Starting the coastal skipper today. Reached the marina early.
Did a tight manoeuvre practice to do a turn in tight space (e.g marina) trick is to hard to port/starboard as boat is moving forward then switch to reverse gear, boat will slow and also turn at the same time. When boat is coming to a stop do a forward burst of 2-3 secs before switching to neutral then reverse again then boat will continue turning on the spot. Quite a neat trick!
Also practiced reversing boat into markings in transit (forms a line to show you are inline with the items in transit) and tacks and gybes.
At the marina! Wonder if we will sail Venture or Endeavour…
Welcome goodie bag! A cap, polo shirt and a waterproof bag.
Lunch with the group!
