks for watching guys, stay tuned!

[@chrisschaefer3863]

Also this is a sailboat rudder. it's big. so doesn't behave like a powerboat rudder in reverse.

[@gordonthomas4292]

Prop walk is very minor in some saildrives - it depends in distance from prop to rudder and the style of rudder.

[@bryannonya9769]

wrong wrong and wrong, you have obviouslt never driven a boar, prop walk does very little and the rudder does a great deal, even slow and in reverse. get a boat and try it yourself.

[@SOLDOZER]

Even in California the boat slips suck. Does anything in California not suck?

[@arnasar777]

My name is Anthony Rovanouso, I am from the Italian Rovanouso family. Once in Greece, I was standing on the pier on my boat and the Russians were trying to moor their boat nearby, they were in a big bustle, noisy like a flock of chickens, I went in, took a rifle out of the safe, went out and told these guys. If there is one scratch, there will be one shot in your direction and so on. The guys did everything neatly. Then my friend Venice said, I'm surprised you can do. Excellent parking without firing a shot?

[@jasonfrodoman1316]

Must be a fair weather sailor. Let's see him get out or there on a windy day.

[@CorM1]

This is nicely done, but now with a lot of wind!

[@davegeither1202]

very nicely done, hope you got a good deal on that berth

[@PSFS76]

great job! nice skiper

[@captainivan7008]

Thanks brotha! Appreciate it!

[@timcordle7744]

Great driving.

[@oscarm4154]

nice - I held my breath for 3 min :)

[@laurentlarlet9603]

good job. So there is no wind, but criticism is easy. As i'm paying attention to those who are trying the same manoeuvre, number of them would failed. So Try with your boat.. and we will see. Don't forget to call me to get some pics !! really, I'm sailing since a very long time, and we always have to be Humble...;

[@mrwrapper]

laurent larlet there is wind. Look at the flag at 1m 03sec

[@dinosail]

Great job with zero wind and current, no fenders, and no use spring lines. My marina is just as tight and always has wind, so this video helps me about… zilch.

[@andyl-d6633]

Very impressive … but I’d like to see him try it with a twin rudder boat! 😊

[@juditakissova6267]

Waaaaauuuu,,,super skipper👍👍👍⚓⚓⚓⛵⛵⛵

[@brettharman8921]

Prop walk to port. Good job

[@epicnavigator]

Very nice, with the prop walk not helping at the reversing!

[@oldergeologist]

Well, I am impressed seeing as I have had a number of mooring “incidents”.

[@bryannonya9769]

especially as he was coming off a dock and not a mooring.

[@bcbit01]

Nice job. I might have have let the boat's momentum carry me a bit further starboard during the forward thrust corrections but, I'm not there and don't know the boat. Personally, I would back into that slip from now on. LOL

[@jpshipwash6240]

Well done.

[@dudesadventures1446]

you're kidding - there is only one fender on the side - respect

[@olivierperrin3089]

Total respect

[@bryannonya9769]

he took it slow and made it look easy.

[@olddude5194]

I think anybody that has done yatch racing and is used to going out in 25n and coming home in 40+ can park a boat any where you want it .

[@wilber504]

he's da MAN!!!!

[@corvavw6447]

Eerst leren varen zeg ik altijd ,dan valt het wel mee.zo zonder windje 😂😅😊

[@jeremyrowley1240]

He did it exactly right to get out of a very tricky berth. Get a bit of sternway on with stbd helm and then use a hard-over port helm to kick the bow round with short pulses of forward. This is a very difficult berth to get out of either going forward or reverse, and possibly impossible to do going forward, especially if there had been wind blowing from the right to the left onto the the shore. With a crew I might have been tempted to put a line on the end of the finger pontoon to the quarter to slew the boat round, but it depends on the width of the berth he had to come out of.

[@bryannonya9769]

nothing hard about it just go slow not rocket science.

[@hussellusa]

Good Skipper :-) when I saw the title though I thought the boat would be under sail.....

[@danderhallrailway5140]

Nicely done. Got a little hairy around the minute mark but it worked out

[@presleyfm]

Does everyone on these videos has a boat on a indoor marina? There is never any wind.

[@dangre00]

This is pretty typical in Orange County in the mornings before the wind comes up. Dana Point and Newport have just about the most boater friendly conditions you will find. Just not so great if you like the heavy weather sailing.

[@jamesmorrison745]

Short but strong "shots" with the throttle with the helm hard over will get the boat swinging with very little headway or sternway. If you leave the throttle engaged for very long, even a clutch speed, you will get way on.

