Maneuvering Under Power Course: Docking in Wind/Current, Prop Walk & Spring Lines | NauticEd

Ready to master docking check out the course here - https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/maneuvering-under-power?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=yJaqz9h7RjE Docking is where most boaters feel the pressure—tight marinas, crosswind, current, fuel docks, and boats on both sides. In this video, Grant Headifen (Global Director of Education at NauticEd) introduces the Maneuvering Under Power course—a practical training program built around the real physics of boat handling. Inside the course, you’ll learn how to handle the situations that actually matter: - Prop walk in reverse (why your stern kicks and what to do about it) - Spring line docking (springing the boat on/off the dock when the wind pushes you away) - Wind + current strategy for tight fairways and slips - Dual rudder / prop wash reality (why “turn the wheel + add throttle” doesn’t always work) - Mediterranean mooring (stern-to) basics for backing in between boats and picking up lines - What makes this course different: it includes step-by-step practice exercises you can take to the boat and run with a friend—so you’re not just watching, you’re training. The goal is simple: real docking confidence and competence, anywhere you go. #docking #sailingboat #sailing
