The text in the Ferrying animation seems to be for a boat with an inboard engine with "prop wash" (i.e., thrust washing over the prop that can be directed with the rudder). This course is for boats with an outboard motor. Since there will be no forward motion of the boat to make the rudder effective, the steering will be done with the outboard motor tiller rather than the boat's rudder.
I haven't tried this maneuver with an outboard motor, so the above is just my conjecture.
