Then there's the "people watching rule"...which is; "the amount of difficulty encountered in a given maneuver is directly proportional to the number of people watching"... Ditto on the "throttle spin"...last Sunday I had to do it twice in the channel of our marina with people watching!

I'm far from a salty boat handling guy but I can turn Suhana in her boat length with no way on. I thought this was common practise. Lots of prop walk. No need to turn the wheel at all. All done with the throttle. I'm a big fan. Now, boat handling in tight conditions with the wind up - different story, not nearly as brave am I. Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
