What can be extracted: Alexandros Retsinas maneuvers a catamaran out of a tight berth at Perdika Marina in a crosswind.Watch The procedure involves handling lines (referred to repeatedly as straps/strops) and using the anchor — paid out approximately 2 meters — as a pivot or spring point to swing the bow.0:41 A mooring line is also involved in the maneuver. Once the anchor takes load, the crew watches for the boat to swing clear of neighboring vessels, with the catamaran's wide beam making clearance the critical concern.1:13 A crew member monitors from the dock while Retsinas works the throttle astern.1:22 The maneuver concludes with the boat clear and underway.
