Sailing Maneuvering and Docking Course Reviews
-
Wow! This course was fantastic. Before taking this course, I thought I understood prop wash, prop walk, springing on/off, etc. I learned so much about how to deal with many combinations of wind, current, space constraints. It was great to see all the situations, such as med mooring with an anchor, or long line ashore, or dealing with a cat with rudder forward of the prop.

I've been sailing for about 25 years now and I think I'm a pretty competent sailor with the exception of motoring. This course was super helpful and built up my confidence and knowledge of what my boat is doing and why while I'm motoring, can't wait to show off my new tricks at the marina.

A comprehensive and essential course for any boater, especially a sailor. Very in depth coverage of all elements of powering around marinas, docking, and wind in different boats. Appreciated the new tricks for dealing with current and wind.
- James S -
Taught me in a very detailed way how boats maneuver and what makes them act the ways they do. Feel like I completely understand prop walk and prop wash now!
- Jim F -
The course designer(s) took a somewhat complicated and often overlooked subject and made it both interactive and fun.
