With high waves after a western storm we, monohull sailors would always wait for the catamaransailors, especially the Hobycat sailors with more money than brains, to bury their boats into the banks and break the mast… these masts were great for the ice- and beach sailing thingies… never a dull moment…😂😂😂😂

[@the_lenny_draper]

For the new "captains", might I suggest, take a day off work during the week, when the ramp is not busy, put the boat in the water and practice docking.

[@williamgibb5557]

Maybe there is a video game that you can play to practice docking with. But yes, real life practice is worth it.

[@richardconrad698]

that is exactly what my wife and I did years ago with our first boat! we practiced launching the boat and putting it back on the trailer with no one around. the only trouble i have now with our newer boat is that the dock where we keep it, is super shallow! MUCH more difficult to dock it when windy, with the prop up.... but teamwork, slow and steady, and practice, is a big help!!!

[@charlesbeall2589]

But, but that would take EFFORT!🤡

[@SOLDOZER]

I solo sail a 40' full keel sailboat all over Florida. Never had half the issues these people have. I set up lines at the ready on both sides and use Docking Sticks.If you Docking Sticks all you have to do is get within 8-10 feet of the dock and you're good. Watching these people ram the dock and they still cant get it is comical.

[@nelsboatlife6009]

Man, I watch this channel every day. And this had to be the most heart-stopping episode. I had something like this happen to me. I mean I didn't jump off my boat. But having people on your vessel that have no clue what they are doing is dangerous. It's our responsibility to teach them the basics and explain what we need them to do when that time comes. Learned my lesson as I'm sure this guy did. Gel coat is not a cheap fix.

[@TheByard]

The other thing to do is practice docking at all states of the tide and wind. It's no use just dropping the boat in going for a ride and coming back, where is the skill set going to be learnt.

[@robertteap8052]

No point in teaching others.. The first man that attempted to Dock hadn't any idea of how to steer or how to put the boat in neutral.... Without doubt a dangerous idiot

[@Fish-please]

[@petegregory517]

After a day of boating (on the Potomac) we used to get a table near the ramp to eat our dinner, big fun! I never interjected unless asked. Wife and I used to “wow” people loading ours. She in boat, me backing. Trailer hit the water, she already powering in, bingo, snap, pull it, 30-45 seconds, max, windy, strong current or not. My dad and bro’s taught me well.

This was painful to watch. It still astounds me of the ignorance and incompetence of some boat owners..

[@redman2751]

That’s probably me lol. My first boat is a 25ft seahunt center console. Luckily we had about a 6 month wait while the boat was being built. During that time I’ve been watching these videos and how to’s to learn what to do and what not to do, honestly these docking videos are the most helpful. It’s interesting how much you can learn from learning what not to do. No major issues, I did clock the dock one day, we had a strong wind going the opposite direction as the current which was also strong. I thought the current would win so set it up that way but the wind won and pushed the dock. No real damage but it’s the only rash I’ve had so far. I’d like to think I’m decent enough but someone watching me probably cringes plenty.

[@Mike_Ripper]

2 lines ashore and still a fail!! Amazing. Those sticky up solid looking poley things. Perfect for tying off a line and stopping a 16 foot boat. Job done.

Yes mate.... Sounds simple to you and me,,, also, would be a great help if he found out where neutral is before he even got onto the water......

[@jeffrandolf5673]

@@robertteap8052 It is simple AF. I used to bring 28 - 45 foot sailboats/power boats into slips by myself with current & wind. If you're standing on a dock with TWO docklines in your hands, you have total control to reign the boat in.

[@williamuptgraft1755]

The kid reaching over the back of the boat for the line that was getting tangled in the prop was by far the scariest thing in this video

I am not sure what goes on in America but here in Australia in particular Western Australia we have to have a skipper’s ticket to operate a boat. That involves doing a course which involves theory and a practical test. There is no way a lot of the boats owners I am watching here would ever pass the course.

You also have drivers license to drive a car but drive like idiots still. Also Australians love big government telling them what to do and yall wear it like a badge of honor.

[@Shrouded_reaper]

Just did my Queensland boat licence. Its a joke, one dude failed 20 of the theory questions, 12 the second time despite the guy basically telling him the answers, took him 4 tries to pass it despite the fact that you are only meant to get one attempt and the questions are pretty much the most basic stuff ever. The practical is a joke too, just put around on flat water for a little bit while the instructor tells you exactly what to do and takes the controls if you mess up. Basically impossible to fail.

[@tastx3142]

I was better at docking the boat as well as getting it up onto the boat trailer than my husband no matter how choppy or windy it was. I still had bumpers placed on the cleats just in case on the side against the dock. I wasn’t good at backing the trailer down the long ramp, so found out by chance that he was good at that and I was better at maneuvering around the dock and trailer. It’s a skill and some people are just better instinctively than others. My husband came in too fast and damaged the bow needing repairs so it became our usual task. No more time wasted getting the trailer positioned and no more dock crashes and multiple attempts at trailering the boat. We took friends out and didn’t understand that boats and cars don’t move the same way. Taking a USCG boating safety course provided us with valuable information and should be required.
