When a helicopter lands on a moving yacht, how come it doesn’t slide when it touches the yacht? How does it just lock on with the yacht?

To land with a moving yacht, the helicopter has to match the direction and speed of the yacht.
The pilot will make sure that the helicopter is moving in the same direction and with the same speed as the ship, because otherwise the landing area will move away from under the helicopter. The ship, meanwhile, will do its best to maintain the same heading and speed, so the helicopter doesn’t have to make too many adjustments while landing.
Does that answer your question?
