Cosa tratta questo video

Stern berthing in narrow channels requires maintaining the minimum steerage speed possible to ensure control and minimize potential collision damage.2:28 When shifting from forward to reverse to initiate a stern-in maneuver, the vessel remains unmaneuverable for 15 to 20 seconds while the propeller wash flows away from the rudder.1:56 During this transition, the boat drifts according to wind and current, as the rudder only regains effectiveness once the hull gains sternway and water flows across the blade.2:43 In narrow channels, delay the turn into the slip until just before reaching the adjacent vessel to avoid overshooting the berth.5:04 Once aligned, use the boat's momentum to glide into position, utilizing short bursts of forward or reverse gear to manage speed and counteract wind drift.8:20 After securing a stern line, applying forward gear against the line pulls the hull flush against the finger pier.9:51
