straight and to the point great vid. so many of these vlogs do these endless boring explanations leading up to the manoeuvre. message to all other vloggers. give us sailors what we all want. the manoeuvre in as short a timeframe as required. sorry but we don't want to listen to you guys giving us war and peace :)
Thanks for these tips. In this video and also in the couple of similar videos it is not visible to me the following: When my crew member ties line to a tree and bring the other end of line back to the boat, I saw in this video (and others) that the line is then fed into the winch? How do you then tie the line on to the cleat if it goes through the winch?
You can pass it through the cleat an then winch it but only if not enough muscle power or strong wind. After you pull enough can take off the winch an use the hands to finish cleating it. As the rope is already passed throug the cleat you need less muscle power to hold the rope. Btw in the video the cleat hitch is a bit weird - not according to standard:)
@@JRadev-lq1ds Hi, I wish I had seen the video before I went to the Ionian! However the system we worked out was very similar, but to answer your question we always took the shore line back to the winches and used these to get the boat exactly where we wanted. having got the position right we then left the line on the winch but took the tail back to the cleat as an extra security measure. We moored and left in some very heavy cross winds and keeping the lines on the winches winches helps when leaving too. The only other tip I would share is that if leaving in a very string cross wind as soon as the windward line is off the boat will swing. We combatted this in some locations by completely releasing the windward line from the boat, and then motoring out taking the anchor in. As soon as the windward line was released the shore crew pulled it in (to get it away from the boat) and then could leisurely undo the bowline and stow the line in they dinghy, after which they rowed / motored manoeuvred
@@JRadev-lq1ds Hi, the windward and leeward-lines was fixed with the OXO-Method to the cleat. That's the RYA standard for British sailors. Btw: I'm not a fan of this method, but it works well as the global standard you mentioned. I use the global standard as well. ;-) Regards
@@ushi120 i also learned oxo in rya in UK but it once slipped on me on a thin, wet line. so now i always put a locking turn on. unless on a very thick line that may need to be slipped quickly. i think rya need to rethink this
their anchors are placed in seaweed and will not hold boats well))and in Turkey they would be fined by the maritime police for tying mooring lines for trees
For decades, we have been using this technique in the agean see Turkish coast. Please do not tie Around a tree, it is very harmful, you may crack down the tree by the force of the wind. Line to shore technique is not a must, but necessary to open space to new yachts where crowded. If you cannot find a rock , please do not tie to a tree.
Brilliant advice, simple and to the point, thanks
Very good video. Short, straight to the point and no nonsense. Subscribed 👍

Anyone have advise on whether to use a bridle with a catamaran when doing long lines to shore. Oh and thanks for the video!
Nice and short -- in a crosswind situation where you don't want to swing, what would be the recommended exit strategy?
Think, with 2 crew it is more easy to pull line from the boat side to shore.
Good tips..
Please try to show a video where the windward and leeward-lines are fixed to rocks, not at a tree.
Trees become massiv damaged.
Thx
I think the robe broke tree İ was suprıse they allow at the Greece At Turkey they dont allow the tide the rope to the trees Take care Happy sailing
