Boat Handling and Docking: Hands-on Exercises to Improve Your Helmsman Skills
Every boater has had some trouble docking. This book distills many years of boat-handling experience into key exercises that will improve your boat-handling and docking.
Some of the things you will learn are how to:
<> Maneuver your boat in the confines of a marina <> Handle your boat in varying wind conditions <> React to boat-handling emergencies <> Control your boat in reverse <> Get into and out of your slip with confidence <> Back into a slip <> Make your boat do what you want it to do
Docking a boat will no doubt always be a challenge. It is one of those things in life that requires constant practice. However, if the only practice you get is leaving and returning to your slip, when you go out for a day of boating, you will not gain the confidence needed to truly enjoy your boat.
To develop boat handling skills you know you need practice but,
<> What should you practice? <> How should you practice? <> When should you practice? <> What background knowledge do you need? <> How do you maximize benefits from your practice?
It's hard to get started if you don't know where to start. This book will give you a starting point and a guide to follow in your practice.
Using this book will add to your boat-handling skills. It will increase your confidence in the operation of your boat. Most important it will increase the enjoyment you gain from boating.
Use this book as a guide and take pride in your new skill and confidence handling your boat.