[@shadowthepigeon]

How long is you sail boat ft?

[@epicnavigator]

I would have use the dock and a spring to put the bow out first. The Maneuver was good but to much engine use is not so good

[@bryannonya9769]

you would have run into other boats your way, he did not hit anything.

[@Breal191]

Good job. The big wheel helps

[@barry5787]

No wind, no prob, no great shakes.

[@keithlittlebury2986]

And no fenders out port side? There's confidence!

[@trapman2000]

Like a boss! Unlike when i do it!

[@uTKingster]

Those views homie, good shit

[@erikmaki8642]

Impressive.

[@tunckanzik]

Bravo👏🏾

[@betamaxrules]

Something done "professionally" is done by somebody hired for the job. This was deft and well done. In this case it looks like the professional pilot sole the boat. Where is the owner/skipper?

[@johnkerr4699]

A C&C 31? What year? Never heard of such a thing. 29, 30, 32, 33, etc. but 31?

[@dirkweissenborn1279]

good job. plenty people drive their boats digitally, full front full astern and full and full. looks likemhemfeelsmwhat the boat is doing rather than trying to dictate.

[@mehmetsungur3747]

Büyük ihtimal bu tekne saildrive sistem. Şaftlı sistem teknede bu manevra yapanasınız. Ama yinede kaptan iyi il çıkarmış.

[@captainivan7008]

Geri bildirim için çok teşekkürler. Birçok farklı türde yelkenliyi manevra etme şansına sahip oldum. İçimde iyi bir his var. Türkçe anlamıyorum, bu yüzden google translate kullandım, umarım bu iyi sonuç verir. Şerefe arkadaşlar.

[@pierrebarousse323]

the more there is bow thruster, the less people know how to maneuver.

[@JD-kf2ki]

I want both bow and stern thrusters, PLUS the joystick.

[@Tuner1967hh]

Nice! Good control over the boat in closed quarters, but... what in strong wind conditions or even sidewind?

[@captainivan7008]

Tuner1967hh Thank you much! You know, it really depends on how many knots of wind we're taking about. I've been doing this for almost 3 years now and I have had winds of over 15 kts pushing me against another boat, it can get pretty crazy sometimes. I will try to keep getting better and better as time goes by and keep posting videos for you guys. Thanks again for watching and your comment.

[@bryannonya9769]

what about in a tsunami what about in a flood? he did a great job you dont have to harsh his buzz

[@EgilWar]

Nice job and I know as a previous owner of a C&C31

[@captainivan7008]

Egil Lomeland Thanks! Stay tuned, I have more marine videos coming! Please share and subscribe if you haven't already. ✌

[@geezergamers7101]

Prop walk boss!

[@bryannonya9769]

you dont even know what prop walk is. obviously.

[@bethtp1]

with the port kick and a lot of room strait back maybe coming out bow first would have been easyer phil ym

[@hendrikbteb2317]

Why isn't he using the wheel effect of the ships propeller? Keep that steer to port side and just handle the trottle back and forth. ( if it is a left turning propeller like most ships are)

[@htimst1967]

Prop walk, or the wheel effect that you mention, is working against him with this boat. It is kicking his stern to port so it's likely a Yanmar powered boat. He needs some momentum in reverse for the rudder to have any impact. If he had a Volvo powered boat he would have just pivoted right out, I agree.

[@ΠανΠολίτης]

What I see is that the skipper did almost double as much maneuvers needed.

[@hbcsteve]

No Hit 100%... Good Job!

[@KaiSommerlad]

Von 3-4 Fehlern beim Ruderlegen mal abgesehen war es ganz prima für Windstille. Bei Wind wird er mit diesen Fehlern nicht aus der Box kommen.

[@christophemoniod5706]

C'est la vie !!!!!

[@stefanodanieli8753]

Like maneuvering a old fishing boat, with 50 semi-diesel HP :-)

[@SoundzAlive1]

I would not do this without a deck hand. Strange everyone else did not think that is necessary in this situation. Am I the only sane one here? I once took the helm for a solo move from one berth to another. I wanted to wait for my crew but the Marina staff said it will be fine. There was a 10 knot crosswind and the powerboat was a flybridge with single controls on top and lower helm dual controls. Well I had a lot of experience in catamarans with single controls but to jump in solo and learn to drive dual controls in a crosswind and tight marina berth was torture of the highest level. Luck only kept the damage to a dent on the swim platform.

