Easy single-handed mooring: motoring up to a redirected stern line
🚤 Single-handed mooring made easy – my standard maneuver according to Duncan Wells
In this video, I show you my new standard single-handed mooring maneuver, which I adopted from Duncan Wells' book “Stress-Free Sailing.”
I demonstrate how the maneuver works in different situations – and why it has proven so successful for me as a solo sailor.
📖 I can recommend the book Stress-Free Sailing to anyone who sails alone or with a small crew.

Peaceful moments, quiet waters – just sailing as it is.
