- In Part 2 we cover my experience of coming alongside to a dock or mooring in astern, against the current, single handed using a full keel yacht. This is useful as I find you can tie up and “hang” off the mooring by the stern line without leaving the helm station. Additionally, if you plan to cast off at a certain state of tide i.e flood/ebb then this method can set you up nicely for departure.

I love making videos especially if they help at least one person out. If you get any thing out of my videos and would like to support my channel, then you can find a link to my PayPal in the above link. It does cost a bit of money to make these videos and I’d love to be able improve my equipment to make better videos. If it’s not for you then that’s cool. I’m just happy to have you along for the ride! Thanks again, see you in the next video⛵️
Another absolute gem of an instructional video. Thanks so much for producing these. Beautiful yacht BTW!
Thank you! Really appreciate your kind comments! I’ll pass on your comment to the owner of the boat who kindly lent her to me for the vids. 😁⛵️
Outstanding Ollie. I've said it once before & I'll say it again - your boat-handling is a joy to watch. Just beautiful. Rej
Thanks Rej, very kind of you!😁⛵️
Thank you!. I have just a 15ft single engine skiff but still learn a lot from your vids
Thank you! That’s great, what is she? ⛵️
This and your undocking video are super helpful. I have a 31ft wooden Holman Sovereign ketch. She’s a long keeler with transom hung rudder. Her mid-river mooring is both exposed and subject to fast current. Seeing you peel off the dock previously, and now amble alongside in astern gives me hope. So far my attempts to go astern are a total random walk. Wondering whether having a go into a strong ebb will give me more steerage without feeling I’m in a speedboat. Thanks again for posting.
I’m pleased to hear the vids are helpful, sounds like you have a lovely boat. You should be able to get a good feel for it in slack water, just make sure you have enough space either side for your escape route if doing a full on ebb! It’s just trial and error at the end of the day, some times I cant go astern at all depending on the wind. Trust me I’ve made some pigs ears of doing it on the odd occasion. Pick a nice calm windless day and some open water and practice going from 2 or 3 knots ahead- neutral-then astern and try go in astern for as long as you can. When I filmed these vids I must have motored about 3/4 of a mile in astern from one mooring to another. After that I felt like a pro. But- from my experiences some boats will and some boats just simply won’t do it. No matter how hard you try. Let me know how you get on. ⛵️
Great instruction/demonstration! Subscribed.
Awesome thank you!⛵️
Excellent! Well done!

Thank you👌⛵️
Nicely done!
Thank you!😁😂
Great video. Did I miss you getting a new boat. I watched the previous video.
Hey, thanks, no it’s not my new boat, it’s one I’ve stolen to make a few vids on, it’s a nice little boat though, plenty of character. 😁
Great thanks!!
You’re welcome😁
Beautifully done, and explained. Is this ferry gliding, stern ito flow??? Regards
Thank you, yes you are correct it is ferry gliding. Good point, I probably could have done with referencing that. 😁
