Docking a Selene 60 for the First Time

In the video below, follow along as Selene Americas Technical Director Dylan Hildebrand walks Arina through the trawler pre-check, start-up and docking process.

With Dylan's help, Arina shows us the proper checks (gear shifter, thrusters, and steering) before setting off for a quick cruise around Roche Harbor, WA. She then demonstrates just how easy it is to both handle and dock a 60+ foot trawler yacht. And stick around at the end to hear Arina's first-hand impressions of docking a boat for the first time.

Other topics in the video include:

• How steering and stopping boats differs from cars
• How sharply large trawlers can turnImportance of visibility from the flybridge
• Testing everything prior to departing the dock
• Using the bow and stern thrusters to turn and dock
• Proper way to tie the line on a dock cleat
