great question, and something I failed to show during set-up. The line tied to the fender feeds through the bow roller and back to the anchor locker. I will pin this comment so everyone else can see. Thanks for posting
Hi ı was looking for a sailboat sclupting tutorial videos on youtube but ı couldnt find anything looking similar to our boat. I am racing with my friends with our universities Farr 30 model racing boat And then I saw your videos and Would you consider making a tutorial about this greetings from turkey 🙏🏼
Hi, and thanks for posting. To make a basic model that looks like your boat, you will need to get the line plans. Sometimes you might be lucky to find them, or something similar, online, for free. If you want it to be exact, unfortunately you will have to buy those line plans from the manufacturer. I use the dimensions from line plans and software called Freeship to make the basic hull shape. The rest must be modelled by myself using software called Blender3D. (Blender is free but takes time to master). The model used in our tutorials takes around 4 weeks to model. Making tutorials for this task would take forever!! You can check out freeship-plus.en.softonic.com/ for the basic hull, then import it into Blender, which can be found at blender.org Hope this helps, thanks for watching
As someone currently going through sail training, very interesting, I can see the benefits of having the swivel, but does it not introduce another potential failure point?
this is why anchoring can be such a contested topic, and yes, it could be seen as a potential fail point. Again, depends on your sailing. If we anchor for a week (and sometimes we do) we can expect 4 rotations per day due to current changes, making 28 rotations over a week. You would definitely want a swivel in those scenarios. Thanks for watching and good luck with your training
I'd be very concerned about any connection in the anchor line which can't be inspected. From what I've seen, with the cheapest sort of anchor swivels like the one shown diagrammatically in the video, the rotating bearing is hidden and the swivel can't be disassembled. So using this type of swivel in a marine environment means you're forced to assume that the concealed point of rotation isn't being weakened by corrosion. This seems unwise to me in a time when hardware that looks good on the surface but is actually cheap rubbish abounds. There are more expensive swivels which can be taken apart.
Did you say 400 meters of chain at 11min 5 sec. Where does this figure come from.? Find your videos very informative being a newbie but was lost off at this .
how do you feed a fender through the roller if you have to do an emergency release? something doesnt add up

I'm glad you are still making content like this. I recently earned a trio of ASA certs and your videos have helped me in remedial training.
so good to hear, keep up with your progress, great days ahead
Great video, very informative. A similar video on retrieving the anchor would be nice 👍
great review and great idea, thank you
As a new sailor, your videos are a huge help to understanding concepts and theories! Thanks
amazing feedback, thanks so much and enjoy your progress as a sailor
surprisingly informative. nice work
fantastic, thanks so much for the great comments
i’ve read some anchor maker’s say that you don’t want an anchor too big because it won’t work properly. stay within recommended ranges.
you might also have issues bringing it up again
very clever anchor warning advice , plus nice to see you still making great informative videos 😀
gotta keep myself busy nowadays 😂
Teşekkürler.
amazing, Teşekkürler
Best video series ever! What program do you use?! This is unbelievable
Greetings, what a start to the day, thanks so much for the amazing comments. I use Blender3d for these. www.blender.org
Or use chain counter.
Great videos btw :)
thank you... yep the ultimate is chain counter

@@allanmason3201 great information, thanks for sharing
Make sure to mention that a stainless steel anchor is not a good idea in salt water for long term cruisers

Find your videos very informative being a newbie but was lost off at this .
Hi, and thanks for the great comments... I believe I say: "All hundred metres of chain"...
That makes sense. My ears must need cleaning out.
