Slapping the Wind and Overshooting for Mediterranean Mooring

Mastering Reverse Docking & Crosswind Control — August Mediterranean Masterclass Hi sailors & adventurers! In this video, you’ll see Sabine practicing one of the most critical and rewarding maneuvers: reversing the boat under control with the stern facing into the wind, then pivoting sharply to approach the dock perfectly stern to. We demonstrate how to keep the boat high on the wind during reverse, giving us the extra time needed to pass the drop point and throw the line, setting up a perfect “control line” — which we then use to help pivot, motor ahead, and maneuver out of the harbor safely. This is exactly the kind of real-world skill we emphasize in our **Mediterranean Masterclass, running 2–16 August, where you’ll get daily hands-on training on: ✅ Single-handed maneuvers ✅ Advanced Med mooring techniques ✅ Leadership & crew management ✅ Strategic boat positioning in strong winds We’ll be sailing through the stunning Cyclades and Dodecanese islands, logging serious miles while building true confidence at sea.