[@MeownoldJTrump]

Then he cranks up the Lynyrd. Someone buy this man a drink.

[@hughlivingstone6678]

Icing on the cake. Free Bird under sail.

[@aikydskk]

Vienlo a far a Barcola con la Bora... Pò vedemo...

[@bchadaway7469]

He should have kept the wheel hard over to port while doing that back and fill. Also, no crosswind makes it look easy. Put that quay on his lee in anything over 5 or 6 knots, and the result would have been very different.

[@bryannonya9769]

have you ever been on a boat or just an armchair quarterback? why bitch that it isnt windy?

[@olivierperrin3089]

C’est fou comme tous ceux qui ne sont pas sur le bateau savent mieux ce qu’il faut faire que celui qui effectue la manœuvre 🤪🤪

[@marksteagall5124]

hell yes!!!! and that's how it's done

[@Rjtaylor12]

Helps that it was dead calm.

[@mikemakuch2824]

Helps that he knows what the hell was doing, more than we can say for you!

[@bryannonya9769]

why didnt you whip him up a tsunami? asshat

[@rickc1975]

Why not go back into the vacant space behind you use the prop to kick the stern to port and then drive out in forward not reverse? It seems this would be a better approach if, A there was any wind, and B if there was anyone coming up the channel as you left the docks. Just a suggestion it all worked out you didn't hit anything.

[@AlexanderBerezovskiyChannel]

Cool

[@Darkwell0071]

Do you know that prop walk kicks the stern to port ? He was fighting prop walk

[@jamesandrewpeters6912]

Darkwell0071 depends on the rotation, some back to starboard

[@bryannonya9769]

have you ever been on a boat? how much prop walk do you think that little prop gets on a 31 fiit boat?

[@fabriziorosatiracing]

Vedrai a furia di fare così l’inverter come ti saluta 😂

[@captainivan7008]

Ciao ciao vorrei capire cosa hai detto ma non capisco l'italiano. Grazie!

[@johnevans6399]

Would have been more fun with the sail up....

[@janverbanck]

There was no wind at water level (flag on motor boat) ...kind of eases the whole thing

[@True_BabaYaga]

Nice! My first intention was to go out bow first to have prop walk helping rather than working against me, however excellent execution!

[@bryannonya9769]

how much do you think "prop walk" will help you? the rudder is how you turn, slowly back and forth, just like he did it.

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@bryannonya9769 Indeed. Prop walk is not very evident (and not much assistance) with most saildrives. Older underbodies, different story.

[@Rick-tb4so]

It would be impossible if you had a wind coming down the slip..

[@gaszer108]

If my grandma would have a mustache I would call her grandpa ;)

[@bryannonya9769]

it would be impossible is he had a duck in his ass too but he didnt, that we know.

[@tommmaaasz]

Would be easier to reverse to the empty dock in the back and turn right and go straight...

[@Lucky-uk1bv]

Impressive... I know!

[@justinlaskey812]

that is not easy to do. well done

[@trapman2000]

Well that was stressful to watch!

[@lancevangemst5086]

Could have done it with a few less manoeuvres if you didn't turn that wheel too soon.

[@brucejacobson3350]

You get on the other side of the wheel so you're steering in reverse and forwards becomes aft on the throttle / gearshift. (10 years working boats in Australia.) Easy.

[@captainivan7008]

That's one way to do it. I personally wouldn't dock in high winds with this technique given that you can't see what's going on with like 80% of the sailboat behind your back.

[@adrianvalbuena8158]

0 knotts wind

[@leonardmilcin7798]

Not sure why this is described as "professionally". He should have bit more speed, steering surfaces only really work when moving in relation to water... At the beginning he should be able to either steer immediately where he intended to leave or he could have used forward kick to effectively speed up the rotation (but without necessarily stopping the boat). This happened in calm weather, was there any wind I think the person handling the boat would be over his head. Now... don't get me wrong. In the end he left the port safe and sound with no property damage or undue danger and this is more important than executing manouvers elegantly.

[@bryannonya9769]

your an idiot who should never get on a boat.

[@Snoozzzzzze]

Wheel before power.

[@captainivan7008]

True! Know where your Rudder is at.

[@TackLieven]

Like a pro? A good skipper would use a spring here.

[@larspardo4309]

good judge of where the bow was - but still no current, no wind & a working engine...

[@mikemakuch2824]

Makes No difference for this video, I believe he could have handled just as well! That was a tight spot at best!

[@bryannonya9769]

and no tidal waves, why bitch about what there wasnt?
