Thanks Al. Every day on the water, matey.

[@ChrisSchroth]

Amazingly simple, was studying the scale earlier today and could not think of a way to help me remember it. Thank you very much and have a Happy New Year. Greetings from Bournemouth.

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Thanks Christoph. Glad it helped. Happy New Year!

[@ray8328]

Great tip thank you. (note there is a typo in the video for Force 8, answer is correct 35kts)

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Thanks for that - I need an editor : )

[@abdulkkhan5095]

Very very helpful- and so important to the navigator.

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Thanks Abdul. I'm glad that they are of some help.

Hi Folks. It's been brought to my attention by an eagle-eyed subscriber that there is a typo at 1:47. It should be 8-1=7 x 5 = 35 (as I say). But what is written is 8 - 1= 8 x 5 = 35. Apologies! It all still works as before.

[@sv.SeaExplorer]

Veeery good! 👍Thank you 👋🏻

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Thank you too! I get what you did there! : )

[@MCPDeveloper]

8-1= 7 but 8*5 != 35 ... might be worth editing.

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Good spot. Clearly a typo, but you're correct of course. 👍

[@MCPDeveloper]

@@FreeSailingTutorials Yes I thought it was (of course). I'm enjoying your videos. Let me know if you'd like comment deleted.

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

@@MCPDeveloper Not at all. Thank you for raising it. The last thing students need is confusing information. I appreciate the heads-up.
