@@SuperYachtCaptain Thank you for your very informative video it answers many questions I have had about this type of docking.As a Canadian that lives in the Pacific Northwest I am confused as to the attraction of mooring in what amounts to a rich persons trailer park ,putting your multimillion dollar vessel at risk of a whiskey burn every time a new vessel comes in or out next to your vessel. Admittedly I am anti social and this is why the only time our 53 foot Spencer Ketch is at a dock is to resupply . I also have a hard time understanding why a wealthy person would not want to skipper his or her own vessel.I guess it is a very different culture than what I have been exposed to. It seems to me you would have virtually no privacy while moored at these facilities. I would be curious to know what the crew does if the vessel stops at port for a few days on a cruise? Do you get time to enjoy the area or are you kept busy doing maintenance etc.
Finally someone made a video about this. I have seen so many videos about docking and only you and Work on a Superyacht actually explained to me how ground lines work. Great video.
Tristan, two additions: - in most marinas there are different areas for different size ships - the distance dock - mooring stone is different also. - Sweden normally has a different system with buoys. But there is a new tendency to install mooring lines.
Nicely explained Tristan. It could have been worth mentioning that the reason you don't get Med style moorings in other parts of the world is due to the lack of any significant tides in the Med. You cannot realistically use that style of mooring when the sea level is rising and falling up to 4 metres twice a day.
There are plenty of places in the world that do not have four-meter tides, yet where Med moors are not used. In fact, I suspect that it would be very difficult to find a significant port that does have four-meter tides.
I love these white board explanations. You may think they are easy and basic. But a lot of us are not captains or deck hands so unaware of how even the little things work.
Tristan - Happy New Year!!! This old tall ship sailor still loves watching all your videos. While I understood intuitively how ground lines probably work on a Mediterranean moor, this was a great video to make it clear exactly how the process works. I am a bit curious about the purpose of the main chain that joins the heavy concrete blocks together. Doesn't seem like it needs to be there to keep them from moving individually or does it?
The sea bed is in no way a constant. It always shifts or drops or to say it “move”. Ground digging works (which are very common in a harbor) also affects the sea bed and sometimes those blocks can slide to lower (newly made) depths. Therefore you need to have a way to secure them that even if they move the will not go far away as dull as it sounds :-)
At the marina at Monaco for the races you were essentially backed up with your stern facing the bow of the boats moored to the dock. How was your stern stabilized/secured?
Ground line = mooring line attached to the dock, Just other system of buoy. (this lines mustn't float). You had "clear" water and no need to drop anchor. There are only two minus, when You are docking with strong wind - you can be pushed on another yacht or concrete dock. Only while docking , after that its very stable moorage - sometimes You can use two lines the one for side. And second minus when You try to dock and You saw that there is no free line or its not attached to dock. -What means that You had to look for other place. Good explanation. Maybe a series of films about different mooring systems? (there where anchoring, now ground lines...) Happy and good New Year.
There is a common help with side wind: - first I go in without caring about the mooring line (as Tristan explained). - then it is important to get one stern line at luv side of the boat. On sailing boats I want that line long. - with that line and the engine forward I can press the bow to luv. - next the mooring line is handled forward and attached - heavily pulled strong. Be aware of some bad guys in the marinas that try to guide the mooring line to your screw. Then the boat should be some save - then attaching lee stern line . - engine going backwards I stretch the mooring line more (eventually it has to be released a little bit) and shorten both stern lines to get the right distance to the dock.
@@SuperYachtCaptainaah, I was just wondering why you just drop them off the bow, I guess the lines are of a material that sinks. So instead of just drawing one line to the boat you should have drawn a curve to show that the line is just lifted and still attached in both ends :)
Do you ever have to use your anchor as the ground line or do all the ports have ground lines installed? Also, do you ever have a problem getting the line straight and tight with the weight of the chain wanting to pull down and keep a curve or are your capstans strong enough to overcome the weight of the chain.
You’re not pulling chain from the ground line up to your capstan? You’re wrapping the ground line on the capstan, correct? Have you ever had concerns about the condition of that line? If so, is that when you send a diver down? Thanks.
You always say you are waiting for the line to sink. But if it sinks how do they pick them up?? Are they always connected at the dock and you work with the middle of the line and not the end??
Hi Tristan, good video, (edit; did not read the pinned message) THE LINE STAYS ATTACHED TO THE DOCK ALL THE TIME, so if you leave the dock, you can just drop the line, the next one just pickup the line from the dock-ring again... Lots off shipmen does not like the ground-line because it's always very dirty from laying on the bottom. If you have to pick it up yourselve from the stern to the bow, you can also clean your boat :-)
this is good stuff. I"m assuming these ground lines also assists in preventing the Yacht from moving side to side and making contact with other vessels?
If the ground end of the ground line is fixed on the concrete block, how do you end up with ground lines impeding on your berth that you have to maneuver around? Are those a different (presumably anchor-end ground lines)?
