explained in Six easy steps
When you use MoorControl with our instructions you won't drift away like the video
1
In the video the boat starts close
Approach the berth slowly, aiming for the begining of the berth instead of the end of the berth
In stronger breezes this now allows you to reduce speed and increase approach angle into the wind
You do not need to stop to pick up and secure the MoorControl™ Moving Mooring Line™
2
In the video the wind pushes the boat away
Use a standard boat hook pick up the MoorControl™ Moving Mooring Line™ (this is made easy with our special line collar and instructions)
If the line is missed, at this point you can still back out safely and try again
What happens if you miss your lines the way you do it now?
3
And Further Away - Until - MoorControl™ Takes over
Secure the MoorControl™ Moving Mooring Line™ to a side cleat or bollard
Steer Away from the berth to control the position of your stern, (how much depends on your boat and the wind)
4
You have control - We could have easily pulled tighter on the line and brought the boat closer
But we didn't need to
Apply just enough propeller revolutions (and steering) to move your boat into the berth and keep the stern in against the wind
When it comes to berthing speed - Less is Best
5
You "steer around" the pivot point created by the MoorControl as it slides forward
You no longer need to worry about the bow swinging out, the forward part of your boat is held from drifting sideways by the MoorControl Moving Mooring Line™
You must still watch for the end of the berth and any obstructions
6
No rush for your deckhand - Everything is done more smoothly - more steadily - more easily - with MoorControl
Now you only need to pick up and secure a stern line. Instead of having to try and get two lines picked up and secured. A manoeuvring 'spring' does nothing to control sideways movement - until it is under strain at full length -why risk the danger of a sudden take up on a spring!
