CLOSE-QUARTER TURNS
Executing a close-quarter turn:
1. Check your headway.
2. Shift one engine into reverse while shifting the other into forward gear. As you advance the throttles, the opposing
forces cause the yacht to pivot about a point centered between the propellers.
3. Turn the rudders in the direction of the turn to assist the rate of turn.
