This is a whole new meaning to ‘long line’ 😲
Incredible boat and very informative series. I look forward to sailing like this soon.
Very interessting, thank you! This explains the drums of ropes on the boat :-)
If I didnt have a family to support or if I won the lotto I'd do anything to go out to sea with Skip for a long term or around the world voyage.
Thanks! Bahamas anchoring style is also a good option to explore if less time available. For example You drop the bow anchor and release (straight) 200' ft line, then drop stern anchor and tie the end of the line through the bow also, then pick up the the 1st. Bow line 100' feet and you are anchored in the example with 100' feet both bow and astern yet both lines are tied to the boats bow thus the boat would just swivel around in place in a tight circle with any wind change.
great to see the capstan paying out the chain using gravity. seeing people use the motor just exhibit their lack of engineering sympathy and sensitivity in feeling the set. fine videos,
4:45 "would have liked something bigger" than a 1/2 ton boulder. he is the expert, but man that pin down seems like something to do if you are staying for a week or two
This seems remote but what if another boat comes in? Do you adjust your lines to let them have a spot or send them away? What if they came in when you were away and fowled you lines or at night?
What are the warps for on the foredeck? I suspect sea anchors of some sort?
My question is answered via your anchoring video.
Now you spend all night praying that another boat doesn't come into the same anchorage either at night or with low light, not see your lines, and cause real problems. Oops! Well, hey, at least it will be exciting and interesting.
That crossed my mind as well but, the remoteness of this place comes into play.
Please lecturing me so I can learn when I have a boat like your and thank you! : What happens when the wind direction blows on the side of your boat?
Thinking... with all the ropes (two in front), why do you need an anchor for? Interesting videos. Interesting gear you have on board. Keep up the good work.
When setting up drop the hook then run a stern line ashore - you're safe. Then rig the other lines to stop the boat sheering around. When departing; all lines of except the windward stern line and then coordinate dropping the last line and shortening the anchor.
Apart from everything Chris Harris mentioned, it has to be good insurance
Does the 74 ft ever get wet inside from water over the deck
Whats the etiquette for night time, in this situation just an anchor light probably isn't enough to ward incoming vessels.
yeah, exactly what I was thinking.
An anchor light is perfectly adequate. There are so few vessels around and there are no towns so any light is immediately noticed. It is very unlikely that somebody would come into those anchorages in the dark anyway; they would have to have local knowledge, and in the conditions where a night approach were possible they would see you well enough.
If you are concerned put light sticks on the line. We filled holes we dug in Iraq with those. Special forces guys tend to ignore caution tape...
all I could think was the line fouling from the drum as they motored out, and the lady with no gloves. . ouch!
What is the diameter of the Poly lines ?
Please elaborate on the type of line used when tying off to shore. It looked to be a polypro line....is that correct? I am not sure of the stretch factor of Poly line vs. Nylon but I know it floats.
+Bob Jones it is poly prop
Poly floats
Interesting idea.
But not too practical for people with smaller boats (for the amount of rope...)
And I wonder what would happen if another boat comes seeking shelter without noticing all the lines in the water (at night, for example).
What does the next boat who needs this anchorage do?
He probably doesnt see another boat all year.. Too far from the Bahamas
i know nothing about sailing . so can someone please tell me . if in ruff sea is a yacht more stable from tipping over with a sail up or no sail .
usually more stable with mainsail up. This guy takes videos of sailboats leaving a marina with a very rough inlet. they have their mains up most of the time:

@@music-jj2pl thank you very much for your reply . seems to be hard to get an answer to a basic question .you are the first . it looks to me from the vid there is less chance of tipping over with sail down . as i say in my question i know nothing about sailing . so was not trying to be thick . just seemed to me that with no sail to blow you over to the side and a keel in the water . it would be less likely to tip
Wow, how much line to bring on a boat?! 😉
4 times 120 meters
Really enjoyed this series..one question though . Earlier in the series Skip stated that all his deck winches are manual to keep things simple and reliable yet in this video the deck winch is clearly electric ?
They're using the windlass. On some windlass you have a winch that you can use. It's not used for sail handling
@@DrAsamuel Thanks for the reply !! Cheers
I've decided I want to have Bertie's Baby.
LMAO
rubbishnever put a rope around a wire line which is thin.
I can't respect or take seriously a boating person who is so lubberly as to use the term 'rope' instead of 'line' aboard a vessel. And this guy is supposed to be an expert in sailing and boat handling.
its exactly that sort of pointless nautical snobbery that convinces non-sailors that this stuff is rocket science
A good sailor isn't one who navigates a yacht to Cape Horn he is one who conforms to your naming conventions.
Hahaha I'm sure your respect is Skip's no. 1 ambition. Rope rope rope
Aboard the vessel it is exaclty a rope. When rope becomes emloyed then it is a line. Besides that isn't it more important to being understood and have fun from what you're doing?
You go post your videos sailing in the Southern Ocean and around cape horn in rough weather then!!! What have you done??
