I've been sailing my whole life and have been a charter boat captain for 15 years (mostly sail) . The two big questions I get are how a boat moves and the rules. How a boat moves I send them the "Physics of sailing" video by KQED. Yours is now my new go to video for the rules. Very well done and entertaining. Thank you
I think you are genius level intellect. Truly transformative coaching to a situation that can become complicated, especially during duress. When people panic, lizard brain takes over. Really smart people can explain in great detail. Geniuses can explain it simply. You might have saved someone's life with this video.
thank you for this, im from Australian and never touched a boat untill a little over a year ago. im crew on a rescue vessel (think volunteer coast guard) and i have started all my theory on my masters licence. it may be a basic video but it has cemented the basics into my head (i get the joy of needing to understand all off the colregs inside and out lol)
Your video is amazing. I have been a captain for 15 years and often think through two or three different regulations to decide who should hold and stand. Your explanation sums it up with surprising simplicity. Thank you, Thank you
Awesome sauce + 42. As a sailor who had plied the St Lucie inlet / Manatee Pocket on three day weekends, I can say this is a well needed video for many.... many boaters.
I’m pretty solid on the rules except for which sailboat is the stand on. Could never get this locked into my brain. “Maneuverability” was the key. Brilliant. Thank you.
oooooooooh my good goodness you are the best! You are always so delightful and entertaining to watch, Cap'n Boomietown! What a solid boil-down to 2 rules--so good! Love, love LOOOOVE it!
It is amazing and being a professional myself I see so many boaters that have ZERO clue about any of this. It drives me nuts. But also you added a couple details I don't know about so thanks for the history lesson and the awesome videos...
Hey Boomies! I do a lot of sailing instruction to couples where it's obvious one side of the couple is not soaking up all the nautical terms and concepts at the other side and I'm totally going to use your examples and descriptions for nautical stuff. I so like your attitude and approach. Capt. Dougie.
Thanks, Captain! Teaching this stuff is hard and everyone needs to hear things a few different ways before they get it. Glad I could help. Now, can you teach me how to Dougie? 🎶🎵🎶
It is so helpful to understand WHY. Once you understand why a rule is what it is, you do not need to remember the rule. the correct course of action if obvious. The rules all revolve around maneuverability and visibility. It is the same with aircraft. Balloon give way to no one. Helicopters give way to everyone. Thanks
Once again education with some humor. That's the best kind. Great job. Sending to my wife and sharing to the upper chesapeake sailing group. You forgot to mention even if you avoid the collision your still responsible for your wake that your probably creating . 😁
I'll make a whole video about wake. Hahahaha... And thanks for posting to the group. I'm so impressed by the sailors in there, I'm sure they all know this stuff!!
Stear-board! Never heard that before thanks for making that point. And thanks for explaining why all boats are made in England and drive on the wrong side of the road!
Nice. We have a seaplane take off and landing zone - inside there boats have to give way to seaplanes as they are taking off or getting ready to take off, or landing
The best memories come with the best stories, and You, Captain, have the best stories on these matters. I will quote you on all my training missions from here on. Also how about “larboard” which I use for those having problems with remembering “port” - any history on that?
WELL explained - love that you pulled in the "in the end everybody is responsible" took that class decades ago, and that one line stuck with me from the instructor (and the regs) He explained it as while they made rules, in the end, nobody owning a ship wanted it damaged, even if it had the right of way.. therefore the common sense clause.. "dude if all else fails its your job to avoid collision regardless" That said - I daily see sailboats trying to pull rank on freighters.. and demanding paddleboarders get out of their way.. SIGH. common sense is not that common at all. Subscribed. PS.. in Danish - bagbord, backboard, port.. directly translated back-board or probably the helms-mans backside.. don't overestimate Olaf's ability to see with his backside.
So, former submarine officer. Never had a great grasp of the order of precedence of the colregs, cause we were *always* the give way vessel (outside of like 2 minutes spent on the surface).
@@CaptainBoomies my teenage boys will see your swear words and raise them… haha! Don’t worry, it’s the parents responsibility to vet the content. Which I do :)
It was wonderful. Here is what I do with our pontoon boat at our local lake. I avoid EVERYONE. Since they think they are correct in no matter what they do I just stay away. Sail on...
You left out light houses - they are the bottom of the maneuverability chain (and fishing boats with nets in) - just being a tool now. Your videos are my new sailing crack.
You should add an explanation as to WHY... there are red and green lights ..that ties into stand on and give way... If you see the other vessel’s red light it means you must slow down or maneuver to avoid a collision. The other vessel should make no course or speed change. If you see the other vessel’s green light you maintain course and speed and the other vessel must avoid hitting your vessel.
I once had someone tell me that they only knew their rules of the road at night because of the lights... that stressed me out a bit, but I realized how helpful those lights are!
Ill stick to my kayak bayside. Open ocean is like jumping into mother natures bustline. It looks wonderful but you will get lost and suffocate very easily.
I've never seen a submarine with its AIS on, but I know they have it. As for radar, the ships radar is only looking above the surface, and cannot see below the water... unless you have one of those really badass fish-finder sonar things!!! It would be pretty neat to float over a submarine with one of those.
I think you're the best kind of idiot a smart and goofy one. Lol. Thanks for a more entertaining way of learning than many other videos that make me feel like I'm in human resources training for a new 9-5 job. Yuck. 😂 liked and subscribed!
Hey sailboat folk, don't forget if your engine is on, you are a motor vessel. Even if you and your handheld squeaker horn give five short to the cargo ship...
I guess most motor boats in Miami are considered less maneuverable and rank "themselves" together with tankers and large freighters, I get it now haha, just they need to remember that large vessels keep watch visual and AIS. Idiots... And for the Stir side also note Captain cabin is always on STBD and C.Eng on port side. That in case Bridge Navigation officer falls asleep and Captain is having tea on his balcony and sees right of way upcoming vessel on collision course. haha.
What the larboard? This Eaglite was at the helm when a DDG of the US persuasion passed windward of my fine vessel dousing the wind from her sails, then backed down, again doused, then roared past again dousing our wind but this time with a giant Jolly Roger. So it's all cool. ←sarcastic Diesel sucks, squareriggers rule.
***swoops in, slicing all the halyards with invisible super-hero sword-hands, sets the bosun's chair on fire and tosses into the sea, disintegrates all mast steps with super x-ray nuclear fusion vision eye lasers*** ***oh, and picks up wine glass I just knocked over on that ridiculous entry*** No, @captainboomie ! You shall not jump! --you are good enough, smart enough, and dog-gone-it--people like you! --Stuart Smalley bwaaaahahahahahaaaaa! Hiya friends! :) :) No topmast jumping for you, K, but dammit if Julie Nolke isn't some funny shit. Thanks for the tip Jeffrey! ;) Never heard of her till tonight. I think she actually got drunk for reals on this one for the mirror takes (ruclips.net/video/jvdkf2rzfPA/видео.html ), hahahahaha. If not: and the Oscar goes to..... bwaaaaaaahahahahahahaha! Fair winds to ya both!

