Hi Liz,
At the risk of over-simplifying things, Melody & I use a wireless
system that was developed long ago (when we had the 60' cutter).
Hand signals. It only takes a few for the skipper to have complete
control of the boat, with a good helmsman.
On Sweet, we still use this system for anchoring. For docking
maneuvers, we are both in the cockpit until the approach, where
everything has been discussed (it is assumed) quietly. I step up near
the shrouds with bow and mid spring and step on dock when alongside,
she comes from the helm with the stern line if need be. Or I wander
back after temporarily hitching the bow & mid lines and retrieve it
form her. Then tidy up the lines.
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

Looking for input and suggestions regarding these and other wireless
headsets for communicating while docking, sailing.
These are quite unique but also quite expensive...$179.00 ea.
Any input or personal choice and experience appreciated.
Best Regards
