Nice !!! We had a guy come into a finger-berth under sail, in Hamble Point last weekend. That was impressive. I've sailed onto a mooring ball, and even onto a hammerhead, but I wouldn't have the guts to sail into a berth like that. This is a very cool looking boat though 🙂
Rumor has it, the dinghy (being towed behind the boat-out of frame) is where they stow the Skipper's huge brass knuts. Skip deserved more than a drink that evening.
Bravo superbe manœuvre le bon vent la bonne direction la bonne place le bon skipper et un équipage parfaitement au point Pas un cri des manœuvres bien rodées Un vrai plaisir à regarder Best regards from France 🤗🤗
While this was a great job, I used to sail my 28 foot Ranger into a finger dock ALL THE TIME, until I got a new engine. Sometimes others from the yacht club would come out to catch lines but at other times it was only me and anyone else on board. (Light winds help.)
That guy with the after line could have stopped the yacht all by himself, if he had walked astern instead of forward and stopped the line over a bollard (or more correctly, if s.o. on board had done that).
Much harder than it looks.. People cruise in on headsails a lot in Everett WA, the wind is from the direction the sailing waters are at so its beam reach followed by a run to another beam reach to another run...most of the docks on the south marina can be sailed into woth the right conditions and crew in that exact order..... I just use my outboard or use the oars in the oarlocks mounted to my Lapworth gladiator 24...as I am nowhere near ready to try something like that singlehanded
Good boat, good conditions. The mission was finally safely completed. But I always tell my course participants never to jump off the boat with a rope in their hand, never to wear flip-flops while sailing ...
And dead stick airplane landings in a public airport are quite a skill too. YIKES! Both skills should be practiced in a "remote location", not a public facility, where every possible advantage should be applied to avoid a disaster. You can not stop a boat suddenly to avoid a kayaker, a child in the water, floating crab pot, or to avoid the unexpected. Good skills, bad lack of courtesy.... imo.
After all my years of flying a B-727 I have no doubt I could dead stick it from 30,000.' After all, almost all descents were made at idle power until the FAP.
As an elite sailor my self the crewmanship doesn't surprice me ;) I my self find it easier to dock a boat with sails up than motor because i know how the boat with react and iam more used to sailing with an sail! I
Not to steal your thunder but there's nothing difficult about docking a boat under sail in a long dock head to wind, and with that size crew. I have a 34' and we leave and comeback under sail 100% of the time in the extreme winds of San Francisco. The only time we use the engine is when the wind dies.
You can actually wash off quite a lot of speed with exaggerated helm recycling (full Port helm, to full Stbd helm, as many times as you need. I was on a YW Diamond Sailing into a dead stop slip, in a cap full of breeze when the headsail halyard jammed! Wind was blowing parallel to the arm of the dock and the slip was a 90 degree turn to Stbd. Helmsman waited until the last possible moment and brutally shoved the tiller hard over to Port (boat was still doing what seemed like 7-8 knots boat speed, but was realistically about 4-5(?)) Luckily the halyard freed with a desperate yank and the Bowman was able to fend the bow off the (Fixed) wharf. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief after that one!
@@77sailordude if you know what you’re doing, you can use a Fwd spring from midships and surge (And then skilfully snub!) the line on a cleat or winch-drum to control the decelaration! Trick is finding someone good enough to throw the line on the dock cleat whilst the boat is moving! - AND To have the boat adequately fendered!) I’ve done this countless times operating small timber, single screw, displacement ferries single handedly.)The traditional bronze cross bollards had beautifully friction polished wear patterns on them from all the constant surging and snubbing!
It came in hot, if u have enuf experience on crappy dinghies w absolutely no pointing capability, w/o the weight of 10 crew, u should be able to kiss the wood w that EQUIPMENT and without the help of lines. But ud have to learn in 3-5 on The Charles in CAMBRIDGE. Then when the skipper has failed on 3 tries to touch the wood on a disabled 3.5 ton 27' Columbia Bluewater, u kiss the wood dead-on on yr first try. That's what u learn from dinghies. Fair winds.
Very smooth and nicely done 👏
Nice !!!

