CP09 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Helmsman put the helm over to turn to starboard (the right looking at the front of the ship)... However, a ship (or any boat with a rudder) - will always "run wide" - in this case, the bow turns to starboard, and the stern swings to port. Basically, the ship will pivot about the centre. Put it down to helmsman training - possibly (from RYA instructors' facebook) the bridge is quite far forward, so it isn't as obvious as normal what's happening behond!

Geoffers Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Maybe it should have had more than a single tug. Look at the lowline - you can see the tug is being pulled along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I agree this was down to tugs,,either not connected or more was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
