To rotate a boat moored alongside a dock within a narrow channel, use a stern spring line to pivot the vessel and reverse its orientation.0:17 Secure a single stern spring line on the side currently against the dock.2:54 Engage the engine in forward gear at minimum power while keeping the rudder turned toward the dock initially to prevent the hull from striking the pier.3:08 The propeller wash against the rudder creates a force that pushes the stern away from the dock while the spring line pulls the boat forward along the pier.3:22 As the bow swings away from the dock, gradually shift the rudder to the opposite side to accelerate the turn.4:43 This maneuver allows a vessel to reverse its heading in confined spaces where a standard turn is impossible.5:04 The technique is taught during 14-hour practical training modules held at the Marina de Alicante.6:07
