How's everybody doing? I will be answering all questions only from public SUBSCRIBERS in the 1st 48 hours of the video being released. So SUBSCRIBE and ask away. 1 question each please guys. Thank you.
I am so glad you started the video with the safety briefing. Anchor chain rusts so even if the vessel is not made of steel there is still a hazard of oxygen depletion in the locker.
Really enjoyed looking behind the facade to those areas that make the yacht work. I really look forward to seeing more about the electrical systems onboard, how the lines are routed and what they all control. As always, Tristan, keep up the excellent work!
Verry interesting video! The most interesting part is the decklocker waterproof part and the drains, as i can see it will leak water (no rubbers used and not overboard)
Very interesting and informative, cool to see the inner workings of the different systems. Really appreciate that you started first with the confined space safety precaution, too many people are ignorant and careless in that regard. Brest wishes for 2021!
Back to the awol after a series of live video. Both exercises are perfect. It's nice to see the awol again. excellent work Tristan, glad to see you again on board the Awol, briskly to see you sail again
Awesome video Tristan. As much as the scenery of the Med is, and watching you and the crew do their jobs at the highest level, These are the videos that really pique my interest. To see what it is that makes these super yachts function is very interesting. Something like an anchor locker would be pretty ho hum for most, but it's a critical part of the vessel, as are the windlasses and all of their associated components. It's also very interesting to watch line handlers doing their work. Keep up the good work, it's good to see you and the crew getting ready for hopefully a good season.
@@SuperYachtCaptain Tristan, Your crew and you deserve all the kind words. You seem like an amazing leader to work for. Your crew are all squared away and personable. If I had the $$$ to charter AWOL for a week, I would do it in a minute. Thank you for providing unique and interesting content.
Really good to reiterate that advice Tristan, Anchor lockers, even on wooden and fibreglass boats can be dangerous confined spaces. People still fail to understand the risk because they cannot smell any odour, feel themselves initially breathing normally, completely unaware that the oxygen component of the air mix has been busy oxidizing away surfaces and anchor chain or being consumed by the wood. Really great blog update and really hope that 2020 turns out to be a good year for AWOL. Stay safe!
This is exactly the kind of education that I love to see, especially the didactic concept with which you derive the facts. I look forward to more such videos.
Holy cow, a compartment on AWOL that ISN'T SHINY!!! 😱🤣 (j/k) Really neat to see all the equipment involved in anchoring. Not simply a chain winch strapped to a bumper!
Hey Capt T, just want to say you have done an excellent job editing this one, the opening worked particularly well, just have to watch the quality when you make big in edit crops but you got away with it here. It goes without saying that it's an ace video as always, so I won't say it. Cheers.
This is good. It reminds me of the "Corporate Pilot Life" channel. He's been posting a "Tech Tuesday" to explain the equipment on the corporate jet planes.
Great confined space warning. Minor point to emphasize, not just steel hulled vessels prone to oxygen depletion. Anchor chains even in wood and GRP, particularly susceptible. Rare but equally deadly, freshly cut timber also depletes oxygen.
I took the coastguard power squadron course when I was a little kid. I lived all the thermonlogy. Never became a big seaman but became a commercial pilot. Lots a fun terminology but marine has more I think.
The section on the underside of the windlass that you referred to as teeth are called "castellations". They are named so as they look like the battlements on a castle. Also nice vid!!
You are one of my favourite youTubers your videos are very entertaining and i’d like to thank you for inspiring me to start my own RUclips channel thank you .
Can you do a video of you refitting the anchor? Does the anchor chain have a length of rode attaching it to the yacht in case you reach the bitter end?
First you need a video presenting how anchoring a vessel works in the first place. It's surprisingly simple but most don't *get it*(meaning understand the the principles behind anchoring) so they wind up getting massive ground tackle tech with no *"grounding"* in the idea of anchoring in the first place. In short worse than meaningless. The best example of anchoring I have ever seen in real life is from the RUclips Channel "Sailing Uma" during the 2019 Hurricane that obliterated Grand Bahama Island and the Abacos last Year (this year being 2020). Good luck doing that with your Super Yacht!
For whom ever is curious, The length of a shackle (aka shot) is 15 fathoms. A fathom is still defined as 6 feet, so that's 90 feet per shackle. That converts to 27.432 meters. Captain - Do you attach the bitter end to the ship? (with a weak link?)
Also Tristan, Andreza went back in the water yesterday after her service. Spent the whole day today cleaning the cockpit, storage lockers and lazarette, I have fresh bruises everywhere and I ache in places I had forgotten I have! Interior cleaning starts tomorrow, can't wait.
