A nicely-produced video. However perhaps it should have been made clear that the technique shown to turn the boat through 180 degrees is NOT applicable to single-engined Inboard/outboard powered boats.
I also doubt if it's wise to reverse a boat towards a mooring buoy and put yet more rope into the water at the stern so close to a revolving prop - safer, surely, to do this over the side when alongside the buoy rather than at the stern
The video also doesn't show how to moor up single-handed!
