Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival 2024

Docking with dynamic springlines has become a lost art - with tragic results in marinas all around the world, not the least in the Pacific Northwest. Captain Phyllis Woolwine is leading a charge to bring these powerful skills & strategies back. Captain Wooly specializes in training boaters of all types to use springlines for maximum safety and control of their boat leaving and returning to the dock - every time, in any conditions, with just two people. This seminar introduces the physics of the core springline strategy we apply on all boats, every time, for full control, no matter the boat type or scenario. Other springline strategies will be introduced for getting in and out of challenging situations.