Interesting video, only thing i didn't really get was do you have two anchors? and do you put them both out and if so why would one side have less chain?….spot the nubie !
Wow! If you have watched more than 1 video of the Super Yacht Captain and you are not subscribed..... you should have your head examined.. Just hit subscribe . 🤨🤔. Another Great Video! Thanks Tristan.
Love the vlogs. Starting watching from the start at vlog1. Can you tell me why you have 4 shackles on one side and 5 shackles on the other. Why not the same length chain on each side?
At the beginning of this video you explain all about the hazards of going into an enclosed space, potential lack of oxygen and devices to measure beforehand for your safety.... yet you didn't seem to have/use one. Was this just because you'd had the hatch open for a while? It would have been interesting to see one in use!
Probably has been opened and checked. The chain was removed and was on the floor of where the yacht was being worked on showing it being painted in a previous video. I'm sure he knew it was safe to enter but he should of explained that or shown the instrument they use to measure the level.
Great video! Though I have no clue how you can remember all the stuff you do and have to know. I was wondering about the chain locker. 1 video I seen, it looked like there was enough space in there to place a small cabin in, and i was wondering why they did not. This explains why they did not. What do you NOT know when it comes to a yacht?
You didn’t explain why chains aren’t of equal length. Also, would like to know how ground lines work. I see when backed into a dock, all these bow lines running off. What are they attached to and how do they work? Thanks.
Sir, thank you so much again for a phenomenal video. You have shown me once again that if I won the lottery, I shouldn't by a yacht......but if I did, I would want you as its captain. When are you going to be on Below Deck? :)
Very educational, thank you so much. Just a couple of questions, is excess water pumped out of the locker?, also, I have seen a video of a thing called the anchor locker chain drive... Is that only for larger vessels? I suppose it's used to avoid clutter and jamming?
@@SuperYachtCaptain thank you for your prompt reply. I imagined it would be so, but I thought that a way out would also be a way in, at least in heavy seas?
Hi Captain! Being a volunteer firefighter. We have fire lines, or hoses pre- connected to the truck with nozzles already attached for quicker response. Just curious as to why you don't at least have your nozzle already attached to you hose line, for a quicker deployment?
Hugh, great question, the truth is I never thought of that and when we do our fire training the nozzle was never attached. Our training is done by actual British fire fighters. You make a very good point.
Is the collision bulkhead fiberglass or some type of metal ? I'm a US Navy sailor and used to steel boats not fiberglass or plastic boats and they do not seem as strong as steel boats !
Staffordshire Dash Cam Videos Why would you tell me something like that, but not tell me why? That’s not very nice Tristan. You didn’t really answer the question on the length of the chains either! Give in to me in common terms! But awesome video just the same!
You had mentioned the term the "bitter end", I have heard it used a lot before but was wondering if that was a boating term or you just used it when talking at that moment?
Hi Tristan, in the USA navy, you don't go into any closed space with out a buddy, gas meter and oxygen meter. I don't see how the civilian side doesn't incorporate these safety procedures..
Hi Tristan, thanks for another brilliat video. With regards to the painted links on the chains, do you know whether the paint used is specifically chosen as environmentally friendly and who is responsible for ensuring this would be the case?
Your knowledge of AWOL is always impressive. Thanks for all of your VLOGS
How's everybody doing?
I will be answering all questions only from public SUBSCRIBERS in the 1st 48 hours of the video being released.
So SUBSCRIBE and ask away.
1 question each please guys.
Thank you.
I love the videos about the mechanical aspects of the yacht.
Thanks. Do you prefer the videos with Slaven the engineer?
@@SuperYachtCaptain Slaven is the Man!
Getting back to the roots of the channel! The in and outs of the yacht! Keep it this way
I am so glad you started the video with the safety briefing. Anchor chain rusts so even if the vessel is not made of steel there is still a hazard of oxygen depletion in the locker.
Be cool to see more of these on different aspects of the boat
Great to hear because we got more coming.
I am not a yachty person, but your videos are inspirational and informative. Thank you for explaining everything so well.
Wow, thank you!
Really enjoyed looking behind the facade to those areas that make the yacht work. I really look forward to seeing more about the electrical systems onboard, how the lines are routed and what they all control. As always, Tristan, keep up the excellent work!
Love your educational videos of motor yacht AWOL. Thanks so much Captain Tristan. We all learn a lot from you.
I like your videos and your technical introduction to the vessel is great!
Verry interesting video! The most interesting part is the decklocker waterproof part and the drains, as i can see it will leak water (no rubbers used and not overboard)