This is a very cool looking boat though 🙂
Even the POWER BOATERS behind them...applauded.
Great work...captain.
Much respect to the whole crew. They all knew what they had to do. Well done
A great boat! Calm and confident crew. Well done!
Excellent job! Great communication, great crew! The whole team made it look soooo easy! 🤠
Beautiful job. And to think most gas-guzzler boats can’t even land that nicely under power.
Rumor has it, the dinghy (being towed behind the boat-out of frame) is where they stow the Skipper's huge brass knuts.
Skip deserved more than a drink that evening.
Man, that's a nice boat. Such acceleration...like a dinghy. Great crew also...no screaming.
From what i can see from this footage it looks like an old TP52 ;)
Very kind skipper, i would have shouted probably at least once for less people to block the view. But a very well made docking all in all.
Kind and calm. Big part of that was a crew that knew what to do, he was able to focus on guiding it.
Fewer, not less
I’m impressed, funny thing to think about though, this is how it was always done before the advent of engines. Still nice job.
Awesome team work, amazing he didn’t even had to announce “tacking” each time he tacked, the crew just knew. 👍
Bravo
superbe manœuvre
le bon vent la bonne direction la bonne place
le bon skipper et un équipage parfaitement au point
Pas un cri des manœuvres bien rodées
Un vrai plaisir à regarder
Best regards from France 🤗🤗
Salty Dogs, one and all. I kept calling out the “Tack,” this crew is real salty. Subscribed. USN, Ret.
While this was a great job, I used to sail my 28 foot Ranger into a finger dock ALL THE TIME, until I got a new engine. Sometimes others from the yacht club would come out to catch lines but at other times it was only me and anyone else on board. (Light winds help.)
Perfect situation, come in head to wind so there's no panic to get the sail down. Long dock on the outside makes it look easy. Even so, well done.
I have seen carrier landings that were less nerve-wracking. Now I can breathe. Nice work!
Great job! My boat is also named Pendragon: an Alberg 35 on the Chesapeake
excellent job on the helm. that looked awesome.
I like how the video starts with Dorris' warning. well executed
Excellent crew! No panic and stress at all!
great job by the skipper and excellent crew! respect!
That guy with the after line could have stopped the yacht all by himself, if he had walked astern instead of forward and stopped the line over a bollard (or more correctly, if s.o. on board had done that).
yes+1 ...i was wondering why he didn't attempt to slow it down at least... from the first dock-cleat... isn't that his central role here?
Beautiful boat handling...and teamwork.
No yelling , not much said, good spirits, great crew and captain...looks easy when is well done...
Well done ....looks easy because you did it well.Bravo
This is a Captain and a Crew
grande equipaggio, grande skipper
That's real seamanship.
That was an awesome work!!!
Very good skipper...great!!!
Nicely work!
Like a boss. Team work like a orchestra.
My dad use too do this all the time on his Baba 30 with just him and my mom. 😂
Your dad fucks. That's why your mum wouldn't let him sail alone. You probably have 20 siblings
Giddy up! A thing of beauty.
So cool! Margaritas all round I say
Very well done! Not incredible though. I think that every skipper should be able to do this as a matter of safety.
every!
GREAT landing sully
I once saw a few young blokes dock a Diamond with a kite hoisted! (Admittedly, it was very, very light conditions though!)
Great Scott!!!
that is no small feat, much respect to the skipper.
Nice! V. nicely done.
Perfect job!
Well done guys!
Like a well oiled machine. Awesome to watch.
i do that solo on my 30' boat about once a year.. and it really is NOT fun but usually goes okay.. conditions have to be ideal or I don't attempt.
Respect, well done...!
That was awesome.
Jojojo un maestro!!! Sin lugar a dudas!!!?
Much harder than it looks..

Just great Job
Awesome!!!!
Geeeez that is sweet!
Well done skipper
Out of gas? Someone won’t be back next race.
Nice Job..👏👏
Nice done.....!!
superbe équipe ,,,, bien joué,,
I thinking... No offense, but its nothing special... Kota od Crew, straight dock place, good wind .... Sorry but lame...
Good skills.
Impressive
Well... this boat was not made for leisure sailing. I guess it was expected it would have capable hands on board.
I love it 🔥
Good boat, good conditions. The mission was finally safely completed. But I always tell my course participants never to jump off the boat with a rope in their hand, never to wear flip-flops while sailing ...
Yes, there were several near accidents with crew jumping onto the dock over the safety lines. Lucky.
That is a huge marina
Have docked many sailboats under sail and no body filmed it. In far worse weather.
Bit too fast, cheers to guy on the spring line payed out very smoothy .
Not the first time he'd done that
No lifejackets !
I dont see the problem in these conditions...
This boat points better than mine lol
No PFDs?
This was sweet lol.
the final approach seems a bit too fast , 3knots? should have been same as a MOB drill and come to a stop
And dead stick airplane landings in a public airport are quite a skill too. YIKES!
Both skills should be practiced in a "remote location", not a public facility, where every possible advantage should be applied to avoid a disaster.

When my dads boat was on a mooring we would go weeks without starting the engine
I've burned less than a gallon of gas the whole year when I had my 19ft on a mooring.
on ne navigue pas en tong quand on est barreur...!! mouvementé l'arrivée....!! ils sont suffisamment nombreux...!!
who needs an engines
So behind every good skipper there's a woman telling him it's impossible.
As an elite sailor my self the crewmanship doesn't surprice me ;) I my self find it easier to dock a boat with sails up than motor because i know how the boat with react and iam more used to sailing with an sail!
I
Wow
Guy is very experienced, but he must think "Slow No Wake" only applies to power boats.
They won't be making any wake, besides they aren't going fast.
It's a tp52, a fish makes more turbulence and a bigger wake.
end tie
Bravo ma non si fa!!!!
so many people blocking the view..
Bravo amazıng
like reading the Bible.
Looks nice, but with absolutely no attention for safety. This is not how you should dock a sailboat.
Easy to say, but running out of fuel should never happen.
Yeah there is a saying in aviation: a superior pilots conducts themselves in such a way that they never need to use their superior skills.
Not to steal your thunder but there's nothing difficult about docking a boat under sail in a long dock head to wind, and with that size crew. I have a 34' and we leave and comeback under sail 100% of the time in the extreme winds of San Francisco. The only time we use the engine is when the wind dies.
You're coming in too hot if you have to rely on your crew to slow momentum. Nice job at the helm regardless. B+
i disagree. Any slower and they would have had stalled their foils, lost steerage and drive to windward. The wind was coming in from about 60 degrees
Mooring lines are there to slow momentum, the crew did a good job with the lines just as it should be done. This was just perfekt.
