Docking made easy with Marco Coda - Demystifying the art of docking By far the activity that most strikes fear into the hearts of sailors - docking at a public dock chock full of sailors perched on their deck chairs to critique your performance. Wouldn't you love to dock under perfect control while your crew steps slowly and gracefully off the boat? The Docking Strategies Seminar is for both new and seasoned sailors. The seminar covers: * How different forces and factors affect the maneuvering of your boat – and how they can work for you or against you * How to use these factors to your advantage * How to prepare for your arrival at the dock * How to choose your approach strategically based on your specific situation The seminar is provided by Marco Coda, Sail Canada Instructor Evaluator and owner of Carpe Diem Sail Training. Marco recently developed a Docking Made Easy online course. He'll be using images and video from the course to demonstrate docking principles and strategies.
