The breeze must be so faint. When we dock up down here in STT with a 65 foot partake to a dock winds come at us at a 10-15 knot blow. It's much harder to park. Plus we have other schooners an also cruise ships in the way. We try to parallel park to a dock as least as possible, but sometimes we have to. We don't have inboards, we have outboards in the middle of the stern. Much harder to maneuver. And yes, I agree with others. Depending on that "breeze," getting off the boat while in gear isn't the smartest thing. You should have atleast 1 other person on as crew for docking a boat like that. Maybe I you could dock more safely if you were more young and nimble. Your too slow. Need cleat tying practice. You should have all your lines ready before hand.

Twin engines, twin props and some guy who dont know what to do. Can not belive some one had to make a video to show this. Boy oh boy if he can not handle a boat like that single handed then walk away mate as you are not a good skipper. !

You make great videos. These were very helpful to me with my single handing my 40 footer.

this is so wrong I can't believe someone actually posted it. Step off the boat with prop spinning... the aft cleat or line snaps... and there goes your boat... with you looking like the ass you are... on the dock. NEVER LEAVE THE BOAT WITH PROP ENGAGED!!!!!

I do this all the time but why are you not calling what it is an after stern spring line. There are numerous points to cleat off at and I prefer the Port aft cleat rather than running all the way across your stern. This also reduces the length of line and the potential to hang up is all the aft hardware. Good job otherwise. Frankly who need thrusters when you know how to use good old physics?

Interesting method - but risky. It goes against the grain with me to step ashore from a boat that's still in gear with props still turning and with no one left on board. The priority here - as in most docking situations - is to control the bow and stop it being blown away from the dock, Why not use the line secured to the bow, separate it into two coils (one in each hand) - and cast it (as a loop) over the dock cleat - holding on to the free end of course! Haul in the slack & make fast.It's easy
