Build your confidence in any Berkeley Marina docking situation aboard vessels over 35 feet. This clinic will help you master the dynamics of prop walk, prop wash, boat speed and momentum. In addition to these skills, instructors will take students through the use of spring lines to make docking and departing in any condition simple and safe with only a skipper and crew. We will utilize a variety of slips and end ties to practice docking upwind, downwind, and across the wind as well as build confidence reversing under power. These are skills you can take with you anywhere in the world!
