Room for one more!

I doubt very much that boat weighs any where near 15 tons.

It was a good manouver, but nothing exceptional

 

[whisper]

It would have been exceptional if I'd done it!!

 

[vas]

some stern thruster action there I suppose?
Would like to see this manouvre without it though.

@whisper: +1
All happened too quickly for my liking, probably would have bumped on something around me

 

[Whitelighter]

No stern thruster, he just used the prop walk

 

[rafiki_]

Yes, nice job. bit of prop walk and a bit more "right hand down a bit".

Bow thruster?

At 1.06 on the video there is a white splash on the port bow looks like a bow thruster is being used to me.

 

[Ripster]

Sail drive at the stern? Still a nice job though.

At 0.07 when he is coming in you can hear a bow thruster for a couple of seconds...

You are a sad lot. It was excellent helming thrusters or not. I for one would have been very happy with that outcome.

+1 And yes I am.....

Still room for at least one more though!

Still room for at least one more though!

His twin was just coming up behind him i thought it was a great maneuver with or without stern/bow thrusters (i thought he has stern thrusters too)

 

[Csail]

Isn't that just how we all do it? Nothing tricky about that.

Bowthruster 1:07

 

[jfm]

There was definitely bowthruster at 1.07, as Harry25 says, and not sternthruster. The wake on the starboard quarter also at 1.07 was just the prop and anyway there is no room in a Benjen 46 to fit a sternthruster unless you want it hanging down permanently which I doubt any sailor would

It was very good but not perfect, bearing in mind there was no breeze. All imho of course. To get 10/10 he would have had to pass by the camera boat more slowly, so as to be more graceful and not make others worried. He also caught the little tender on the jetty but no harm done

I don't see anything other than a pretty straight forward maneouver with no wind. Nice sunny scene as eye candy. Nicely executed, but ordinary.
