This video shows an introduction on the Pull-out Test-Manoeuvre and describes the procedure how to steer through this simple manoeuvre: Turning circle and then put the rudder amidships. The final rate of turn allows to identify stable and unstable conditions.

In the previous video ( https://youtu.be/1T3HRBDpKFw ) I went up to an inbound ship. This time, once she is fully loaded, I do the opposite way right after leaving port limits
