The team running the marina in Hout Bay Harbour can often be seen moving boats, its a slick piece of work and good practice.
Calm weather is required, the clubs twin outboard engined tender is tied along side the yacht in the center of the picture.
The yacht is from Saldahna, wonder what class of yacht she is?
The tender has now backed out and the dock lines are being sorted out.

A job well done and another day in the life of the Hout Bay Marina. The team have handled some much larger yachts in this manner, one was a steel yacht about 45feet long.

Alan, the HBYC club manager is in the tender, while Roy the marina forman is on the yachts helm.

Alan and the tender must now be released and the dock lines taken in.
Alan watches on as the dock guys take control.
