Using a Bow Spring Line to get a Sailboat off a T-Head #sailing #sailingschool #sailboat

Using a Bow Spring Line to get a Sailboat off a T-Head To do this maneuver, place a spring line on a forward dockside cleat and run it aft to the dock. Use a fender to protect the bow against the dock. Turn the wheel into the dock and apply forward thrust. The aft of the boat will turn out. Once the angle is clear of other boats, engage reverse. It will work well for you to make the angle to the dock with your boat larger than you think - in doing this you will gain more time. #sailing #sailboat #sailingschool #sailinglife #sailor
