    Sorry, but that is definitely not the way how to single hand a boat. I've perfected this technique on a 33ft boat in the med; fist rule is to panic. Second rule is to mix up port and starboard engine lever. Third rule is to slightly damage the boat next to you. Fourth; always get yout hands cut up by the mooring lines (bcs. you're sideways to the dock and hence have to pull on an area of the rope which normaly doesn't see any use). Fifth; hug the marineros for their doubtful help (you hug them only bcs. you are more than happy to have finally secured the boat - never mind the swear words they used against you a few moments before). Six; always laugh at others if they get it wrong (also practise your look of contempt if you hear a bow thruster - if the maneuver was successful, you can always ad; "Well, it's a child's play using a bow thruster). Seventh; get yourself a beer and ask yourself is this can still be regarded as "recreational". Ahhh, happy boating.... ;-)

    I remember having to jump around like you are when I would go out by myself. The one year I was at the boat show I discovered this wireless remote control that changed everything. Now whenever I update and buy a new boat the first item I order is the wireless remote. This way even if I jump off and get onto the dock I still have full control of my boat. I have a 70 foot ocean Alexandria and she handles beautifully. The remote just makes things a lot better and help me not not to hire a crew. I am moving up to a hundred foot this year and the first thing I made sure of is that they can put a remote on it. I feel the enjoyment of owning a boat is to be able to drive it yourself. I love your videos look forward to watching more.

    film doing it in a force 6 in a long-keeler in a crowded marina, with the wind blowing you off the quay, at night, black unlit piles all over, heavily tidal, and the usual ropes trailing in the water trailing from quays etc, (and no soundings on the chart/almanac), all because some jobsworth says you can't moor there as it's closed for the winter. That's what you pros are for ;) And thanks for that, Cuxhavn, not a jot of help, no drinking water (they came and locked the tap specially) - all they did was called the police, despite us coming in for emergency engine repairs at what was clearly labelled as an "emergency mooring area" ;)

    Very Good ... can't wait for automatic docking technology ... I have ZERO ego when it comes to this ... I will take anything I can get. I would use a virtual anchor to keep the boat in one place while I put the fenders out (GPS that locks the boat in one position), then I will use my remote control docking device so I don't have to run backwards and forwards and guide the boat in ... all the time sitting in a fold out chair with a beer in my other hand. I have already seen quite advanced stuff for automatic docking ... they have it for cars so why not boats.

    I’m curious why you don’t dock stern in? It’s really the only way we do it where I boat. Lake is very rough so the bow breaks the waves and many of the fingers are so short if you dock bow in, the cockpit in an offshore performance boat is outside of the finger.

In my opinion, there is only one way to tie a proper cleat hitch and it holds the best, is easy to tie and untie and looks better as there is way less line on the cleats.
