  • Single-engine craft are making a comeback, boosted by lower prices, reduced servicing costs and better fuel economy. However, manoeuvring a single-engine craft takes practice. Boat instructor Jon Mendez explains his technique in our latest How To video...

    "Go slower than you can think, which for me is quite slow." Awesome advice!

    Very skillful, well done. In the days when my wife and I were yachting we used the "whoops, sorry" method of getting out of our berth.

    Those are useful tips for twin outdrive boat owners like me, too. Hope you are well.

    Thank you John, you made that look so easy! No what about if you had both a bow and stern thruster, any difference in aiding you? Many thanks.

  • @happybiker1000
    @happybiker1000 Před 4 lety

    Very clear instructions, good emphasis on wheel before gear, but there was so little wind. I'd love to see you repeat this in a stiff breeze and with no bow thruster - been there, and it was a real mess the first time!

      The fundamentals are the same. What you have to do is to progressively adjust your mind to a bit more challenging conditions each time. 🚢

  • @jonnyjones5201
    @jonnyjones5201 Před 4 lety +2

    If you can't manoeuvre a boat with single or twin engines with or without thrusters, or then again with a joystick then just don't bother just take an RYA course before you drop money on a boat putting other craft at risk.

    single-engined boat-means not to use bow thruster.
