Doug
Dawson’s e-Lessons focus on the easy and safe way to securely lower and set anchors and raise them. Anchoring
should not be stressful or dangerous. It should be understood, safe and easy.
Tips for
launching and retrieving your power boat are contained in these e-lessons.
Don't be Launch Ramp Entertainment. Whether you are launching or hauling any size
boat at a ramp, you don't want to be the entertainment. Learn how to launch your boat like a Pro.
Doug teaches you how marina staff and pros ramp--easily. And, how to keep your
feet dry!
Techniques for securely tying your boat.
Dock lines don't have to ressemble a spider's web. Doug simplifies boat tying with
one setup that secures your boat for most situations.
These e-Lessons also covers tying to a high wharf, to pilings in a shared slip
plus how to raft for safer entertaining.
Docking a twin engine inboard boat.
Docking a twin inboard is the easiest of all drive systems and most people
graduate to twins during their later years in a yacht.
Doug shares his "giant
tip" in this e-Lesson, so you’ll dock your yacht like a professional
captain.
Plus, you'll save your First Mate from attempting to imitate the bionic
woman.
Docking twin outboards.
Docking twins is not twice as easy! Without being shown how, it can be more than
twice as difficult with four levers.
Doug shares the "single
trick" for mastering some twins, while others are far easier using
his "arc method".
These e-lessons will teach you both systems and on which boat each works best.
This will simplify docking a Twin Outboard.
Docking
a single inboard.
Docking a single inboard on a ski boat for example, is how Doug started docking
back in the 1950’s.
There are some idiosyncrasies you must be taught first; or you’ll never get
docked, because they will fight you every time.
Doug shares the "magic". This e-lesson shows you how to figure
out these idiosyncrasies and use them to your advantage.
Docking a single outboard.
Docking the most popular drive systems are, as it turns out, the most difficult.
Without learning the key to reverse, you could spend summers figuring out why your boat does not behave, as you
expect.
Doug reveals the "key", you need to know to dock your Single Outboard
like a pro.
Docking your Sailboat.
Sailboats are equipped with huge rudders, deep keels, little propellers and a
unique shape that makes docking totally different than docking any power boat.
Doug teaches sailors the easy way to "sneak up" on their dock, step off and take a
bow.
The better way to Dock, Ramp and Tie your Power
Boat.
