Nice. The most stressful moment of the sail. I had to do that for 3 years in my one-design keelboat and I confess that sometimes I had my crew sit on the bow to use their legs as a shock absorber to save the gel-coat.
Always hilarious to hear somebody with nothing to do at all on a boat start shouting orders to the crew on how and what to do when they are already totally in control of the situation !!!!! Like back seat drivers ! Annoying people.
That is one pretty boat, clean, simple and nicely handled. Our marina takes a dim view of docking under sail. I believe that the Committee of Dim Views has way to much sway with their head shaking and tongue clicking. Looks like fun.
The moment something as this happened to me I was convinced there would never, ever be a platform or situation I could reveal it, until... as I've just discovered, Now! I did this once, had it happen to me... Had a 36 footer where the main sail was jammed in the full "UP" (sheet) position, on board had 12 members from a group home (unsupervised), in a narrower channel (not by much, a little) and the slip was in the opposite direction. Facing a 5-10 knot breeze head on and 4 or 5 times the distance to travel. It was a friend's boat, the guy who owned the group home. I spun the helm, released the boom, cut the engine, pulled up into the slip setting the sail directly inline with the, THEN NOW DIRECT TAIL WIND, taught, ran to the utility shed at end of pier, came back with a hand held sledge hammer, gave the line on the mast one whack and the sail came crashing down - SAFE!!! without a scratch, bump or ding and tied her off. All up and down the channel all the boat owners were out screaming and yelling at me to, 1. pull down my sail, 2. get the hell out of their channel, 3. Hey M*th@rf^*ker drop your sail!, 4. Stop you f'ng idiot!!! and so on. Brilliant handling of my craft if I do say so myself, and I do. Whudda day!
You were lucky that it was only a 5-10 knot breeze AND that ONE knock of a sledgehammer worked. I did this on a 35 foot 4 ton classic vessel and was happy that the yacht actually would turn in it's own length. Mainsail was jammed for some obscure reason. I had to sail out into open waters to set it free before coming in again. Nowadays I always double check to see if the sail will come down easily BEFORE sailing into harbour. If you know your boat, it's not difficult to instantly depower the sails and learning it's inertia and how to stop it is bare basics. Sticking legs out on a four ton vessel isn't going to help in many situations ! Crushed ankles and grazed calves are the least you can expect if you do that.
Docking under sail should be practiced by anyone with a sailboat. You need to know how to handle your boat - and how it will handle under a variety of conditions. Plus it's just plain fun to dock using sail only. I find my boat tracks better, and as such is more predictable in how it handles when under sail. It's something most folks familiar with powerboats don't understand.
Wow as a fairly new sailor, and having my boat since 1 season. Im impressed. I want to learn this with my 27 foot. A few weeks ago engine died on me and had to sail back to marina, but couldnt get into my own slip.
Some boats are not fast enough. If your 27 foot boat have 3.5 tons (3500kg) than it's difficult to tack or jibe. If the wind comes from the wrong direction than tug assistance is required or to wait in front of the marina until wind changes.
@@bedientvondeutschland1779 Actually my boat is 4000kg and I find it alot easyer to tack with my boat. I hold the jib sheet untill the mainsail goes over to the other side and the wind basically turns the boat around. As for jybing, I find it to be more comfortable and even easyer than a tack while centering the boom before the jybe. As for sailing into an actual slip in the marina, yeah my boat might be to big and heavy to get it turned on time in these tight spots.
Six R-boat in the fleet sailboat dock a half mile up the narrow Rocky River on Lake Erie. They have no motor and are 40 feet long, 6.5 feet wide, 17 inch free board, weight 15,000 with 54 foot mast and 22 foot boom. I don't consider it stressful sailing up the river to dock.
I would have doused the main upwind of the avenue, and came in under just the roller furling headsail and rolled it in slowly as I approached the slip. Just saying... but very nicely done with backwinding the jib for the fast gybe to scrub your speed.
I have a small (22 foot) racing keelboat, I could easily do that. I also have a share in a 36 foot cruiser. I am not at all sure I could do that (or my marina would let me try.)
Segel zu früh runter genommen, deshalb fehlte der Schwung in die Box. So wie der Wind stand, und sie an dem Leedalben geendet sind sind sie da nicht rein gekommen.
Looks like a Soling. Absolutely Great boats. Not a snowball's chance in hell you can do this in a boat other than something like a Soling. Great sailing, here.

Looked good. Didn't really see the "docking", but it looked like it was going to be smooth.
Nope, looks like they didn't quite make it in. But nice boat handling.

O man! The video ends just when it is getting interesting.
Some great boat handling there. 👏

There is no tacking or gybing in this video, only heading up & bearing away until they got to their spot
Docking under sail or what everyone without a motor does. Better than having to row.

Waouw!... Amazing....

Perfekt!☝️
I suppose all sail craft docked under sail or oars before engines.
Молодцы. Я на Twister 800 с ходу кормой доковался на мёртвый якорь

Is that an Etchells?

Hello,
It’s strange: the title of your video is in German, but you are speaking French. Je suppose que vous êtes suisses. Belle manœuvre.
Sometimes titles are auto translated. For me the title is in English.
Easy peasy. A boat that small could be docked under sail by a competent solo sailor.
My respects.
Segel zu früh runter genommen, deshalb fehlte der Schwung in die Box. So wie der Wind stand, und sie an dem Leedalben geendet sind sind sie da nicht rein gekommen.
I used to back my boat in under sail.
Uphill . . . both ways!
Looks like a Soling. Absolutely Great boats. Not a snowball's chance in hell you can do this in a boat other than something like a Soling. Great sailing, here.
Skill.
Why take the risk? Outboard motor on the stern.
Docking? Tacking sure but....
De beste stuurlui staan aan wal.
propre
Nice
c'est quoi comme type de bateau ?
C' est une Trias. Elle est 9,20 m de longeur, 2,12 de largeur , la mâte est 12m. Aux regates l' equipe comprends 3 personnes. Voici le details:
de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trias_(Bootsklasse)
Merci !
In Italy is forbidden docking under sails.
Hmm. Even on a tiny sailboat?
Dragon is handsome
Not a dragon, might be a swallow
Almost
"RISKY BUSINESS" worth the "STRESS".
Nope.
But important to know how to do in case of engine failure
If you do it regularly, which i don’t there should not be too much stress, especially with a good crew.
Coming in under main alone would have been better seamanship.
😂😂😂😂
Toujours amusant d'entendre des inconnus à terre crier des "ordres" pour un équipage qui sait déjà exactement quoi faire.
