Anyone good at 'crabbing' the boat?


Hey all, So I just learned what 'crabbing' the boat does. It is pretty cool to move your boat total sideways.

I, btw, could not get it to work in 20 knot winds, I just pushed the boat forward. For those who don't know what I am talking about (I just learned this)...I will briefly give a description, though it may be not so good. Crabbing will move your boat totally sideways with no forward or reverse direction. Lets say you want to crab to your port side, Put the port gear in reverse Put the starboard gear in forward Turn the steering wheel to the starboard
