Hi everyone
I've been
singlehanding my little
monohull on the lakes for a few years and am now in the process of upgrading to a cat in the
med.
I've found some videos and material on
single handed maneuvering in general and also a few aimed at cats. But so far nothing dealing with the typical stern to
mooring med style (where one picks up the front
mooring line from the stern and "walk it" to the bow).
I've "helped myself" by temporarely securing myself to the neighbor
boat over the middle
cleats, putting the engines in neutral and then pick up the mooring line and fiddle it forward. But there is not always a friendly
boat or pier handy...
With the props behind the rudders and close to the surface I know by experience
that it's not a good idea to "pin" the sterns against the wall in reverse and pull up the line next to the spinning prop...
And then there are those situations where the are rocks close to the pier and one needs to keep some distance to the pier.
Any thoughts on this?
regards Jan