This is awesome. I have hardly watch any traditional TV in the last few months, this type of content is far more interesting. Keep it up.
Really nice that you gave an Enclosed Space Briefing at the start of the video, not many people understand this DEADLY problem.
Back to the awol after a series of live video. Both exercises are perfect. It's nice to see the awol again. excellent work Tristan, glad to see you again on board the Awol, briskly to see you sail again
Thanks for the continuous support Rudi. :)
Hi Tristan. That was a very descriptive tour and explaining all the deck fittings. Awesome video
very educational Tristan , please keep video like that with great content
Excellent instructions and beyond.

I like these educational videos. Well done. Thanks
Good example of what is involved in running a large vessel.
Really enjoying seeing these videos. Shows that despite the luxury look and aesthetics of AWOL, underneath her skin she is still a mechanical beast.
This is exactly the kind of education that I love to see, especially the didactic concept with which you derive the facts.
I look forward to more such videos.
Yesssss. A proper mic. Awesome !! :)
Hugely informative, thank you.
Wow. People are loving this anchor locker. It's tiny and simple. Wonder if me doing one of my next cargo ship I work on will get the same
Nice opening shot! Good to see you playing around a bit with camera stuff now you have all this time on your hands! ;)
Adam Bottomley Lmao Tristan Watney stuff going on in this one!
Very informative Tristan, I've been wondering how all that stuff works. Cheers
I really appreciate that kind of video. thanks for putting it together.
You give clear, interesting explanations, thanks!
One of the best vids... nice one Tristan. More like this please....
Hello 👋 Commander! Interesting. Thnx! CJ
Holy cow, a compartment on AWOL that ISN'T SHINY!!! 😱🤣 (j/k) Really neat to see all the equipment involved in anchoring. Not simply a chain winch strapped to a bumper!
Always interesting and informative have a great week Tristan

Interesting acronym for the anchor chain paint.
Absolutely fantastic videos on all aspects of a motor yacht. So much involved. Well done mate! S
Once y'all are back out on the water, the testing of the fire hoses would be a cool thing to cover.
Consider it done
Another great video. Thanks
I really enjoyed this tour and education!!
Nice behind the scenes video. Would love to see more like that.
Great teaching video, really appreciate these different aspects of boating, keep this up please 🛳👍
practice makes perfect with the anchor mechanisms no doubt.
Thanks for another great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
A yacht is a complex mechanical system: so much for a Captain to know the comprehensive story.
Informative as always. I'm not used to seeing that much dirt on AWOL! I bet you'll be glad to get it back in the water spick and span.
Good one! Thanks so much!
Great video Tristan. Before we know it, we're all qualified deckhands. ;-)
Absolutely! ;)))
This is good. It reminds me of the "Corporate Pilot Life" channel. He's been posting a "Tech Tuesday" to explain the equipment on the corporate jet planes.
really enjoyed this, find it really fascinating learning all the terminology and procedures on a big yacht 👍🏼
Wonderful! I knew most of the terms, but not what they meant. THX!
Great explanation. Congratulations on the oxigen recommendation
Glad it was helpful!
Yes! I love this video! I love learning what is inside all the different hatches!
Thanks Richard
Great confined space warning. Minor point to emphasize, not just steel hulled vessels prone to oxygen depletion. Anchor chains even in wood and GRP, particularly susceptible. Rare but equally deadly, freshly cut timber also depletes oxygen.
01:10 so so so so interesting! wow!
I took the coastguard power squadron course when I was a little kid. I lived all the thermonlogy. Never became a big seaman but became a commercial pilot. Lots a fun terminology but marine has more I think.
Almost to a 100k caption. Good job
Stopper line is also called a Snubber line.
interesting! Nice content to learn about all those bits and bobs on such a yacht :)
Thank you.That was very informative
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video! Love to see other areas like this as well. Signed up for the raffle .. maybe I'll get to see it up close and personal. :-)
Anchor wash. Who knew!
The section on the underside of the windlass that you referred to as teeth are called "castellations". They are named so as they look like the battlements on a castle. Also nice vid!!
Actually, it's a dog clutch
Wow, I would love to be on a yacht 🛥
You are one of my favourite youTubers your videos are very entertaining and i’d like to thank you for inspiring me to start my own RUclips channel thank you .
Great video. Do y'all secure end of chain with a shake or line inside the lock. The very end of chain that is.
Can you do a video of you refitting the anchor? Does the anchor chain have a length of rode attaching it to the yacht in case you reach the bitter end?
First you need a video presenting how anchoring a vessel works in the first place. It's surprisingly simple but most don't *get it*(meaning understand the the principles behind anchoring) so they wind up getting massive ground tackle tech with no *"grounding"* in the idea of anchoring in the first place.

