Port manoeuvres without fear and stress
Mooring alongside against the wind at the pier, casting off with the wind from the box without stress or shifting the stern ... these favourite manoeuvres are easy on the boat and crew

Even experienced sailors still break out in a sweat from time to time when it comes to tricky mooring and casting off manoeuvres. Especially when the wind and current are unfavourable, things can get stressful. The result: shouting on board, a bad mood because the boat is damaged ... Not a good start to the trip. Professional skipper and YACHT trainer Deike Schütte exclusively shows YACHT tv her three favourite manoeuvres that are guaranteed to help anyone master the situation. Going alongside against the wind to the pier, even if space is tight, moving the stern in front of the box so that you can really get in without scraping past the pile, or casting off with the wind from the box without landing on the dolphins of the others opposite ... Deike shows how it works in the film.
