Landing at a Pier
To land at a pier, approach the pier at a right angle. If
you desire a starboard side landing, place the rudders to
port and reverse the port engine to check headway.
Leave the starboard engine in forward gear to swing the
boat parallel to the pier. For landings on the port side,
turn the rudders to starboard and put the starboard
engine into reverse as the boat comes in. You may have
to shift into and out of gear to control the boat’s speed.
Picking Up a Mooring
As you return to the anchorage, approach your mooring
at slow speed. Take note of how other boats are lying at
their buoys. They are heading into the wind or current
and your approach course should be roughly parallel to
their heading. Stay clear of other moorings to avoid
fouling them. If you tow your dinghy, station a crew
member at the helm to keep the dinghy line from foul-
ing the propeller.
Shift the engines into neutral when you estimate that
the boat's forward momentum will carry you to the
buoy. Station someone at the bow with a boat hook to
pick up the pennant float. If you are about to overshoot
your mark, check headway as the bow comes up to the
buoy. If you fall short, a few turns of the propeller
should get you to the buoy. Keep the engine running
until the pennant eye has been secured on the bitt or
bow cleat.
If your crewman can not reach the pennant or if you
overshoot, get clear and calmly try again.
