More model informationAn avoidance turn is used when the boat operator sees an object or other hazard in the water dead ahead and must take action to miss this object. This action allows the boat to miss the object thus preventing a collision from occurring.
This maneuver is a series of turns that prevents the boat from hitting the object by moving the hull away from the object. We must remember that when we turn the boat, the pivot point is forward and the stern swings away from the direction of the turn. The action of this first turn away from the object will steer the bow away, but will swing the stern towards the object.
