Margaret! I just came across this while searching for single handed docking videos. What a nice surprise to see you! Great video. Thank you

Calm, effective, selfconfident. Love it!

If only we all could maintain such a calm demeanour when mooring. Nicely done...🫡

That was ever so smoothly done! Less haste, more speed!

I don't get the criticisms here. They said it was a demo...the skipper did if perfectly. Good lesson.

Nicely done!! Love using midship line first. My choice too.

Wind and current can make that maneuver a nightmare. Nice video, nice boat

Well done! I have heard a saying used in marksmanship which I find also applies in docking; "slow is smooth, smooth is fast".

Well done! Thanks, Skipper.

Nice Margaret! Just seems to be a little more chilly than MDR... Happy Sailing and enjoy your trip :)

Criticizing shows they don't sail. Beautifully done.

Beautiful!

Nicely done.

I was told, if you can't walk of the boat and secure a line you're not doing it right. That's some smooth dockmanship.

Pity about the knots

Perfectly done! I have watched dozens of videos about docking single handed but so far I have not seen one about docking single handed in strong wind (20 knots or so). If you know of any please point me in the right direction.

Nice piece of seamanship!

You make it look like its so easy...

Like a BOSS.

excellent

nice work

Nicely done...but I'm not sure why your not using the cleats on the dock?

perfect

respect..

Exellent mooring!

You are a super sailor. 😀

Great knot tying, but as a commercial fisherman you need be more careful on where you put your feet and hands

Really impressive. It's probably much easier in light winds ;)

Don't let the nay-sayers get to you. Well done. What size and displacement vessel?

Not her first rodeo.

I wonder whether one or the other clicked on dislike because he read the word "woman"...

Nice landing skip. Why all the negative comments? People are weird.

Oke, but yoj have to bring the rope back to your ship! Whe. You leave tou ca. do it from the i side.

Con mare calmo e senza vento vi piace vincere facile🤣

With all the best of my intentions, my comment would be that you’ve left the cockpit at 0:29 to walk on deck, step down and only completely stop the boat at 0:49. If, for any reason, you trip, or slip, the boat will continue to move, with all the potential risks associated to that (I know there’s no wind, and that there are still two more people onboard, but nonetheless). You would rather bring the boat to a complete stop before leaving the cockpit. Fair winds.

I disagree. If the boat is completely stopped then crosswind or current immediately starts moving the boat, possibly away from the dock. Having a little momentum allows you to keep the boat close to the dock.

@@mkaplan99 you have 3 possible scenarios and the respective intermediate cases: a) wind is blowing you onto the pontoon; no problem here. b) wind is blowing from the bow; again, shouldn’t be a problem but I guess that if the wind is stronger you would rather lasso a spring 1/3 from the stern, then gear fwd to control the boat (don’t step down until you have the bow in control). The bow line should be ready and normally hanging on the lifeline so you can pick it easily once you step down c) wind is blowing you off the pontoon; same as (b), although it would be more challenging in terms of timing. Ideally you would request assistance from someone on the pontoon. Again; don’t step down from your boat until is fully in control.

Good weather conditions so fail to see what the fuss is. She's just doing what I see lots of others do including my wife. Nothing special here!
