DOUBLE RUDDER OPENING FROM ALONGSIDE

Epic Navigato Opening a double-rudder monohull from alongside can be challenging — mainly because the prop wash never reaches the rudders. Instead of pushing the stern out when you turn the wheel, the prop wash goes straight between the two rudders, leaving you with almost zero steering authority. In today’s video, I’m showing you the most reliable and safe technique: 👉 Using the opposite bow spring (opposite spring line) to control the bow 👉 Creating controlled rotation without relying on the rudders 👉 Keeping the stern clear and predictable, even in tight marinas Once you understand this method, double-rudder monohulls become much easier to maneuver. --- FULL TRAINING VIDEOS & EXCLUSIVE CONTENT For full, detailed maneuvering tutorials, slow-motion breakdowns, and real docking sessions, join the paid membership on the channel. --- Train with Epic Navigator – Real Hands-On Coaching** Hands-on training in: • Med Mooring • Alongside docking • Single-handed mastery • Leadership & seamanship • Real-world boat handling Check availability & book your training here: 👉 https://epicnavigator.com/calendar/](https://epicnavigator.com/calendar/ --- Join the Newsletter Stay updated only about: • New training programs • New techniques • Important announcements 👉 No spam.
