- Once the boat falls has been released and the boat is held on the painter push the tiller toward the ships side
- This action effectively gives the boat a SHEER
- Keep the painter taut until the boat reaches a point of maximum sheer
- Then briefly alter the position of the tiller so that the bow cants inwards towards the parent vessel
- The result of this action will be for the painter to become temporarily slack which will permit its easy slipping
- Push tiller towards the ship side again and gain sea room.
