- It's all too real when in comes time to leave the dock. All the eyes are on you and NO ONE wants their boat to be hit! In this video we practice docking, one of the more stressful things about boating. Watch as we take Stella J through a few maneuvers in the marina and find out if a full keel really makes you look like a drunken sailor!

Good to see someone else practicing docking and anchoring. Makes for a tiring day, I’m sure, but well worth the effort.
Thanks! The way I see it, if I'm going to be owning a boat this size, I sure better learn how to park it!!
Good to see I am not the only one getting a high level of stress when approaching a Marina with my Island Packet 40. Especially when I have to dock stern to like you have to do everywhere in the Med.
Beautiful boat! That might be the first sailboat docking video that has popped up for me. Lots of great information and well put together, thank you
Wow! Great comment, thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. I have an IP35 and found your tips helpful. Fair winds!👍🙂⛵
Thanks John, I am no pro, but I figure I might be able to help others out with what I know. Take care!
Well done Sir!! and good for you for practicing and your first mate obviously knows what she's doing also
Welcome home. Docking is so something we all get stressed about. All tips are helpful. Let us know if you come down to Bellingham. Good anchorage out in front of the boardwalk/Chrysalis although I think you get a few nights free guest moorage at Squalicum. But its fun to pretend you're in a foreign port, dinghy to shore (Fairhaven or Bellingham) and enjoy the town. Cheers.
hi! great video! very nice maneuvers! i'm also about to learn how to manage my boat, full keel as well, formosa 41 and i would like to know, based in your experience, if you feel a prop walk when backwards.. and in that case is it strong or very soft regarding the heavy and full keel you have? and curious and for a better understanding of your maneuver, what rotation direction your motor has? thanks a lot!
I was getting butterflies just watching this...I go through this EVERYtime I get underway, or moor!
Nice job, I have similar issues with my Rival, a beast in reverse but. A bit of back and fill works a treat. Andy UK
Great job on docking..as you demoed, always turning clockwise cause of port prop walk in reverse. Great job.
Thanks for positive feedback!
FYY, the rope on that hand bilge pump is so you can tie it off securely near the pump. We tie ours to the back stay there or the stern stanchion. Then when the crap hits the fan and sinking, it's safe and secure and ready to use.
Ah ha! that makes sense. I though it was for extra grip or something! lol
Great idea to practice like that .
Well done.
Enjoy video! Mike from Missouri
I went with a friend and practiced approaching and docking to an end-tie dock, docking in a slip, and leaving a slip for a couple of hours on Friday. We rarely deal with much current or wind where we dock. I notice that you carry much more speed that I normally would. Is that due to the wind and current? Or, is that due to the handling of a full keel boat? We are normally on fin keel boats with unprotected rudders as we are on a lake.
I need to keep around 2 knots moving over the rudder to maintain steerage, and slower and she just doesn't respond. Reverse is even worse!
@@svstellaj1530Thank you.
Dialed in, all you need to worry about are those white sunglasses.. haha sorry, Nice looking boat you got there though.
My wife doesn't like my sunglasses either! Maybe its time to retire them :( LOL
Thanks for watching!
@@svstellaj1530 sorry man I shouldn't have put you on blast like that. I like your videos I'm subscribed for sure. Good luck, I'll see you around I bet.
@@FTATF Hahaha! No worries, apology accepted!! :)
OBTW, I ALWAYS cheat when I dock...the boat is controlled at the dock by the lines, not by the engine...have the lines at the ready, so you can step off with TWO lines in hand, boat in neutral and motionless with NO intertia going either way...I normally don't have a crew, so it's just me, myself, and I...and the two lines I have in hand...
My wife and I are thinking of getting an IP. This docking makes me a bit nervous since I have only sailed fin keel boats.
Lol, don’t be nervous. You will learn how to dock whatever boat you own and it then becomes the new norm;)
Moving a full keel boat around the Marina....sometimes feels like trying to heard cats.
So why sail one? Hydrodynamics from the 1850's. We can do so much better now.
I don't know what you sail, but clipper ships first built in the 1840s were capable of sailing at nearly 20 knots. There are records of sailing about 400 nm in 24 hours.
@@aphilippinesadventure9184 firstly clippers were very narrow and comparatively light for their length - almost the first ULDB's and secondly they only went downwind.
Congrats on joining the rally...FYI; Radeen and I have 40,000 nm on our IP35 and 20+ years. May I make the recommendation that the guy handles the anchor/windlass and Tanya handles the helm. This is not a sexist comment, it just seems to make more sense. Plus you do not want Tanya to get hurt and you want her to be good at the helm as well. It's what we have done for 20+ years....just an FYI....
I think its very important for the BOTH of us to know to operate all systems on the boat and become comfortable while doing so. Tanya moves at a different pace than I, so I always let her choose what she is more comfortable with. Last season was a real success for us so I am really excited to see how much we continue to grow this year!
LoL, now turn & dock counter clockwise (to port) with your right-hand prop and full keel.....single handed
Oh boy, I haven't worked up to the single hand docking level yet. I have heard may tips for this though, all about proper preparation!
Docking to starboard is not hard on a full keel. Its docking to port thats hard. Also you should get a Docking Stick. It eliminate all the running and jumping off the boat and running around.
I will never see tha attraction Americans have for IP's and full keels in general. If you wanted to make a boat slow and hard to sail you would make it heavy, beamy, shoal draught, full keel and short rig - and thats an IP. They sail like bricks.
Neem wat les ,voor je schade maakt.😢
