Instructional boating videos

Post by chris moody » 04 Jun 2018, 20:31

I'm going to be producing some "how to" videos on various boating manoeuvres with the help of a drone pilot.

Which slow speed manoeuvres would you like to see a how to video produced for ?

Missed this post Chris, what a great idea.
Referring to my post of earlier this week I would like to see one on the very basics, e.g. basic seating positions and control of the tiller, although that might be difficult to show using a drone.
I am sure I could make use of any other manoeuvres would would be kind enough to share.

SIB or hard shell directed? I'd love to see docking. I do a decent job of making a fool of myself so need to see how it's done.

I watch others pull up and thankfully, I'm not the only one that would benefit from this knowledge.
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Initially all the maneuvers will be in a boat with wheel (a 6.5m rib, 7.8m rib, and 7m motor cruiser).

We will definitely do docking and picking up a mooring buoy. Any others maneuvers for starters?
