Center chamber is where you are held in place with four lines. Rafted is where you tie alongside another vessel, typically a tug. Third position is\u00a0alongside the canal wall. Of the three, the latter is rarely used as it makes a mess of your topsides and\/or fenders.\u00a0 But <em>Cochise<\/em> chose the side-tie method because she could use a combination of counter-rotating props and opposing rudder deflection to create side thrust, thus\u00a0keeping the topsides well clear of the canal sidewalls.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the following video, we&#8217;ll take you on a tour of the canal, as well as demonstrating our line handling and engine\/rudder technique.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JcrMZ5wYdfU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch FPB 78-1 Cochise transit the Panama Canal, using a unique side thrusting technique to keep the fenders clean&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":43171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,180,247,248],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dashew-blog","category-fpb-78","category-fpb-78-videos","category-logs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43170"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43170"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43182,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43170\/revisions\/43182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
