Nick demonstrates the use of a single windward control line to dock a twin-rudder yacht stern-to in beam winds ranging from 10 to 18 knots.0:27 When approaching a town pier without adjacent boats to lean against, the helmsman secures a line to the windward quarter and applies forward throttle to counteract the wind's force.1:23 The boat initially drifts downwind as the line takes tension, requiring the helmsman to maintain or increase power to build momentum against the wind.1:34 Once the vessel gathers sufficient momentum, the helmsman modulates the throttle to hold the boat in position, allowing crew members time to secure bow mooring lines or lazy lines without fighting the wind.2:20 This technique proves effective in Croatian ports like Stari Grad, Milna, and Rogač, where beam winds frequently complicate docking maneuvers.3:19 Maintaining consistent power during the initial phase is critical to preventing the boat from drifting into neighboring vessels or the pier.1:45 Proper use of a control line allows the helmsman to stabilize the boat independently, ensuring the crew can secure lines safely.2:47
