How to drive a boat | Leaving an alongside berth in a single-engined RIB | Motor Boat & Yachting

2 things - 1). If big Jon Mendez did a boat tour for MBY, no one would dare question his camera techniques, even if they were mental. 2). Listening to big Jon Mendez talk boats is as relaxing as a pair of warm slippers and a tot of whiskey! Cracking stuff!

I love learning with Michael Caine.

I love these episodes, John is the man, with brilliant natural clarity in his presentation. Keep them coming! 👌

[@johngauntlett4915]

Informative, grew up in Central Florida with an 18 ft boat and did all of those techniques many times.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

I love these snippets! Keep them common Jon 👍

[@cookiemonster2299]

Simple and educational as always 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@superjack2345]

Some good tips here. The one I always find challenging is - berthed on a pontoon, one boat immediately to stern and another immediately ahead of u, with the tide running at 3mph onto your bow, so that the minute u untie or take the power off, your boat is heading sternwards fairly rapidly. I’ve tended to ferry glide, but often causes a twitch lol.

Lovely job ⛵️🛥🚤👍👍👍👍👍

[@nickwebb9290]

So well explained as always, thank you Jon. And what a wonder it’d be to have a full one to one with him learning boat handling, luckily this is pretty close 👍

Checking out your videos. They are really good. Just got my first boat 49 years old but seems solid. Older ones seem far stronger.

Excellent John. Thank you

[@jjrdias]

Jon Mendez is the Guv'nah.

[@59patrickw]

Shame you did not show one side of the pontoon with the wind and then the other side against the wind to emphasise the difference between the two Apart from that keep the good work and explanations coming in a lay man term.

[@lucaenglishteacher4059]

[@ironichumorist]

[@samsonacc8081]

Thank you. What rib is this?

[@JedemPoKucama]

What rib is that?

[@howard11792]

Is it OK to run the motor with the canvas cover on? Does the engine get enough air?

[@rellyasistio658]

More power

[@johnlouisclarke]

Plz show us in a packed yard lol

[@Sturb100]

Not explaining if in forward or reverse gear.

[@samsonacc8081]

He is clearly reversing in forward gear 🤫

[@johnlouisclarke]

So hard in an 70k plus boat.. unrealistic
