    Anyone can drive a boat, but it takes a real pro to maintain a winning team. A good Captain is always calm, in control, and never raises his voice. Tristan Mortlock is an inspiration.

    • @LEGOpachinko
      @LEGOpachinko 3 года назад +2

      Agree, but the "anyone can drive a boat" might need an "if" or "when" :)

    • @Breenild
      @Breenild 3 года назад +1

      I'm absolutely sure, you really need to be an EXPERIENCED captain to dock such a boat like the AWOL without any crashes.

    • @niranthbanks3595
      @niranthbanks3595 3 года назад +1

      I’ve watched from nearly the beginning and he has always been thus. It took your listing of the qualities for me to realize they fit for so many leadership roles.

    • @JCrook1028
      @JCrook1028 3 года назад

      Hmm but his team has changed many times so........you're saying he's not a "real pro"?

    • @Slonge92
      @Slonge92 3 года назад +5

      I’ve watched all the videos and convinced myself that I can do everything Captain Tristen does, as long as the boat is under 25 feet! Of course with an Engineer, Deck Hands, Cook, etc., I may have exceeded the capacity of the boat.

  • @jamesgurney6576
    @jamesgurney6576 3 года назад +6

    Very interesting, from a retired ship’s Captain. I remember having to depart at times when people where not available to let go lines ashore, but we would do this is bring the mooring line eye aboard with the bite of the line around the bit and the eye splice around a mooring bit on the ship. When letting go these lines would let go last on the ship and the line would slide around the mooring bit ashore and back aboard.

    Hey, you're docking next to Silver Wind! That yacht was recently featured by eSysman! Thanks for your great videos, Tristan!

  • @adrianhobbins1230
    @adrianhobbins1230 3 года назад +61

    I really appreciate these docking and departure videos Tristan, they make excellent viewing and I love all of the different camera angles too - great job! My question of the day is: What knot do you use to attach the throwing line to the loop of the stern line? Is it just a bowline or is there some other special knot?

    • @poprostuadas
      @poprostuadas 3 года назад

      I'd guess it's
      some variation of sheet Bend knot. But I hope Trist will tell us what knot it is ;)

    • @piersbarrow686
      @piersbarrow686 3 года назад +1

      I use a round turn and two half hitches, tied near the splice so the heaving line doesn’t get trapped by the securing object

  • @Andrew-wv7qp
    @Andrew-wv7qp 2 года назад +2

    i've had similar situations docking, except with wind. One time while docking, the wind picked up 15-20k blowing across the slip, making for a pretty challenging operation, considering my boat is a single screw with no bow thruster. As soon as we had Gusto in the slip and secured, the wind dropped to a dead calm. Figures.

    You and your crew do an amazing job. From the videos, it appears that everyone gets along great. Any chance you could film a crew meeting about the day. I only can assume that you give the crew praise and positive correction when needed.
    Thank you!

  • @Renegade040
    @Renegade040 3 года назад

    Now that brings back some memories of my stay on my friend boat, not quite in the super yacht class as your boat, 28 metre. When I was there, we were moored about 5 berths to your starboard side, when a quite serve storm hit with very strong winds which pushed in a lot of water into this marina, and what a marina it is, just fantastic.
    Now the problem with this marina was a very large super yacht, similar size to yours, in the same berth you were in was getting pushed hard against the concrete siding and with the increased tide, well not really a tide, all the fenders were popping out threatening to crash the hull against the concrete, even witnessed the crew trying to push this massive boat off by hand, of course to no avail.
    They were starting to panic a little, as they couldn't simply drive out, but I'm sure some of the crew on the vessels to his starboard side throw some lines to this vessel and together winched him of the concrete enough to get some tyres and fenders down lower enough to save a lot of damage to the hull.
    Now, my other question which I did ask our skipper the same question, why don't you use return lines to your vessel, in this case I think it would have worked fine in this case, may not in all marinas. Also with the cost of these berths, surely there should be some sort of protection fitted to this concrete, thank you for another great video.

    @okoustrup Год назад

    I wonder about one thing -second time I see this - when I manage my ship single handed (not as big though🙂) and I have to leave shore - I take 1-2 of the lines and loop them around the pulleys, so I have the holding end on board and the other end on board. When I'm ready to leave I pull the ends onboard - no need to be ashore. With a bigger boat - I don't know, but you surely has more than one person to handle the lines
    Okay they most of the times get weat and has to dry for some hours

    Your vlog's are becoming more and more professional every day, I thoroughly enjoy every one!! And yes, congratulations to the owners (and Kevin Bonnie) on the sale of AWOL last month. Has your owner chosen the replacement yacht? I assume he's had his eyes on particular vessel for some time but most importantly will he consent to a continuation of "Super Yacht Captain"?

    With all the automation on a SuperYacht, I'm wondering whether the status of the chase boat is monitored while under tow, for example, if it should come loose in suboptimal weather, who/what is watching that it is still behind you? I'm sure some AIS distance feature could "track" it, but don't know if that's a thing.

    What lights do you display when towing? A yellow stern light? And does your chase boat need any lights when it's being towed? One assumes so.
