littlesprite Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was taught by a sailor who called it tacking, are you now suggesting that a motor boat should operate differently ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 These videos don't help promote these best image of Broads boating but raise a chuckle as well as sense of wonderment .We had a lady do exactly that when she joined us on our boat ,could not grasp it ,yet was an excellent car driver ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It did make me giggle and cringe at the same time, the thought of that beautiful boat crashing into something does'nt bear thinking about, I believe they are our very own Skipper Jonzo's favourite boat, I think he would have kittens watching that lolGrace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nothing wrong with her steering, its the sat nav was wrong! She was only following the planned route. Wasn't she? Iain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 when we were up and around we were doing that a little for the first day, mind you so was the boat behind, until they got side on and hit the reed beds at ramming speed, they got a good way off the main river (just upstream from acle), but did manage to reverse off again.
