Day 18 of one boating tip a day !

A small addition, after getting many comments on this video where I was suggested to tie the spring line to the stern to avoid the big swing to the dock, I did and it also worked, in light conditions I would probably use the spring line from he stern instead from midship :)

FWD spring is something I’ll use If no one on the dock theres to help me, or if I’m single handling a boat, or if wind is pushing me super strong away from the dock, you can easily bring the boat closer, and this is how you do it !

If you prepare a line with a bowline and put a pipe into that bowline loop to keep it open it’s even easier.

If you’re new to this channel,
Hey, my name is Oran, and I love teaching.
Helping people become skilled skippers/captains is one of the most rewarding sub-categories of teaching. It’s intimate, it’s a lifestyle, and the teaching and learning are non-stop. The classroom is Oceanview, and the smell of adventure leaks from the holding tanks ❤️🥲

If you enjoy my learning style and want to come learn with me how to enjoy and be safe in this beautiful nature, in a daily challenging and adventurous environment, check the link in the bio or just send me a msg.
I have some planned courses for this summer with Sailing Virgins in Croatia and other cool expeditions, check it out!
