Recommendations on mooring.
Before entering a marina, you must prepare, that means that you must hang fenders, you have to prepare your mooring lines, you have to discuss everything with your crew: who is at the tiller, who is holding the boat, what actions each member should do, you should discuss it, you should make a plan, you do not just enter the marina, but you enter already after you have prepared and with a plan.
This is very important, 'cause if you go there, for example, and you have mooring lines lying somewhere in the locker, you have not hung the fenders, you have no plan, you are not ready to moor, you need to turn back, make circles and prepare.
If you forgot something, for example, due to inexperience, you forgot to hang the fenders or forgot to get the boat hook, forgot to tie the mooring lines, it's okay, the main thing is that you discovered this in time, make a circle around the marina or along the marina and return when you are already prepared.
That's it, one person prepared everything, the second person made some circles and so on.
As for the mooring lines, you need the following options – you will need two mooring lines of approximately 3 meters or maybe 4.
You need them if you dock with the bow, you fix in on the bow cleats, so these mooring lines go to our bow.
Next, you will need 2 mooring lines around 20-25 meters, approximately like this, maybe 15-20 meters – this is the medium size, these mooring lines can be also used as springs.
You also need long mooring lines of 50 meters each, they are needed mostly for Scandinavia, there are places where you need really long mooring lines, because a buoy stands somewhere far away or something else.
Of course, if you sail in tidal zones, then you may need some more ropes for the springs.
For example, if you face some kind of situation when you need to make you anchor rope longer, you can use these mooring lines, I mean, if you have 2 small, 2 2 middle and 2 long mooring lines, then this is a completely universal kit, which is enough, in my opinion, in almost all cases.
If you came to the place and something is not too smooth, that's not a big deal, just stop, think for 5-10 seconds, don't turn full speed astern or full speed ahead, any sudden moves lead to some unpleasant consequences.
You can scratch someone or something like that.
If you act slowly, little by little, then nothing terrible can happen, and be sure to look around to see what is happening, what you are doing.
When, for example, you observe one picture, for example, the front one, something completely different is happening behind.
You look so as not to hit somebody in front of you, but you hit somebody from the stern, so you need to keep your focus at 360 degrees.
