Berthing a single engine cruiser in reverse
 

I have a small single engine inboard/outboard cruiser which is normally kept
on a mooring. I have just spent a few days at a berth and would like some
references for articles on berthing under a range of conditions, to improve
my skills and knowledge of the subject.

Any suggestions on the best source of articles etc?

Thanks in advance

Be patient for the pix to load, then scroll down about 3/4 down the page and
in the FAQ you'll find several good articles about handling single screw
vessels.

So far, it appears that both responses have provided links to sites that
'seem' to discribe docking procedures for prop and rudder boats.

However the OP has a I/O.. Although I have operated many single and twin
scew vessels over the years, I have only tried my hand and OB or I/O boats
(excluding dingies) a few times and know that the procedure is different
since the prop is on your 'rudder'. Back and fill doesn't really apply with
the I/O or the OB since you can steer your stern while backing.

I have no specific advice to give here except to practice and you will get
the hang of it..

Over and above anything you read: practice, practice, practice. Every
boat handles differently and the characteristics will change for various
reasons, including your own increased understanding. Of course, practice
is safest against something that won't break, be broken, or wrap around
the prop. (cushions work well and double as crew overboard drill
targets.) And it's not a one-time thing. After nearly 10 years'
ownership by our boat, I discovered how much better the boat backed in
close quarters with *authoritative* use of the throttle: A two-second
burst gets us moving before we "walk" much, giving positive steerage
(even in the "wrong" direction). Low throttle will walk us in to the
dock against a stiff breeze.

I think Cruising World had some articles on this - at least I remember
reading about things like using a spring line to warp yourself into a
slip.

If you are going to be going in and out of the same slip frequently,
you can refine your technique. If it is going to be your home slip,
you can leave lines on the pilings to be retrieved as you come in -
this helps a lot.

Otherwise you have to carefully assess the wind and current to
determine the best course of action.

Our experience is with a heavy modified full keel sailboat, which is
very much affected by both wind and current. Without a lot of either
of those she can spin on her mast. With a lot of either, it's a crap
shoot. There are some slips/places that we just can't get into. Fin
keel spade rudder boats handle very differently.

When we first got our boat, I went out and practiced backing around a
'no wake' buoy in fairly calm conditions.

I tried to send this earlier but it did not take so here goes my 2
cents

1-Pratice
2-Understand wind and current and use that
3-Understand which way you can steer in reverse becuase of paddlewheel
effect and use that.
4-Gain confidence and don't get rattled by onlookers
5-Go Slow and if (when) you hit something, there will be no damage
6-Pratice some more
there is a video on single engine I/O doccking that I bought at West
Marine, Maybe it could help

good luck

5-Go Slow and if (when) you hit something, there will be no damage

This is one that I have occasionally had trouble with.

I have a Bayfield 29 - which is a full keel sailboat with a 'barn door' rudder.
I have some maneuvering problems, and the trouble is that speed is sometimes a
problem. If I go slowly enough to not cause damage, then I barely have
steerage.

Then once I am clear my slip, I can (usually) turn hard, gun the engine and
swing the bow around with authority. Unless the wind is from the wrong
direction, then it counteracts my swing, and I am now moving TOO quickly towards
the dock and my neighbour!

Plus if there is wind or current, you sometimes CAN'T go slow. We've
been instructed to come into a face dock between two other boats, with
the wind blowing us toward the dock. Bob lined us up opposite the
space and stopped. Then the wind blew us sideways into the space with
considerable force (good thing he did an accurate job of lining it up,
because we couldn't get off the dock for a couple of days - anything
in the way would have been smashed).

We've got more or less the same configuration except it's a 44 and a
modified full keel. If we have to back out (we are usually bow in
because of dinghy davits) and swing through the wind (or current -
current is sometimes worse), we often walk the boat out of the slip (I
take the line from the stern piling and walk forward holding us to
that side) and physically push (or pull) the bow around. In the case
of current, we will wait until slack if we have to, but wind isn't as
predictable.

"Steerage way" and the ability to steer your boat, can be and frequently
are, two different things.... i.e., you don't need steerage way, to
steer. What most need to learn, is to use the rudder with a quick kick,
without losing all sternway or picking up any degree of headway, or the
opposite, a quick kick astern to take advantage of prop walk.

Then once I am clear my slip, I can (usually) turn hard, gun the engine and
swing the bow around with authority. Unless the wind is from the wrong
direction, then it counteracts my swing, and I am now moving TOO quickly towards
the dock and my neighbour!

If you have a right hand prop and are turning to the right, try a "back
and fill" (pivot in place) with easy kicks .... speed through the water,
in this case, is your enemy.
Same prop, turning left, still try the back and fill, but know that your
backing will be limited, as you will want to maintain the left hand swing.

If the wind is coming from the direction you need to go, did you ever
give any thought to backing out of slip area?
Most boats like to back into the wind, and many single screw boats can
be made to back a fairly straight course when backing into the wind,
over a considerable distance. (lotsa practice needed here).
It's real hard to give good solid advice on how to maneuver a particular
boat in a particular area, so consider the above, as some "food for
thought", more than specific advice.

That is very boat-dependent. Our boat has the prop 12 feet from the
rudder. Steerage depends on boat motion 100%. Also, the prop doesn't
walk. It is too close to the pivot axis to have any leverage.

So, we need steerage way to steer, but that is very slow. In practice,
I have been able to dock without assistance in a wide range of
conditions. But, I was pretty anxious when I first started doing that.

In many if not most cases, your condition will not be the rule,

knowing the boat or the conditions being worked under.... hence, "food

Nice article. The technique is also good when deploying an anchor to
join a star raft-up, which we're doing more often now that we've learned
the many blessings.

In reverse, steerage way is a best friend, but most of us are too
chicken to go that fast or to punch enough power to get to that speed
quickly.

Nice website, too. It'll take some time to peruse - in any hat.



After learning it didn't work I tried it and it didn't work for me. My browser
acted funny after that and lost a driver, but that may not be related to the
members.com site. I'm going to reboot a little later and try again.

Sorry - I should have tested it before posting.
