Qué cubre este vídeo

Alexandros Retsinas demonstrates the overshooting technique for Mediterranean mooring in 15 knots of crosswind.▶ 0:00 To execute the maneuver, the helmsman steers the bow higher into the wind than the target slot, creating momentum that keeps the bow pointed into the wind longer as the boat drifts.▶ 0:16 This delay provides the crew time to secure a control line using a lasso before finalizing the docking with mooring lines.▶ 0:39 Sabine demonstrates the technique by overshooting the target, allowing the crew to secure the line while she maintains distance and controls the boat's position with the engine.▶ 0:48 Once secured, the crew uses the windward control line and engine thrust to create leverage, allowing the boat to pivot and exit the harbor safely.▶ 2:26 The crew uses cleat hitches on both ends of the control line to ensure a fast release during departure.▶ 2:53
