Backing a twin engine Blackfin 332 into a slip with a strong cross tidal flow 

In our more advanced classes with talk a lot about putting the boat in the appropriate position when tide/wind conditions are strong. Here is a prime example of moving the stern to get the bow where you want it in a heavy tide. Generally it’s not about how you operate the boat or whether you have a joystick. A successful docking situation is all about the approach.
