Hi guys, thanks for the comments. Yes it was a very early morning rude wake up call! Herford Sailing Club have actually been in touch with us since to apologise and even bought us some coffees!
Glad it turned out OK! We also waited over a week to round Land’s End and when we did, the weather forecast was incorrect. As we rounded, we got blasted with F6 northerlies! Hope your passage is smoother!
I'm loving this journey because you're going to places we've never been. Ponzance looked awesome. What bloody idiots Auburn Lass were. Hopefully they or someone sees this who knows them and asks them to apologise, probably no insurance. Makes me so cross. Great video and loved the anchorage ⛵️🥰
Thanks for the nice comments, and glad you enjoyed the video. Hereford Sailing Club have since been in touch to apologise on behalf of the crew. Thanks for watching!
Love Helford River. One of my favourite places to sail. Shame it was spolit by the incident with the other boat. It would be polite to share details in case there was an issue.
Crikey. I have seen auburn lass in Dun Laoighaire marina before. We had a Scottish yacht smack into us early morning in port Erin. We ran out in pjs to push boat off us and get fenders between us (our 3 boys were still small and having breakfast) We called a pan pan because the weight of the vessel was starting to push us towards the broken pier under the water. RNLI station as you know is just across from the anchorage. They were brilliant. Other vessel never said sorry or thanks for our help they just fecked off.
Hi Guys it wasn't great at the time but the crew owner of the boat has contact us since and we are all good now. The RNLI was amazing . Where our you sailing at the moment

Thanks for watching and the comment. We didn't have the boat lifted, but we did have it checked, and no damage that we can see. Hereford Sailing Club have been in touch with us since the incident and apologised and kindly bought us coffees!

When you make a pan-pan or any other call on VHF you contact the Coastguard, not the RNLI. The Coastguard make the decision based on their local knowledge and don't rely on visiting sailors to take a guess. Lee shore, potentially no propulsion = pan-pan call.
Thank you Alistair, you are completely right, there are some people who haven't got a clue what they are talking about! Thank you for commenting David & Helen
Not sure what route you are taking but on your journey if you head along the Dorset coast pop into Lulworth Cove, it looks tight as you approach it but opens up, there are mooring buoys and a decent anchorage.
Thank you for the info and for watching the video. Yes we have been to Lulworth Cove, and are heading clockwise now. We are heading back to the Isle of Man!
Auburn lass has an Ais transmitter, so if you need to, their info is quite easy to obtain. Pretty bad show on their part. Quick google and they appear to be members at Hereford Sailing Club 😊
Thank you for commenting and watching! Thanks for the details, Hereford Sailing Club have reached out to us to apologise, and kindly bought us some coffees as well!
its a lovely anchorage normally. i hope you got a response from the idiot crew of Auburn. The RNLI need support, so spread the word, Fund raise if you get the opportunity.
How stupid can people be. They move to where you are , to close , than drop an anchor and wait. These morons don’t know about anything .. what about the circle needed to be safe on anchoring. Why do people not learn about this.
In a lee shore situation with a potentially damaged/fouled prop, and especially with another vessel impinging, a pan-pan call is appropriate. A pan-pan call is for a situation where assistance is needed but there isn't immediate danger to the vessel or life. A situation like that could easily become much more serious very quickly which would make it too late for assistance to arrive. It's easy to be critical when not in the situation and it's not your boat at risk.
@@turbinia Potentially damaged ? Well, starting the engine and seeing if the boat has drive would've been my first call. If not, then on the radio for assistance.
Im afraid this an appalling use of the RNLI. Two Mark1 vessels for that? The LB is for dire emergencys only. All u needed to do once free was sail to a bouy and then sort it out... phone a friend.
@@turbinia Worlds gone mad. Firstly hes way too close to those rocks to start with so not the other boats fault. Its called a sailing boat and hes got two flippin grt sails. Way to many people needing help thru lack of 'Seamanship'.
Great video. The Helford is lovely. You handled yourselves really well in an awful situation. It's great there was no damage.

Hi Guys! Thanks for the comment. We eventually got round and made it to the Isles of Scilly. Hope your sailing is going well! David and Helen.
Absolutely unbelievable. What a bunch of muppets on Auburn Lass :(
Thanks for watching and commenting, hopefully we don't encounter this again in the future!

@ not sailing. In the yard Arzal, south Brittany. Plan Atlantic France, Spain and Portugal for 2025.
Merry Christmas and safe new year
I really like the fact that your video is lots of dialogue .
Hi Sandy, thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the video, and hope you enjoy more to come! David and Helen.
Home port is Milford Haven. We used to berth there but don't know them.......Hope you don't encounter them again on west coast as you pass.

I’d be having her lifted and get the prop and shaft checked, at their expense. At least you have video evidence

If you look up Hereford Sailing Club, it seems that Auburn Lass operates on a shared ownership basis. I would contact Hereford Sailing Club.
Thanks again for watching and the comments! Hereford Sailing Club have been in touch to apologise on behalf of the crew. Thanks for sharing the info.
Yes, name and shame and perhaps a visit. I know i would😮

They are from milford marina I believe so easy for your insurance company to contact them
Thanks for the info - Hereford Sailing Club have since been in touch on behalf of the crew and offered their apologies. Thanks for watching!

Yes it was a lovely anchorage, we were there for 4 days, and then this happened. Absolutely about the RNLI! Thanks for commenting and watching!
How stupid can people be. They move to where you are , to close , than drop an anchor and wait.

Why do people not learn about this.
Thank you for commenting MonkPetite and following our journey David & Helen
Can't understand why you made a pan pan call and had lifeboats escort you. Was this before you was able to start your engine and move safely away ?

Ridiculous waste of RNLI time money and resources! Did no other boats offer help or assistance. You need more training
