When this first showed up on our Instagram, our first thought was that is was probably some kind of skam, super hard to do and you would probably end up almost drowning.. Right, you are thinking the same thing right now - aren’t you? But honestly, it’s just as easy as it looks! And if you’re like me, not super strong and tall - you might also find this easier than climbing up the “normal” way. Especially if you are alone and afraid the dinghy will tip over. In my defence I have always been able to do a back roll on the ground. So I might have had the technique already in me. But let’s break it down: 1. Grab the handles on the dinghy with your palms facing up. If you have a dinghy with a high bow, place yourself a bit more aft. 2. Stretch your legs straight out, and keep your head close to the dinghy. 3. Take a deep breath and get ready to get your head under water. 4. Pull your legs towards your stomach as much as you can (knees towards face). 5. Start rotating by stretching your legs, starting by unfolding them by the knees. This creates a kicking motion and of you time it right this motion will bring you straight into the dinghy. A few tips: ✨Blow air out of your nose to not get water in it. ✨Your best point of reference will be your hands, aim just above your hands when straightening your legs to get your motion in the right direction. ✨ Afraid your head will hit the dinghy? It won’t! Good luck! 👍🏻
REVERSING INTO A BERTH: Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines Watch as Nick, step by step reverses into a berth. This is video 7 in Nicks step by step singlehanded Docking To/With Lazy Lines =========================== Watch the full training video here - https://youtu.be/-OPs960oR88 =========================== Transcript Going to put myself in a position here that I like to be in when I'm reversing into a berth. In this position here I can set myself up for my berth. I can see where I'm going here and at the bow because you use the bow and the movement on the bow to understand which way you're turning. And I can reach my gear lever. One thing I'm going to do before this berth, especially on a windy day is check to see if I've actually got the guy on the dock ready to take my lines. And I don't. But it looks like he's on his way. So I'm going to start this turn around now. Here's our man! Now ideally I do this without the bow thrusters or the stern thrusters just so that I know I've got control of that. I left this turn a little bit late because I was faffing around with the Drone and talking and things like that. =========================== Filmed and Edited by Mahina Hathaway and Nick Hathaway, 45 Degrees Sailing Looking to sail in Croatia?
