Qué cubre este vídeo
Departing a slip stern-to in a crosswind requires using the windward quarter line as a primary control line to maintain position against the wind while maneuvering between adjacent vessels.12:31 Before casting off, clear the deck of power cables, gangplanks, and laundry, and ensure fenders are deployed on the leeward side.0:48 With the engine in forward gear, apply enough throttle to drive the boat against the tension of the stern lines, which prevents the vessel from drifting downwind into neighboring boats.1:52 If the boat drifts toward the leeward side, adjust the rudder to steer the stern away from the danger.2:38 Once the boat is positioned safely, release the leeward line first, then slowly ease the windward line while maintaining steady engine power.4:01 After clearing the slip, steer toward the windward side to counteract the drift before straightening the helm to exit the berth.5:04 Maintaining consistent engine power is critical, as losing momentum allows the wind to push the boat backward into the dock.12:40
