Practical Seminar on Port Maneuvers and Anchoring | 29 January
The daily spectacle at marinas is as much a part of sailing as the wind itself. While some skippers can master maneuvering their yachts even in the most adverse conditions, others struggle with wind-exposed surfaces, short keels, twin-rudder systems, or the so-called “wheel effect.” And these are just a few of the factors that influence the success or failure of a maneuver.
In this lively seminar packed with practical tips, round-the-world sailor Sönke Roever explains what really matters when maneuvering and how the various effects involved in docking, undocking, or anchoring can be not only counteracted but also deliberately exploited. He demonstrates which maneuvers and approaches have proven particularly effective in practice—from sailing in reverse and clever line handling to tacking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
