Another configuration sometimes used is a joystick type control - where the rudders, engines, and bowthruster all act independently under computer control to move the ship where you want. Naturally, being one trained on twin screw CPP, I much prefer berthing via walking the ship using engines and BT!

The berth where this cartoon ship was parking, there is no hope of fitting 3 cruise ships there end to end. I remember Oasis of the seas used to tie up on that berth when we were there and that single ship hardly fitted on its own. Apart from that, great video.

I have still have a question, what if your ship only has one bow thruster and one screw configuration with one rudder on a small sailing boat? How is someone supposed to parallel park something with the same elegance as the examples you have given? Thanks big fan of your work!

@CasualNavigation 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks That Guy. Check out my video on Left Handed ships. I describe a little bit of single screw ship handling

@PanzerDave 4 жыл бұрын

While I haven't seen the video he suggests, there are things you can do that will work quite well. I have three sailboats and not one has a bow thruster. On the other hand you can use prop walk to help you dock. The best thing you can do is to practice. While I can't parallel park most of the time, I can dock it with no issues the vast majority of the time. As he mentions in this video, weather, and currents depending upon where you are docking may cause problems, in which case you may need the assistance of someone on the pier. Most of the time you don't need to parallel park. By the way, it is a well known rule that the more people are watching, the more something will go wrong! Good luck with your docking!

@alastairlord 4 жыл бұрын

We have a single screw boat with a bow thruster. To move (say) sideways to the left, first turn the rudder to full right. Give a squirt of forward throttle which, with the rudder set right will kick the stern to the left. At the same time apply bow thruster left to counteract the turning motion from the rudder. So now the boat is moving left. It’s also moving a little forward now, so then apply a squirt of reverse. No need to adjust the rudder (still full right) because it has almost no effect in reverse (see casual navigation video as to why). Repeat this cycle of forward/thruster/reverse to continue moving left. Presto! I find it easier than reverse parallel parking in my car!

@averagejoey2000 3 жыл бұрын

you can use "back and fill". alternate quickly between "right rudder astern engine" and "left rudder forward engine" or vice versa depending on which way you want to go, you use stored momentum from turning, switch gears, and turning the opposite direction cancels much of the momentum fore and aft, leaving you with a turning moment and some transverse force. you can pivot turn a single screw, it's just hard

As you get close to the dock you can throw a line and get your bow and stern cables attached. Then kedging or warping. Once even one is attached IMHO it can be used to pull or help offset some fore-aft movement.

The tug was almost sideways pulling it.

It's becoming kind of standard to have a bow thruster these days, but in the olden days you only had a single engine with fixed propellor and 1 rudder. Manouvring that into a berth is only possible by clever use of mooring lines during the manouvre.

@FreeSpiritsII 4 жыл бұрын

Hi @@martijnheil8825 I know just what you mean - a few months ago the bow thruster on our boat failed as we came in to moor at an overnight stop. Our boat has a single engine, a fixed prop and 1 rudder. I spent the evening boning up on the use of mooring lines to get in and out of berths in various situations without a thruster, and then spent the following day doing it for real as we made our way downstream on the Thames, through multiple locks toward our home berth. I was a sweaty mess by the end of the day, but also pleased to have managed the Old School techniques without smashing the boat to pieces. I am pleased to have the bow thruster back in operation, though secretly smug that I managed without it for a day!
