In this #short video, I practice a new (for me) Solo Sailing Docking Technique. The dock line standing by is tied off to the winch. As I slowly motor my 32 foot sailboat into the slip, I loop the dock line around the dock cleat. Then wrap the line back around the winch and the forward momentum of the sailboat will pull you snuggly into the dock. EASY! If you'd like to watch the long-form video, you can find that here: https://youtu.be/drl8hDK4kdY?si=xrsjVuPSJU-4tRtA If you'd like to help me achieve my sailboat life dream, consider becoming a Patreon or helping out on Paypal! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QRY32Z64LYWF4 https://www.patreon.com/EdwardSeaton You can help for as little as 3$ per month and every little bit helps.

Asking $225,000. This is one not to miss. The outstanding performance and sea handling of the classic Powercat 3000, this one presenting basically as new with new 200hp Suzuki’s (still under warranty) custom full-length hard top, full Plexiglass front panel, wrap-around clears (new 2024). This fine example of one of Powercat’s favourite designs has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded/customised. The 3000’s have a remarkable pedigree regarding performance. The AMIF award winner for its class and hailed as “one of the smoothest rough water rides you could experience… extremely capable in rough seas with exceptional stability dead in the water.” The 3000 is also one of, if not the biggest towable power catamarans out there (if you’ve got the tow-rig). The hull is built to USL code survey as standard, constructed of solid glass. Each sponson has seven sealed and water-tight bulkheads. The current owner has customised this vessel by having the stylish hard top custom made. Full length, grab rails down each side, and two lift-up hatches for increased ventilation. This is matched with a plexiglass front panel (no join/zips in the line-of-sight). Visibility from the helm is now second to none. The Powercat 3000 offers a spacious cockpit with rear lounge and table, which can convert into a bed if required. Forward, the central island includes cooktop, fridge, sink and plenty of storage space. The cabin in the bow features a great queen berth, and toilet tucked away. Having just returned from a routine service with Powercat Marine, she is now ready to go. Don’t miss out, come and see for yourself just how immaculate this PC3000 is. Note: a custom air-berth made for this PC3000 or similar is available at extra cost. Located in Cleveland, Brisbane.
