\"\"<\/a>Hello Boaters,<\/p>\n

We now have the capability to add new dock configurations, so send your new dock sketches to theboatdocker@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Currently, there are nine configurations:<\/p>\n

Standard Dock Configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the original dock configuration.<\/p>\n

Man Overboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

This configuration was proposed by Kevin who said, “take out the docks and provide a\u00a0marker indicating the location where a victim might have gone overboard.\u00a0 Open ocean is the idea.\u00a0A victim would not move with the current which is exactly what we would want to teach.\u00a0 We would want the boat to provide a lee for the victim in the water and let the boat drift up on the victim, taking advantage of the existing wind and current.\u00a0 We could run Williamson and Anderson Turn scenarios and also practice retrieving water skiers. “<\/p>\n

Mooring Buoys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to J.T.’s comments, we have added a new dock configuration including Mooring Buoys.<\/p>\n

North-Facing and South-Facing Dock Configurations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to Captain Dirk’s comments,\u00a0\u00a0we created a mostly north-facing and south-facing dock configuration so that the orientation of the captain and the controls is consistent with the orientation of the boat.<\/p>\n

Moving Boat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to Alexander’s comments, we created three moving boat options where a boat traverses the screen from right to left (at three different speeds) and does not stop for anyone or anything.<\/p>\n

Fishing<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>This configuration was proposed by John who asked for a modification to the Man Overboard that would “Simulate backing down on a fish.”\u00a0 The fish moves quite a bit faster than the Man Overboard, otherwise it operates the same.<\/p>\n

Click on the water to move the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n
