[PUP] Top five passagemakers

[Scott Bulger]

Dave asked:  

How do you walk the boat sideways without twin rudders in the slip stream?

If I told you, I'd have to shoot you  :^)

Just like back and fill if you asymmetrically apply thrust there is a moment
of pulling or pushing the stern in one direction or another.  The trick is
to learn your boat and how to make use of it's unique handling traits to
make it do what you want.  It may not move sideways, but I assure you the
stern will move in one direction or another and then you apply what ever
directional component you want.  The presence of the rudder in the
slipstream is helpful, but not necessary.  I know very few twin skippers
that touch the wheel when close quarter maneuvering.  It's not better or
worse, just different.

IMHO!
