Boat Handling and Docking: Hands-on Exercises to Improve Your Helmsman Skills

Every boater has had some trouble docking. This book distills many years of boat-handling experience into key exercises that will improve your boat-handling and docking.

Some of the things you will learn are how to:

  • Maneuver your boat in the confines of a marina
  • Handle your boat in varying wind conditions
  • React to boat-handling emergencies
  • Control your boat in reverse
  • Get into and out of your slip with confidence
  • Back into a slip
  • Make your boat do what you want it to do

    Docking a boat will no doubt always be a challenge. It is one of those things in life that requires constant practice. However, if the only practice you get is leaving and returning to your slip, when you go out for a day of boating, you will not gain the confidence needed to truly enjoy your boat.

    To develop boat handling skills you know you need practice but,

  • What should you practice?