That was great, complete with humor! Thanks, and Keep it up!
Absolutely amazing! You made it much simpler, thank you!
I have been boating for 55 years. This is the best discussion of “right of way” i have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

Your video is amazing. I have been a captain for 15 years and often think through two or three different regulations to decide who should hold and stand. Your explanation sums it up with surprising simplicity. Thank you, Thank you
Everytime someone says Captain Boomies I hear something else and I smile. Sorry but I can’t help myself. 😊
I know what I did...😜
Awesome sauce + 42. As a sailor who had plied the St Lucie inlet / Manatee Pocket on three day weekends, I can say this is a well needed video for many.... many boaters.
It's exciting out there with all these new boaters!
I’m pretty solid on the rules except for which sailboat is the stand on. Could never get this locked into my brain. “Maneuverability” was the key. Brilliant. Thank you.
This was spot on ...and engagingly hilarious! Sending to all of my sailing buds. Thanks!
oooooooooh my good goodness you are the best! You are always so delightful and entertaining to watch, Cap'n Boomietown! What a solid boil-down to 2 rules--so good! Love, love LOOOOVE it!
Woohoo! This makes me feel so freaking awesome!
Best illustration of Col Regs I've seen
Great to know about the steer - board
Thank you.
Landlocked, [almost] desert. Never thought about any of this before. Your explanation was clear and concise. Cool!
Loved the "steerboard" explanation! Great vid!
Great clarification of a complex mess of regulations!
Fun, yet informative! First time around, will watch more. Thanks!
It is amazing and being a professional myself I see so many boaters that have ZERO clue about any of this. It drives me nuts. But also you added a couple details I don't know about so thanks for the history lesson and the awesome videos...

This is a good, well animated, simple and especially entertaining explanation of rule of the road. Well done Boomie!
Well shucks! I feel all warm and fuzzy now 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I learned something. Thank you Capt Boomies!
Well done! After watching a dozen videos on this subject, you nailed it! And enjoyably!
Thanks so much! Now go tell 200 of your internet friends.... And anyone who actually needs this information.
Memorable explanation... Thanks
Glad I found you , refreshing videos , great info and brilliantly presented
This is the best description of colregs ever
Thank you so much! Tell all your floating friends!
Your lessons are more fun than anyone else's
Thank you!!!... Now go tell 10 of your friends and hold them down until they subscribe. ☠☠🏴🏴
That is a great explanation! Thanks Captain Boomies!
Great video, love your sense of humor.
oml, teach me life miss. You are amazing at this!

