FLEET CONFIGURATION

Deck 17

A compact deck-boat model for practicing a deliberate final approach.

What to practice

Compare this configuration with Utility 17 in the same scene. Similar length does not imply identical coefficients or an identical path after the same input.

What the model includes

The model uses a 5.18 m length, 2.29 m beam and estimated operating mass of 1,100 kg. Its draft and low-speed hydrodynamic response are estimates. The simulated propulsion remains a single outboard.

A focused comparison

Use Starboard-side alongside, then review your first sustained neutral period. Record whether you were still correcting the angle after you began the final approach. Change one input decision on your next attempt.

YOUR NEXT ATTEMPT

More noticing.
