If you go on the Broads for a week you'll see that kind of thing a dozen times. In fact. you'll see it at every big mooring every evening and every morning. People can't grasp that a boat steers from the back.
Easily the most common mistake with novice boaters; expecting the boat to handle like a car, they don't realize how much the stern swing out wen maneuvering.
You all pull the tourists down but if it wasn't for them bringing the money to the broads it would just be another over grown river that you can get round Yes I agree that there should be more training lessons time not just 30 minutes
+Shaun Palmer Neatishead , my Wife and i went down there in a 25 ft boat called Crown Gem , it's tight and can be weedy , first timers avoid this place like the plague .
Big burst of power, propellor acts sideways like a paddle steamer, pulls the stern over to the right. It's called 'prop walk'

Now this would happen less if tourists were taken out by a skipper on day 1 to show them how to drive the thing
I love to watch their mistakes too its the only way they will learn.
About as exciting as your fishing 🎣
You keep coming ba
No big deal- just like bumping your tyres on the curb.
Where abouts in the broads is this? Thanks

+bob caracciolo thanks. Somewhere we've never visited in all the times we've been. Would be no good with a 40ft+ boat we normally hire then lol
you'd have nightmares about it for months after lol
Neatishead, be very careful, it's tight with a 42ft boat .
@@PALMERsafc247 I've been in a 48ft boat and I got on just fine but I'm not quite a novice
