Advanced Catamaran Maneuver | The Pinning of the Corner

Pinning the Corner is a critical close-quarters maneuver used to control and rotate a catamaran in confined marina spaces. In this video, we demonstrate how to apply controlled pressure on a single corner of the boat to pivot the vessel around its axis and align it precisely with the intended slot. This technique is particularly effective when space is limited, wind conditions are unfavorable, or conventional approaches are no longer viable. This is not a textbook maneuver — it is a practical, real-world solution used under pressure, where timing, crew coordination, and precise force application determine the outcome. What you will see in this video: How to use contact intentionally as a control tool Where and how to apply pressure safely Crew positioning and communication during the maneuver Common mistakes and how to avoid loss of control This is operational seamanship — using the boat, the environment, and controlled contact to achieve a precise result.
