Frequently asked questions
What will I learn in the harbour manoeuvres and anchoring workshop?
Working with lines, knots and mooring, fendering the boat, turning in tight spaces and approaching the dock, bow-to and alongside berthing and unberthing, rafting up and leaving a raft, picking up a mooring buoy, refuelling and giving clear instructions to the crew.
What level do I need for the workshop?
Basic sailing knowledge helps. It's ideal after the sailing course or the PER, or for anyone about to skipper or rent a sailboat.
Why take a dedicated harbour manoeuvres workshop?
Because berthing, unberthing and anchoring are when bumps and damage are most likely. Practising them with an instructor builds confidence and coordination across the whole crew.
