Very helpful clear instructions, thanks for that!

Good vid. My tip to newbies... 100% neutral is your friend. Steer in direction needed then a short burst neutral. Steer in direction needed then a short burst neutral. Repeat as many times as needed until docked. Thank me later.

We Love Rocketts Landing ❤❤❤

Your price numbers on the cost of boat ownership is skewed. I’ve had the same boat for 20 years. I go out at least every other day and your cost is way skewed. My cost of ownership is about $1000 a year if you take away gas in 20 years I bought one motor, which was $3000 I don’t know where you’re getting your prices from but they’re not accurate not even close

i love Rocketts Landing its a great place to visit ❤

Jet. Drive less draft

Alex, good job BUT, you could have stated in the beginning that the technique for strong winds is different as you only said to consider winds etc. It would have been good to show how to lasso the dock cleat and it is always much stronger and less load on the top of the cleat when you start with a full 360 degree wrap. That will put the force on the strongest part of the cleat at the base. The hitch is unnecessary if you add another cross, then you can finish with a full wrap. That way there is no tension on the crosses and it can be quickly undone even from the boat to the dock. You can tie up that way also from the boat. This method is more secure with the modern lines and will save your boat from being pulled off the dock in a strong wind. Your method works fine with the old fibre ropes as there is more friction on them. I asked other boating companies why they promote your method and they said they use a 100 year old book on knots as their bible. Test the strength of your cleating and you will be surprised at its performance compared to the OXXO method. André

Those boats don’t perform well in mild chop. I know that for a fact they come down hard in 6 inch chop.

Loads of boats at Belmont Bay on Labor Day weekend 2023: ruclips.net/video/509V3mLVPlE/видео.html

How much

Look easy but I’m have new experience in driving me boat is hard to control it but this video show me is better I’m trying

Outstanding

When freeing your dock lines, start at the stern and do your spring line last. You always want to start at the transom because if a gust of wind or something unexpected occurs, you will be able to use your motor to regain control. If the stern is tied up you lose the ability to motor.

Great job all around

Excellent overview. Thanks!

Nice to watch a skilled operator. Good work young man and thanks for the enlightenment. ;-)

Can’t wait!!!!

No way you don’t run this place like hitler

Great job explaining it all. Thanks for putting this together.

Very solid video. Great pace.

Really informative... Thankyou 👍

Great video

With your example, it looked like very calm conditions.

Very good but it's better with fenders for the last docking, isn't it?

Chris is a flavor genius! and he is a great teacher! check out dizzy pig spices and classes!

Well done

Very nicely done. After 23 years as a coxswain in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, there are some things I would do differently that I think are safer. Rather than attach a bow line as a first line, I always attach a stern line first and then go forward on that line to bring the boat in. If the bow line gets pulled in too tight -- which often happens if you hand the line to someone on the dock -- it may be impossible to bring the boat parallel to the dock, and on most boats it requires that someone lean out over the water, reach down, and grab a cleat as he did. The bow on most boats is much higher than the stern. If you bring the stern in first, particularly in a wind blowing you off the dock, you can reach the cleat easily, then just put the boat in forward at clutch speed and wait for the bow to come around. Then you can put a breast line (midship line) on. On most boats, you can just drop the stern line over the cleat. The helm is normally closer to the stern than the bow and is quicker to get there if operating alone. I would also use a locking hitch on a cleat only if my line is too short to use the Coast Guard required method of cleating a line: Go under each horn once, two figure eights, around the base twice, no locking hitch ever. That way your hands and fingers never get near the cleat, and you can remove the line from the boat with a little lasso work. You can also attach it from the boat without leaning over the side.

Best way to enjoy boating.

Hi my name is Gary McClure I was wondering how much the fee is to be a club member? Also do you have to have a boat license or do you all give those too?

What kind of boat 🛥 is this?

Where are the fenders, my friend? Please attach your fenders before you start docking, use common sense.

What a great video!

great video. Learned a lot, thanks

very very good tutorial! just bought a new (old) boat and of course im a novice so this was incredibly informative.... appreciate the overhead and clear concise instruction!!

excellent video, well explained, very helpful. Thank you!

Good video, but I wish the drone shots were from a bit higher up to get a better picture of the overall setting.

Excellent video, great job explaining all the phases of docking and maneuvering.

It would be great to see a video with a single engine cabin boat (no walkaround), that does not allow for safe access to bow lines when operating alone.

It's one thing to do what comes naturally from years of experience but entirely another thing to teach it. Well done 👍🏼

I am a member in LA(CA) and loving it. The amount of knowledge transfer the folk provide here in California is a whole different level of encouragement. Best decision ever to join

Very good training overall. At the end he talks about “flat docking” which is a great technique. After he ties his first line he did not state that he turned his motor hard to port and put it in reverse which pulls the stern of the boat to the dock.

Yesterday I tried docking my boat on the starboard side with a breeze coming off the dock. In other words pushing the boat away from the dock. My first mate wife always goes to the stern when I dock so she can jump off and grab the boat. There was no way I could get the stern in close enough for her to jump off before the bow swung out. I'm thinking that maybe in that case she should of jumped off the boat to the dock from the bow and held the boat there so I could then swing in the stern. Does that make sense?

Grew up on Guam. Took the Coadt Guard’s Auxiliary Course, but definitely would prefer training with your Captains. Dusty, thanks for the text message. Interested in membership costs.

Probably better to advise people to put a forward spring on as the first line in case they are carrying some pace. A Spring astern first does not make much sense

Is the price for the season?

Wow! He started out already being rude. I hope they check him for being rude to Jordyn.
