I have been sailing all my life. Owner of motor and monohull boats. Sailing across mediterranean, atlantic, BVI (Anegada, etc) I chartered with my wife few years ago a monohull in Procida. When Julio came to our boat I thought: What he is doing trying to take my boat? Can't be so difficult come on. But then I saw the best hands on a rudder that I have ever seen. AMAZING

I have met this guy and I can assure you - the man is a legend. He has just jumped on that boat and has never seen it before. He owns the marina - his name is Julio. He insists on taking all the boats into the marina himself (Because he's seen so many people get in a mess). He will jump on anything from a 30 foot speed boat to a 120 foot mega yacht. He'll back a sailing yacht around at almost full throttle and back it into a slip perfectly like he's lived on the boat all his life. He jumps from boat to boat all day long. He's also a super nice guy.

120 feet is not a mega yacht. he drives way to fast and if he is a legend its not a good thing. he bounced off boats as he moved, and you worship him.

Ormeggiori are amazing, I had the pleasure of witnessing their work about 5 years ago (2015 or 2016) docking our rented 55' Bavaria, with similar apparent ease and confidence almost everywhere we went. Julio parked us three slots further to Port of where this one went in - with the outer berths occupied! - and while our boat had a bow thruster, he didn't touch it even once; all was done with skill and just the bare minimum of perfectly-timed throttle blips, using prop walk/wash in an impressive display of what practice can do for all of us. My hat remains duly doffed to them, and to Julio in particular; and to anyone scoffing, belittling or disbelieving, I would recommend you pop down there as soon as you can, witness true skill in action, and get used to the taste of humble pie.

He definetely knows what he is doing and he can move a boat in a way nobody else, which I know, can do. And its definetely better so, because the situation in Amalfi is even tighter than showing in the video and there is a dangerous rock underwater.

The fact that a modern mono hull sailing yacht rotates so easily around the axis and propellor walk is not a familiar to many inexperienced yachtsmen is the reason why so many of them have a hard time docking a yacht. If you been around the docks a lot you can always observe helmsmen who are surprised their yacht in not moving in the direction parallel to yacht center line.

at about 1min he throws it in reverse to stop it, the spurt at 1.05 is probably the wash from that. if i had bow thrusters i would not have pushed the nose right, yes it gets the boat parallel but its not getting you any closer to the boat he wanted to more against. If anything i would have put a small nose left input in a long with the full right rudder nudge of forward he did at around the same time.
@JensGraikowski
10 жыл бұрын
I'm sorry Adrian Chapmanlaw, but I don't believe this is an after effect of the reverse move. Even if the spurt of the props would travel all the way to the bow it wouldn't exit in a right angle to the boat as this one definitely does. I'd bet my life insurance on it that it is a bow thruster. His bow was already pretty close to the boat he wanted to more against. He didn't need to get any closer. Of course I could be wrong, but it looks to me that the bow actually did get pushed to starboard which would confirm my theory. No, Dan Brookes. Port bow. Port is on the left and the bow at the front. The rudder on the other hand is usually at the stern (rear end) of the boat. 😉
