This is an advanced method for experienced sailors only. If you screw it up you can hurt yourself. Take care. The blog post outlines some of the risk areas.

00:00 Intro
00:28 The Set-Up  - which method you need to secure your bow and stern lines.
02:41 The Approach - finding the slowest speed that still gives you steerage.
03:48. Securing - going into reverse when about half a boat-length from your final desired position, having the boat inch forward, securing your stern line, locking it off, going into gentle forward, securing your spring, then walking forward and securing your bowline.
05:00 Finessing - not really covered in this demonstration as there are so many different methods here. This method is about bringing your boat alongside and making it secure.

We hope you get something out of this and look forward to your comments.
