these videos are fantastic. ive paid for ym online course and been really struggling due to the way the course is conducted. These videos are really helping me. Thankyou so much.
The only problem madam, is that when a vessel is pushing (not a composite unit situation) more than one vessel, or towing alongside more than one vessel, they don't show the navigation lights each one alone. If they're three vessels towed alongside, then they all show the side lights of one vessel and only one stern light. If you are pushing 3 vessels, the three show the side lights of one vessel on the extremities of the tow.
Quiz at 28:20 ... Question 10.... doesn't a vessel at anchor >50m have a lower light at the stern so this would be the starboard aspect? Or am I still confused?
Hi Mike - the NUC Day shape si the 2 black balls, the Aground day shape is 3 black balls and two inward facing triangles is commercial fishing/trawling. Glad you are enjoying the videos.

Gethin - glad you like them - let us know if we can help on any other subjects we also offer 1-2-1 sessions.
Best instructor on RUclips. Thank you for a clear and easy to remember video.
Kath as usual explains things simply and clearly
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this wonderful explanation - a great help for me to memorise the shapes and lights for my yachtmaster exam. ❤❤
On the minute 29, the test,
it is not the lights a vessel at anchor over 50m, from a PORT aspect, it is from a STBD (starboard) aspect
Thanks - already covered in a previous comment - the perils of presenting live!!
a really well explained refresher thankyou. Even if you have done all this before you soon forget it
Such a truly lovely voice.

Shouldn’t number 4 on the test have a red sidelight because we are looking at the port aspect?

I agree with you 😀
Hi Chloe - yes you are correct it should be the Starboard aspect - you are not confused - just mistyped on the slides - apologies for any confusion
These tutorials are quite superb. Thank you very much for the clarity, information and little tips for remembering things. Just excellent.
Fantastic! Thank you
Our pleasure!
Hi - I love this series of videos. Can I just confirm though - is the dayshape for NUC really three balls???? Should it read two balls ?? Cheers Mike
