Of there is more than one boat attached to the bridle one has to be careful when a boat leaves. The remaining line will get some slack. Other than that: good idea. Thanks.

bravo komşu 👍

Hi Alex, thanks for the instroduction! Great video! I think I will rent a catamaran next time in Greece for sure! Please make that video about saving MOB. Thank you !

Την ιστορια αυτη τη ξερω. Καλα απο τον πατερα μου που απο το καταμπουρνακι μεχρι τη ναρκη ητανε μαζι με. Τον τουμπα... Ξερω πολλες. Λεπτομερειες... Διαβασα πολλες. Φορες το. Βιβλιο... Ο νασταθμοος σαλαμινος υπαρχει. Χαριν του τουμπα....μια. Προτομη δεν. Του εκαναν.. Κριμα.

Not long ago I had a connectivity problem with my windlass, so yes being able to weigh anchor by hand can be helpful. I would suggest that wearing gloves is a good option; here you have a new, clean chain but in real life the chain could be slippery or even have sharp bits/shells embedded. Just my 2 cents.

Sailor's crossfit!

great video once again!! i have a question to learn before i do this first time. In case the wind rotates, the boat would be not doing so because of the front anchor and back lines right? would it be unsafe or, as it usually should rotate with the wind as well. thanks for the explanation in advance, i hope i could make myself clear.

ΜΠΡΆΒΟ!!! Πάρα πολύ λεπτομέρια στις περιγραφές σου!!! Πολύ σωστά πρέπει να είσαι προετοιμασμένος για το οποιοδήποτε δέσιμο πρόκειται να κάνεις, αν είσαι σωστά προετοιμασμένος πιθανότατα δε θα αντιμετωπίσεις στρες, αν δεν προετοιμαστείς σωστά, στη παραμικρή αλλαγή πρόγνωσης κατάστασης θα έχεις πρόβλημα!! Δε θέλει στρες, και για αυτό ευθύνεται η προετοιμασία, αν στρεσαρηστεις δε θα τα καταφέρεις!! πρέπει να βγεις και να ξαναμπείς με το πάσο σου όσο καιρό και να έχει!!! πρώτη φορά σε βλέπω, πολύ κόσμος σε δύσκολο αέρα έχει προσπαθήσει από το ντόκο να με καθοδηγήσει και πάνω από το 50% κάνουν λάθος συμβουλές!! Δυστυχώς αναγκάστηκα στο παρελθόν και τα έμαθα αυτά μόνος μου παρόλο που προσπάθησα να μάθω από ειδικούς( ευτυχώς ήμουν τυχερός, έμαθα γρήγορα γιατί είχα αγάπη, το έκανα καθημερινά και το χειμώνα και ευτυχώς δεν έκανα ζημιές στη προσπάθειά μου!!!) Μπράβο!!! είναι δύσκολο κάποιος να καταλάβει από το βίντεο όλες αυτές τις διαφορετικές καταστάσεις που περιγράφεις, πρέπει να το προσπαθήσει! Ίσως κάποια μέρα να σε γνωρίσω.

That was fabulous, your words are so true, I think fear and ego are the two greatest demons humans have not only in sailing but in life in general and its amazing how putting it in neutral, centering the rudder and breathing instead of panicking, screaming and making extreme corrections and counter corrections can make things right. Thanks for your expertise and sharp eye! Cheers!

What I learned: Put it on the clit immediately. My wife thanks you.

The captain of this boat had plenty of time and space to pick up the lines and tie them off to the stern cleats, add forward to settle the boat then pick up the mooring line via the lazy jacks. That he couldn’t given all this time and space means he shouldn’t have been captaining that boat. Great video/commentary. Painful to watch. Great learning example!

As a solo sailor I find it much easier to dock in a tight berth than in a wide one, because the difficult part of docking is not getting into the spot but how the ship drifts while you are trying to secure it with the lines.

Great video, nice shooting from above! As someone who had his fair share of docking failures I can appreciate the stress on the captain and the crew. They shouldn't have let go of the windward stern line and the helmsman should never have left his place. It looks like he could have controlled the boat with just the windward line and the main engine in forward.

Thanks, nice demonstration

genial...gracias

Nice to see this done, have read about it a few times but the visual helps. As a holiday sailor tangled anchors is a scenario I often worry about, not happen yet but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

I love your channel, and have a lot of respect for your experience and willingness to share the knowledge. Keep the good work!

Excellent video, thank you

Don't care, you do very good showing your skilss

So true! Always choose the easiest and safest way to do things, especially if single handed!

