What this video covers

Med mooring a Beneteau First in Alimos Marina requires precise coordination between the helm and crew to manage mooring lines and the stern-to remetzo. When wind blows from the stern, the crew secures the windward stern line first to pull the boat alongside the adjacent vessel.0:59 The crew must pass the stern line under the lifelines before securing it to the cleat to prevent fouling.3:09 While the helm maintains neutral or slight forward gear to keep the boat positioned, the crew retrieves the remetzo line from the seabed.2:30 It is critical to keep the remetzo line clear of the propeller during this process.3:57 Once the remetzo is tensioned, the crew takes up the slack on both stern lines while the helm remains in reverse to hold the boat steady against the mooring tension.5:25 If a second remetzo is unavailable, the boat may be secured to an adjacent vessel, though this practice is generally discouraged unless the neighbor is known.4:54