That has my riddle of ground lines solved. Thank you. I see the line does not float to avoid the ships screws. As they spend a lot of time in the water, do the lines get marine growth on them?
If Tristan keeps up these types of videos I will soon be able to captain my own super yacht :). Have you ever thought about going into the instruction side of super yachting?
Now the question is when do you call those long, stringy things lines and when do you call them ropes. And for extra credit, how many ropes are there on a boat. (I used to know the answer, at least for sailboats)
People get confused here because you did not clearly state that the line does not detach from the dock. When you grab that line you just follow it until you reach the chain itself and attach there or (in some cases) until you get the desired tension on the rope and attach your own rope there via “special” knot. As the line does not detach from the dock, when you release it (throw it into the water) it goes back to how it was in the begining.
Good morning Tristan , i'm curious as to when you'll be getting AWOL back into the water ? Love the channel and the content, thank you for all you do !
So plenty of (sinking rope) rope on the ground line so it is always pretty parallel to the dock wall so it does get caught in the propellers when moving off - or is the ground line the first one dropped?
One quick question. If you use the capstan to tighten the line, do you leave the tension on the winch or transfer it to a cleat? If that latter, how to you transfer it without losing the tension? Many thanks, great videos!
3:36 Tristan, I'm not sure how the wife will appreciate you "rubbing one out" for all on your RUclips channel. I however, appreciate greatly the explanation! Thank you, Sir!
Awesome explanation Tristan. Now I must ask, are there divers near by or something for when a butter fingers drops the line in the water? Does it float or whats your procedure from there?
@@SuperYachtCaptain im talking about when you said sometimes there's no tender, so you walk the line from the stern to the bow... im sure there's been less responsible people than you guys that have dropped it. Please don't be rude man. Theres no need for that.
Apologies, it wasn’t personnel, just a little frustrating because it’s been asked so many times and it’s so simple. I obviously wasn’t clear in my explanation.
If I understand this and the video you linked to, there are two lines coming from the shackle at the end of the chain: one going to the quay, and one that the boat will tie off to. Is that correct?
Ok well done as normal mate, hey I hear you say their don't use the that method in the USA ... So what or how do their do then??? You do great work with your channel cheers from Aussie
Docking my VERY much smaller boat usually involves somebody jumping to the dock, with a rope in hand connected to a bow cleat. We call this the "spiderman rope." It is just short enough to not get into the screw if it is dropped into the water.
@@randyjude8346 Until it is connected to something it is a “rope”. And when you are explaining something to people that have no idea about, it is good to use a common words they understand and in the end just add the proper term.
@@randyjude8346 Over 8 years served on two diesel submarines and two nuclear submarines. I know the word "Line," I was an engine room guy and called 'em "ropes" to piss off the deck apes. "You guys deal with the ropes while I go downstairs and make the boat go. Don't forget to toot the whistle." At my age I no longer "jump" anywhere. I fancy myself as a comedian. Not everyone agrees.
What I would like to know is how do you keep the boat stationary while all of this is going on? If there is wind and current, the boat will not sit there while you re doing all of this.
The entire operation takes litterally few minutes. Because you secure the lines of the stern first, the boat is pretty much on place. Beside, you use the engines (going forward/back at minimum speed) to keep it in place, while these manouvres (securing the lines on the boulards) are completed. If the boat is too close to the dock, you loose the stern lines a little bit in order to help the operators on the boat to better reach and secure the line attached to the chain on the right spot, and then once again secure the stern lines at the right place/distance. Hope this little explanation helps.
great info...... ( random question ) > I'm curious I see that at these Docks you all literally have INCHES between boats .. Now most of these owners have all the money in the world why is everyone so close ?
Good point! I wear a pair of sturdy rubber gloves when handling them! Sometimes there are also small mussels on them, which will cut you for sure if you don't protect your hands. You can also use a boat hook to pick the pilot line up aft and hold them up while walking forward until you reach the part where you tie your boat on. Have also seen metal hooks with a handle that can be used. After tying up I usually take a bucket of water and a brush to clean the deck before the gunk dries!
Very nice video. I haven't watched Matt's video, but I've been trained on groundline moorings. :-) We were using a smaller boat (Bavaria 42), we grabbed the groundline like you described in the second part, however we didn't use the capstan to pull it tight, we used our engine to pull the boat backwards until the ground line was tight, the let out ground line until we were as close to the dock as we wanted to, tied our mooring lines, tied off the ground line, then shut down the engine. The weight of the chain now pulled everything tight and we were moored exactly where we wanted to be. :-) Fairly simple process, basically just playing with the weight of the chain and similar to what you'd do with the anchor when doing a mediterranean mooring without the ground line.
Great Question. That only happens in St Tropez. They make you 1st drop the anchor and usually you only get the ground line the next day if you ask for it and they charge you extra.
Jan 8, 2020. Good morning! Super Yacht Captain!! The million dollar question today is: Did you guys get married during the Christmas and the New Year Holiday? Steve Miller-Los Angeles.
Just to avoid confusion. The Ground line never detaches from the dock.
Of cause they are - with the boat's propeller by charterers or bad skippers 😉
😂😂 fair point
I got one of it on prop :)

