4.2.7 Navigating instructions

When driving forward, the boat could list to starboard on the left. This is a
typical feature of "V" hulls, therefore no intervention is required. Just correct
the listing by moving slightly the helm, until the right direction is obtained.
Remember that all boats steer by the stern. This means that the stern of
your boat will swing in the direction opposite to your turn. For example,
when you turn your helm wheel to the left, the stern of the boat will swing to
the right, and viceversa.

This is especially important to keep in mind when docking, when operating
in close quarters with other boats, or when approaching someone in the
water. If the boat has two engines, it is possible to run one engine in
forward gear and one engine in reverse, so as to perform a rapid U-turn.
