A Saba 50 catamaran executes a "pinning the corner" maneuver to enter a tight slip in Alimos Marina under crosswind conditions.0:10 When wind prevents a direct approach, the captain enters the slip partially, positioning the boat so that one corner of the stern rests against the dock or a fender.4:38 By maintaining tension on the windward mooring line and using the engines to pivot the hull against this contact point, the captain controls the catamaran’s lateral drift.5:06 This technique requires only 1.5 to 2 meters of entry into the slip, allowing the crew to secure the vessel incrementally rather than attempting a full, high-speed entry.6:34 Proper fender placement at the contact corner is essential to protect the hull during the pivot.4:57 This method applies to both Mediterranean mooring with anchor chains and standard marina slips with mooring lines.5:12