Sometimes it is better to cross the stern lines so they act as springs to stop the boat slewing. a good explanation thank you.

Thanks Tristan, nice and concise. Went to Matts channel and watched the video as well. 👍👍
'As always' a fun and informative explanation.
More videos of technics will be great!! Thanks mate!! And how we said in my country "buena mar!"
Thanks for that!! Great example of how to dock... Thanks!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Great video about tie downs. Especially, this was good to know outside of the U.S. when docking a yacht.
Great Video. I love your technical explanations. Please go on producing these kind of content.
Thanks Tristan, it's more clear now.
Your art work is priceless! 😅
I wish I'd seen this video a couple of years ago when I started watching yacht stuff. This perplexed me quite a bit.
In the Abacos , Bahamas a Bahamas moor is similar but an anchor is used at the bow.

Therefore you need to have a way to secure them that even if they move the will not go far away as dull as it sounds :-)
Add-on question: Is the Mother Chain then a free-floating (or sinking) object? Or is it secured to something else is the harbour?
@@9VARZ Thats depends on the harbour. In most places its just between the concrete blocks.

Nice one skipper, maybe explain also ‘dipping the eye’ on the shore bollards for multiple yacht ropes on same bollard for ease of release. 🤔

Wouldn’t want to see the harbour masters face after accidentally dropping the line in 🤣
The line is never untied from the dock.

Esysman has a video about this in Monaco harbour where the line from the yacht is attached by a scuba diver working for the port.
Pull the ring light closer and adjust exposure. Great vlog channel!
Thanks for the advice
I've seen some where the boat throws a line to a diver and they attach it to the block.
Do you ever have to use your anchor as the ground line or do all the ports have ground lines installed? Also, do you ever have a problem getting the line straight and tight with the weight of the chain wanting to pull down and keep a curve or are your capstans strong enough to overcome the weight of the chain.

Some ports that aren’t maintained well get a lot of growth. The ground lines get nick named *Slime lines

I might do one day. Part of my Job during my Marina Marbella days was teaching clients.
good job your a captain as youll never be an artist but nice to see how things are done and well explained
If there is no tender assistance how do you avoid getting the groundlines tangled in your boat propellors?
Is this the whole story? When you run the ground line through the fairlead, isn't the net tension off the yacht's centerline?

How do you cast off without the stern drifting towards the dock?
Drop stern lines 1st the ground line will pull you forward

Not covered: what do you do with a ground line which is covered with mud from resting on the bottom?
Good point! I wear a pair of sturdy rubber gloves when handling them! Sometimes there are also small mussels on them, which will cut you for sure if you don't protect your hands. You can also use a boat hook to pick the pilot line up aft and hold them up while walking forward until you reach the part where you tie your boat on. Have also seen metal hooks with a handle that can be used. After tying up I usually take a bucket of water and a brush to clean the deck before the gunk dries!
What happens if the ground line is dropped to the seabed?
but arent it two lines bow?
Very nice video.
I haven't watched Matt's video, but I've been trained on groundline moorings. :-)
We were using a smaller boat (Bavaria 42), we grabbed the groundline like you described in the second part, however we didn't use the capstan to pull it tight, we used our engine to pull the boat backwards until the ground line was tight, the let out ground line until we were as close to the dock as we wanted to, tied our mooring lines, tied off the ground line, then shut down the engine. The weight of the chain now pulled everything tight and we were moored exactly where we wanted to be. :-)
Fairly simple process, basically just playing with the weight of the chain and similar to what you'd do with the anchor when doing a mediterranean mooring without the ground line.

Aren‘t there harbours using divers to provide you with the bowline?
Great Question. That only happens in St Tropez. They make you 1st drop the anchor and usually you only get the ground line the next day if you ask for it and they charge you extra.
Why don't you use a 360 camera?
What’s the mother chain’s purpose?
that was well explained but do you get charged for that type of docking i wonder
How does the harbor retrieve the line when you are departing and let the ground line go into the water?
It’s always tied or spliced to the dock. Watch it again or watch Matt’s video
When you leave and drop the line how do they recover it from the seabed
It never gets released from the dock
Problems with lighting ? ........
