Thanks for posting the YouTube instructions. ?The timing was perfect, as I spent a good deal of time on a windless day yesterday, practicing backing into my slip. Going forward is much more satisfactory!

Common problem, practice it will get easier . Backing into a slip is even harder. It¡¯s a great sailing boat however. All the best , Hull 700.

We bought our Tartan this past summer, and have observed that it is nearly impossible to steer the boat with the tiller when backing out of the slip. I was wondering if this is a common problem with this boat, and if anyone has a solution.
Thanks,
Howard
