An Azimuthing Stern Drive (ASD) tug or towboat is a
high-performance vessel that is responsive, quick to maneuver and
extremely powerful. In the hands of a skilled operator maneuvering
these vessels looks effortless and seamless-smoothly spinning
around, nimbly shifting position, having pinpoint control, all
while the operator's hands move the control handles instinctively
and naturally. This book takes the reader through an efficient
learning sequence leading to that level of proficiency. Text,
illustrations and practice drills create a clear understanding of
ASD maneuvering principles and assist the reader in acquiring the
intuitive hands-on feel required to operate these vessels. Each
chapter covers a basic maneuvering element-steering, managing
speed, stopping, hovering, lateral movement-and their application
to light boat, barge and ship handling. This book is the first step
for a professional mariner adding a new competency to his or her
art of towing-driving a Z-drive.
