Qué cubre este vídeo

Alexandros Retsinas demonstrates a Mediterranean mooring technique for a Lagoon 40 catamaran in Delta Marina Kallithea.1:09 Facing 20–25 knots of wind, the maneuver requires precise engine control to pivot the vessel and maintain alignment while backing toward the quay.1:32 The process begins by positioning the catamaran near the intended slip to gauge wind direction and distance.1:45 The operator uses differential engine thrust to pivot the boat, keeping the bow into the wind to prevent the catamaran from being pushed off course.3:00 Once aligned, the crew drops the anchor, paying out approximately 30 meters of chain to ensure a secure hold.3:35 The operator then uses short bursts of engine power to maintain position against the wind while the crew monitors the anchor's bite.4:31 If the anchor fails to hold or the distance to the quay is misjudged, the crew must be prepared to abort the approach and reset the anchor.7:43 Precise communication regarding chain length and distance to the quay is essential for a controlled arrival.
