Let's be honest: who doesn't know the nervousness when all your neighbours on the jetty are watching with their arms folded and you're just hoping that everything will go well when you moor? Host Timm Kruse and Ole Pietschke from Pantaenius talk about this in the 62nd episode of YACHT - the sailing podcast about port manoeuvres.
Topics in this article

This episode focuses on practical experience, minor disasters and, above all, seamanship to enter the harbour confidently and without major drama. From the "no speed, no control" principle to the most common mistakes when mooring: The panellists share their experiences and provide honest anecdotes.

They also have some surprising tips, and not just for experienced racers. Ole Pietschke explains, for example, how mistakes can happen even after decades, why cancelling and repeating is sometimes the best option and how the right preparation prevents both panic and damage to the boat or ego.

Plan port manoeuvres with foresight

This episode addresses the challenges of changing sailing conditions and different types of boats. For the insurance expert, the key lies in forward planning. If you know the options, really understand your own or chartered boat and include the crew in the briefing, you are prepared for many possible situations. Our expert explains what really matters when manoeuvring in port.