Good video….like the bit about steerboard vs starboard!
Thanks! It's a fun bit of seafaring history and I like talking about it!
This was the first boating video I ever watched that I didn’t pay attention to what was said , yeah just her wow !
👀 😂 I’ll try again .
Loved this video! You’re good at this!
Love this video! Outstanding job making g a confusing subject simple. Will be sharing with my kids.
Careful, Sailor.. some of my stuff has some potty-mouth in it. Not sure what level of saltiness your kids are...
Huge fan, kinda fell in love during all that…
Yo
I found channel
Just bought boat from Atlantic City
Great videos!!!
All I wanna do is learn…

Thanks! It was a nice review and you are very entertaining.
So, former submarine officer.
Never had a great grasp of the order of precedence of the colregs, cause we were *always* the give way vessel (outside of like 2 minutes spent on the surface).
Awesome! Thanks. Kiddos love your explanations too.
Happy to help! Okay but now I'm panicking because I sometimes use bad words on my channel... Parents don't always appreciate it.
@@CaptainBoomies my teenage boys will see your swear words and raise them… haha! Don’t worry, it’s the parents responsibility to vet the content. Which I do :)
Nice video captain boomies
So happy to find you! 👏🏼⛵️🩵
Wow. So good. Just wow.
Nicely done. Thanks
You're a great teacher!
Thanks! Glad I'm making sense. That means I get to have a cocktail before I film the next one.
Well done!
LOL.. You have a great voice!
Very nicely explained ..... and a bit funny. Yay funny.
Thanks! Hopefully the funny makes the knowledge stick better... But I'm mostly just entertaining myself.
Things make a bit more sense now - the humour sure helps!
Great video. Keep making them!
Love captain boomies
Love you back! 💞
Thanks for the video. Amazing
It was wonderful. Here is what I do with our pontoon boat at our local lake. I avoid EVERYONE. Since they think they are correct in no matter what they do I just stay away. Sail on...
Love your presentation skills ...... slightly "off the wall" but fantastic !
Only slightly off the wall? I need to up my game.

You're hilarious! Makes learning a lot easier :) Subscribed!
So great! Thanks!
I live in MD do you give captain license testing instruction?
You should add an explanation as to WHY... there are red and green lights ..that ties into stand on and give way... If you see the other vessel’s red light it means you must slow down or maneuver to avoid a collision. The other vessel should make no course or speed change.

You're great ☺️ 👍
You are too! Thanks!
You helped me a great deal,thank you
Love your video!
Funny and educational. Love it!
Why are you wearing a life jacket inside your home? 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 Do you sell those little sailboat models in your merch?
Safety!... Also you want tiny boats?! You got it! amzn.to/3rShnYi
Wonderful
Does the ais / radar pick up submarines that are underwater?
I've never seen a submarine with its AIS on, but I know they have it. As for radar, the ships radar is only looking above the surface, and cannot see below the water... unless you have one of those really badass fish-finder sonar things!!! It would be pretty neat to float over a submarine with one of those.
@@CaptainBoomies yeah I wouldn’t think you could detect a sub but I guess they aren’t in stealth mode all the time
Thank you
Very welll simplified: 2 rules.
Excellent!
Thanks for this.
This is pretty awesome!
Thanks!! It was a tricky one to not go waaaaaay overboard and talk about a million examples.
The only you didn’t show was horn tooting when and how. Also what to do when crossing a military ship.
Important point to remember. Sailboats tend to know the rules. All you need to skipper a power boat is a can of gasoline and a six-pack.
Well done! And... Pusser's with a straw? What the...???
You’re good for video definitely not an idiot!!
Thanks, sailor!
I think you're the best kind of idiot a smart and goofy one. Lol. Thanks for a more entertaining way of learning than many other videos that make me feel like I'm in human resources training for a new 9-5 job. Yuck. 😂 liked and subscribed!

Excellent video!
Hey sailboat folk, don't forget if your engine is on, you are a motor vessel. Even if you and your handheld squeaker horn give five short to the cargo ship...
You're a sailboat folk sometimes; I've seen it!!
What if yer engine is intermittent? 🤔
This is a hilarious and terrible problem to have.
Yeah not confusing at all! How about row boats where everyone is facing where they have been?
I guess most motor boats in Miami are considered less maneuverable and rank "themselves" together with tankers and large freighters, I get it now haha, just they need to remember that large vessels keep watch visual and AIS. Idiots... And for the Stir side also note Captain cabin is always on STBD and C.Eng on port side. That in case Bridge Navigation officer falls asleep and Captain is having tea on his balcony and sees right of way upcoming vessel on collision course. haha.
I teach, "from 12 to 3, its me", meaning my job is to get out of the way. Its more like 12-3:15 but hey...
Oh, that was about safety at sea was it? Sorry, I was momentarily distracted bt the siren voice and the narrator.
What the larboard?
