    He was practicing the "docking by braille" technique. Either that or he thought yachts had 5 mph bumpers like cars have.

    I fail to see what's impressive in this maneuver, he had plenty of room and brought it in with the grinder anyway.

    Pascal it was a good maneuver. Might not have been the most impressive we have seen thus far but it was good none-the-less.

    Did you happen to notice the wack he gave the piling on his stbd. corner just before the end. A 'pretty' boat would be calling for a fiberglass repair guy.

    Hi,

    I think it's called Bareboat Chartering or DUI - Maybe both

    It's hard to understand, but I don't heard anything about a malfunction.

    No hint in the comments.

    Most likely a short between the brain and the hands. Since there was a car involved do you think it will be handled through 'No-Fault'?
