🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of a right-hand propeller in ahead and astern propulsion • How transverse thrust (prop walk) acts on the ship’s stern when going astern • Which side-to landing lets you use astern power to bring the stern toward the pier rather than away from it

💭 Think About

• When you put a right-hand propeller astern, which way does the stern tend to move (to port or to starboard)? • For a side-to landing, do you want the natural propeller walk to push the stern toward the pier or away from it? • Looking at the direction of prop walk, which side-to (port or starboard) lets you land using minimal rudder and engine work?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear what right-hand propeller means: clockwise looking from astern, and recall its normal astern-side walk • Visualize the ship backing: note which quarter of the stern swings toward the pier in astern—this is the preferred side • Eliminate any options that do not take advantage of transverse thrust or that add unnecessary complexity (like anchoring) for a simple landing in no current
