Med Mooring Made Simple

Entering new harbours in the Mediterranean Sea can create a lot of anxiety for even the most experienced skippers. As these skills with anchoring and mooring to rocks, trees and wharfs are rarely practised or needed in Australia, we created and include a "Med Boat Handling Session" with every International Certificate of Competence we assess to train these vital boat handling skills.
Ian Treleaven has just completed his 15th consecutive year of cruising in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. He has had many opportunities to fine-tune his boat handling in this time and learn from others mistakes.
In this video, Ian shares some of his must-have equipment and techniques.
This is a sample from aaboating.com/abbtv where you can learn from a full range of awesome videos.

His best tip was right at the end. "If you do make a mistake med mooring, don't hesitate to bail out." Our instructor also taught us this. "Never try and recover from a failed med mooring. Go out, regroup and try again."
