In this example there was a significant cross wind in the aisle, I wanted to use that breeze to help turn her nose into the berth, to blow the bow off slightly. In reversing down the aisle in the first place it meant my final approach to the berth would be swinging in to starboard with the breeze helping me turn towards the berth, I always like to do it that way as any sideslip you make in turning is helping you not hindering the manoeuvre and helps lay you onto the berth. If you came in bow first down the aisle and turned to port you have a greater chance of catching the end of the finger pontoon and any sideslip takes you away from the berth and into your neighbour! Always try and get as many factors, wind, tidal stream, prop kick/walk, approach turn etc in your favour when working out the best approach. Hope that helps.

When paying out line on a winch (as when trimming) one should always hold the turns onto the winch with the free hand. Doing it like the girl here when trimming the headsail would result in a jammed winch sooner or later.

Many thanks for your very valid comments, however when teaching someone new to sailing we do not teach “palming” as you describe because of the danger of getting fingers trapped in winches when one is learning. Certainly once the basics are learnt then teach palming to allow a smooth ease of a sheet. Thanks again.

just wondering why you had to reverse in towards the moorings, was it the sideways wind factor which would make a starboard turn easier?

Hi. Yes indeed. In this example their was a significant cross wind in the aisle, I wanted to use that breeze to help turn her nose into the berth, to blow the bow off slightly. In reversing down the aisle in the first place it meant my final approach to the berth would be swinging in to starboard with the breeze towards the berth, I always like to do it that way as any sideslip you make in turning is helping you not hindering the manoeuvre and helps lay you onto the berth.

The time to shout "Lee ho" is when the wheel is turned, not when the jib starts to move.

or "Lee oh".

Lee ho is the instruction for the crew to release the jib sheets and to re trim it on the new tack. Leaving it to the helm to decide this gives you the option of backing the headsail in light winds to get the bow over quicker. The wind then blows the sail across not the crew trying to pull it, which can stall the tack. You can say it straight after “wheel over” if circumstances dictate. It’s your call on the helm. Hope that helps.
