LondonRascal Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yep, only in America! Don't let yourself think too much about engines and gear boxes will you, but this could be a new event at say, Ranworth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUE6vRUXmzc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 good grief, how useless were all of them? have they never been to a working Broads boatyard where we do the same with single engine boats and proper knots?! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddfellow Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So this is a contest to see how quickly you can moor a boat stern on in a space that's plenty big enough with twin engines and no other vessels to contend with. I'm with Clive on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Total numpties, no regard for other traffic or their own safety. Typical American or just the worst of them. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Most of them are single engine boats, the US often prefers separate controls for throttle and gears. Or what's left of the gears after treating them like that anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Don't know what all the fuss is about, you clearly have never seen me do a stern on mooring Grace Or me, Grace, in an early home built (by me) motor boat when the throttle bowden cable jammed in reverse! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
