LEARN TO BACK A BOAT INTO A SLIP - How to Dock | Gale Force Twins

Learn to dock your boat! In this video we show you how to back your boat up into a slip. Using a three point turn method to set your boat up followed by backing up doesn't have to be scary! The key to a perfect dock job is remembering which direction the current and wind will carry you and setting up just right! Once you're set up appropriately you can use one motor at a time to reverse your boat smoothly into your slip. Once your boat between all four pilings its time to focus on dock lines. In our situation (which is probably the same for most everyone) the spring line is the most important dock line to keep your transom off the concrete wall! Once the spring line is tied up we go through the rest of our dock lines and show you how and why we set up the way we do!

The two of you could run an incredible clinic on handling a boat. Love the way you explain things as you are doing the activity. Plus, the logic behind why you are doing it a particular way. Great job and keep up the superb videos.

Alright Gale Force instructors - today was my very first 'back into my slip' day! I watched this video like 20x and followed it as close as I could remember - it only took me 3 attempts and I only closed my eyes once... SUCCESS! No boat was harmed, sacrificed, threatened or bruised in the backing up of my boat...lol Thank you for the class!

Really enjoy your vids. 40 yr old dude here that’s been driving boats for years and still suck at docking. I learn a lot from your vids.

Might I suggest mentioning how you tie off your lines to account for the tides so your boat doesn’t get hung. That would be good info as well. Thanks!

This is actually the best boating instruction I've seen.

[TheManWhoSawTomorrow]

learned more in one week from these two ladies than I ever thought I would ever know

[joshmofosho]

Found this channel two days now I’m binge watching. I used to watch “livin the keys life” but they disappeared so I started searching videos about the Florida Keys and found you. Great job and fascinating material so far!

At almost 50 years old I'm looking into getting my first boat. This channel has been very informative and very helpful. Great job!

[jpbernie]

These young ladies seem to be living their best lives! Kudos!

[mikejohnson]

I really like the way you make your video's very family friendly and I think that makes it better to watch.

coming back to review and mentally prepare for some additional training i'm getting.

[danmurphy]

Awesome! My 6 yr old daughter was fascinated!

Great job ladies! You gained another sub here. Made my gf sit and watch your vid on docking in the canal. Told her you gotta watch these two girls. They're bad@$$!
Keep the tutorials coming. Please. Been on boats before I can remember, now 44 years later and I'm still learning.
Thank you ladies. You're mentor must be proud.

[FireflyAereids]

I've been coaching people to berth for a few years and all I wanna say is you two did a great job explaining how to back up a boat. Learnt a few things on how to explain some of the details in a better way too!! Awesome!!

[wishoeguy]

Great tutorial and great to see the difference in slips. I’m on Lake Michigan and my slip is the full length of my boat but there are no pilings or ropes with me and my neighbor. Thanks to your tutorial I realize I have too much dependency on my slip fenders so I’ll adjust. Thanks!

[arthurkane]

Well done!!
I love the fishing part.
Especially the Barracuda and marlin.
Talk sushi.
Yummy!!
Keep up the awesome videos.

Good stuff. With any serious wind I'd start the maneuver into the wind (i. e. In the first scenario go past the slip, turn away, and then reverse into the wind. Better control, you can use more speed.)

[stevesnellgrove]

Must respect 👍👍👍... my wife and I are watching in awe ....much success and new subscribers here, by the way you have gained !!!
