Dock maneuver with 80 feet yacht: stern landing attempt

Unst, tight squeeze.

What boat and model?

They stole the floor mat from the Sheraton.

nice job? na die festmacher, naechstes mal wurfleine verwenden,

GREAT JOB Capt.! to the guy that filmed this and commented! don't film horizontal armature!

Nice job, that looks tough.

80 ft yatch with no bow thruster....really?

Shit, that's a big ass yacht!

I guess I don't get it since the vessel has dual stern powered capstans? Why would you not simply go clutch ahead and just winch back? Also the fenders were not adjusted properly for the vessel to port and in being unsure of the closing stern distance why no stern fenders?

Stimmt, der Captain ist trotzdem gefeuert worden, allerdings nicht deswegen, sondern weil er später den Motor geschrottet hat: Motorausfall in der Nähe eines Hafens und anstatt direkt die Werft dieses Hafens anzusteuern fuhr es zurück in den Heimathafen mit einem Motor bzw. einer Schraube, was dazu führte, dass der Motor komplett überhitze und eine Woche Reparatur notwendig machte, on Owner's Costs natürlich...

Cote d'Azur in the Monte Carlo region: totally overcrowded...

Gut gemacht, auch mit Kinder....

why the space was so tight ? seems many people have a yacht but not enough space to dock.

You are absolutely right about the kids.

This was a difficult manouever in any circumstances - but luckily there wasn't much wind to complicate things.Should he have dropped the bow anchor - or anchors - early? No I don't think so . That would have committed him to mooring in that slot come what may..The only mistake the Captain made is not ordering all those damn kids wandering around the stern back below decks to keep them out of the way of the crew.

Because he needed various tries and all in all it took about 20 minutes. Apart from that he should have thrown the anchor in the first place before slowly moving back. This would have made it a lot easier...

The captain did an incredible job....Not sure why you said "better, but not really good"