The have a rope attached to it to hold it in but if the chain runs away it won't hold that and it will let it go
For whom ever is curious, The length of a shackle (aka shot) is 15 fathoms. A fathom is still defined as 6 feet, so that's 90 feet per shackle. That converts to 27.432 meters.
Captain - Do you attach the bitter end to the ship? (with a weak link?)
Yes, we do, I missed showing it in the video. Will show you in a future vid.
Any particular reason for the difference in chain length?? Awesome video! Would love to see more like it!
It makes it extremely difficult for them to get twisted together
@@thecloneguyz You mean when they are both deployed?
Really interesting stuff but I'm buggered if I'm climbing in my anchor locker I'll stick to turning the deck wash hose down there lol.
Also Tristan, Andreza went back in the water yesterday after her service. Spent the whole day today cleaning the cockpit, storage lockers and lazarette, I have fresh bruises everywhere and I ache in places I had forgotten I have! Interior cleaning starts tomorrow, can't wait.
Are there rules about how to entire? Love that love to see all of you- James.
Yet another vote to find out if you attach the bitter end of the anchor rode.
Interesting video, only thing i didn't really get was do you have two anchors? and do you put them both out and if so why would one side have less chain?….spot the nubie !
Another excellent video Tristan. Can you tell me how you determine the size of chain required? Is it related to the displacement weight?
Wow! If you have watched more than 1 video of the Super Yacht Captain and you are not subscribed..... you should have your head examined.. Just hit subscribe . 🤨🤔. Another Great Video! Thanks Tristan.
Tristan, love the video, thanks! Why does one side have a shorter chain than the other?
I really when you started talking before we saw you and you’re towards us the same time.

Mark Chippendale I am sure that all precautions were taken off camera and there was likely someone else on board who was aware of his intentions.
Probably has been opened and checked. The chain was removed and was on the floor of where the yacht was being worked on showing it being painted in a previous video. I'm sure he knew it was safe to enter but he should of explained that or shown the instrument they use to measure the level.

The locker has a drain hole at the bottom for the water to drain freely.

he covered that. The anchor wash is in the hawsepipe where the chain comes up from the sea.
@@JCrook1028 Thanks. I guess I missed it.
Surely you mean the cable locker ie a compartment for the storage of anchor cable.
Interesting about anchor chain lengths, however, why is one longer than the other?

Whats the weight of the anchor chain ,I do enjoy the technical things
Tristan . How do you operate the winches? remote or foot pedal. Good video’s keep up the good work . regards big grandy
why is it diffrent length of the chains?
Hi Tristan, thanks for another brilliat video. With regards to the painted links on the chains, do you know whether the paint used is specifically chosen as environmentally friendly and who is responsible for ensuring this would be the case?
Is it a practice to tell another crew member when you’re going into a confined compartment.
Yes
Bugle!
