The fine art of docking


Recommended Posts

Gotta love that. 

 

I've been wondering all week how to moor a big cat. I guess I'll get the old owner to demonstrate!

 

When we took Tribesman out for a test sail (Who bought her, btw?) I reverse parked her into the piles at Weiti with a massive incoming tide, and got the biggest head swell, 'cos the owner kept telling me to abort, until I told him to raise his hand and grab the bow line. I simply leaned over and lifted the stern lines into place with zero effort. Steerable outboards make it SO easy. Plus, she was a tri, so pretty much like handling a monohull.

 

I'm anticipating a few "Minties Moments" in the first few months.

 

Anyone got a video camera handy, could be your chance to make it big on AFV!
