This video introduces NauticEd’s Catamaran Sailing Confidence Course—a practical, 3D-animated training that shows you how to maneuver, dock, and reef a catamaran safely anywhere in the world. The course was co-written with one of the top experts at Lagoon Catamarans and a skipper who has sailed and managed cats across Thailand, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand. It’s built for real-world situations: tight marinas, crosswinds at the fuel dock, and knowing exactly when to reef a catamaran so you stay safe without waiting until it’s too late. In the Catamaran Confidence Course you’ll learn: - How to use twin engines to maneuver a catamaran (forward, reverse, pivoting, and even “walking” sideways) - Catamaran docking techniques in tight slips between other boats and at fuel docks - How to use spring lines to get in and hold the boat when the wind is blowing you off - When to reef a catamaran and why monohull “heel and depower” thinking can be dangerous on a cat - How to prepare for bareboat catamaran charters and liveaboard cruising around the world - How this course pairs with NauticEd’s Bareboat Charter Master Bundle to flatten your learning curve before you ever step aboard - The course uses 3D animations to clearly show catamaran handling in marinas, docking, and sail trim scenarios—so you can visualize each maneuver long before you cast off. 00:00 - Who Teaches This Catamaran Sailing Confidence Course 00:31 - Catamaran Maneuvering Basics: Twin Engines & Close-Quarters Control 00:44 - Catamaran Docking Techniques: Tight Slips, Fuel Docks & Spring Lines 00:57 - Reef a Catamaran (Why Monohull Rules Don’t Work) 01:11 - Catamaran Course + Bareboat Charter Master Bundle: Learn Before You Go 01:27 - See you in the Course #catamaran #sailing #bareboatcharter