There's a saying in aviation by Frank Borman, "A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skills." I found that that always applies to boating as well and that's exactly the mentality a sailor needs to have to have a great day on the water! Thanks for doubling down on your teachings, an easy maneuver is always a well planned maneuver!

True in every sense of the word. Could not agree more.

I really enjoy your instruction. You're a calm voice of reason.

Another video where the berth has enough space for 2 boats.

Great Video, nice and smooth approach! It definitely isn’t a fail to abort and reposition yourself - unfortunately you often see forced and target fixed maneuvers, which then go wrong… But please show me a single handed docking with a center cockpit and the stern and cleats 4m away with a dinghy on Davits at the stern! Any idea?

interesting that the boat already there did not have fenders.

Immer eine Hand fürs Boot, meaning in German that you should always have one hand on the boat, so that you are safe and won't fall into the water. Maybe that's the mistake you were referring to?

Always something good to learn from your videos and explanations! Thanks!

With the wind from 90° to the final parking position everything is possible.. i was in a similar Situation in the Marina of cres this autumn. As long as my back was in the wind (20 kn even in the marina) all was fine, but when i turned the wheel to the parking position, the prow just would not turn, even though i steered correctly. I was blown alongside the peer... only with a thrown aft line and luckily MUCH space in the dock, i could turn the bow.. no one should speak smart, who has not come into these Situations.

In my 42' monohull sailboat without a bow thruster, if the wind is in line with the channel, ie perpendicular to the slip, I find it better to have my bow into the wind to backing into the slip. The advantage for me like this is that as I turn into the slip, and slow somewhat to avoid too much speed, the wind brings the bow around into alignment with slip, as though I have a bow thruster. If I have the stern into the wind backing down the channel, I find that the strong crosswind prevents the bow from coming around into alignment. I do have large single rudder so steering in reverse and good prop wash over the rudder in forward provides good control. However, when holding in place in a wind, I do still keep the stern into the wind as that provides the most control. All that being said, I don't have a lot of experience backing into slips here in New England but so far I have had more success with this method.

More videos like this please

Great demonstration. Having a plan already in place prior to the approach is a must and then make the preparations accordingly. Also having a plan to abort safely should also be done. The plans should be well communicating when others are helping.

Here is the original video ruclips.net/video/xP_z51Ia2eg/видео.htmlsi=iz99nAMUCfkxXeez

lot to learn from such events and thanks for explanation, Alexander

Why don't you show the whole maneuver from the beginning to the end without interruption?

I'm not sure I believe there was no damage... At 2:59 our boat hits the boat to starboard and stops immediately. that doesn't usually happen with no damage. Yes, I know there is a push boat somewhere in there, that may have come between the two boats, but we don't know if he was there in the bow when our boat collided with the other or not. I say damage happened. even with the help of the marina push boat.

thank you! good point with the body position

Jesus if the bloke from the marina had been down 30 seconds earlier to catch the first line this wouldnt have happwned skippe r must have radioed for assistance !! looks like a shit marina and they are probably charging 100 euros an evening

Does Greek single handed mooring translate to 2 crew and a skipper !!! Only kiiding great stuff love it X

Here there are at least seven people working to dock a boat, if they had gone in with the bow first, two or 3 people would have been enough and no escort boat

Some insurers require rigging to be renewed every 10 years. Others may extend this time subject to inspection by a qualified rigger. But we often see boats with rigging much older, sometimes original from 30 years ago. Would insurance pay out if such a boat was lost due to rigging failure? I don’t think so!

Beer🍺🍺🍺

how about capsizing?

what an absolute shitshow, I'm getting my sailing licence this year (hopefully) and this stuff is terrifing

so, I'm not an english speaker, however 14:43 they are pushing against that metal wire that goes along the ship to prevent people from falling.... that thing is all bendy it's not supposed to carry any load! Do not push it! Just hit the boat that's a better thing to do

Interesting technique. I am having trouble understanding how putting the rudder to port is moving the bow to starboard.

Thx for your great comments especially at the end of the video when you describe how to deal better with stressful situations. I found the FOR-DEC tool in a sailing book a few years ago. It is a method from aviation. Pilots are trained to use this tool for emergency situations. The main purpose is to think clearly and not to act mindlessly. 1. what are the facts? - I’m in an anchor chain of another boat 2. What are my options? Do I have to lose this problem = yes. How can I lose this problem. Who I can ask for help from outside etc. 3. What are the risks & benefits? Analysing the options 4. Stop - wait some seconds and analyse the situation a second time 5. Make a decision 6. Execute the decision - who is responsible for what on the boat 7. Check and control. If the plan works = great, if not start with point 1 again… what are the new facts… and so on.
