The boom is useful for getting rid of crew you no longer need to pay.

Great info. Spot on

So cool!

Great tip 4life love it :)

It is nice, I like!

Name of the app?

Lets dance

🔥🔥🔥

Smart

Nice

Very good advice

Thanks

Great idea will try this tacking

love it amazing

Good luck :)

It’s all about the sweet spot 🫶🏻🏄🏼‍♀️

Remember you said see you tomorrow 😌🙏🏽🦄

It’s 1! The windward boat 🫣

I would argue that you learn more from a video like this where mistakes are made and the conditions are not constant than you do watching Mr Perfect do a textbook docking in zero wind and current. Bravo.

Many thanks pro, may i ask if you provide private lessens on catamaran sailing ?

Shoutout to Topmast in Kingston, ON where I just went through prep week for the RYA Yachtmaster exam. They refer to the maneuver you describe here as the ‘Falling Leaf’ because of the pattern the boat makes in the water as you are drifting downwind towards your person in the water. Back in the day, I was taught the figure eight and could nail it every time but it’s impractical in the real world. The Falling Leaf just works, thank you Fintan Hartnett!

Now to make it even easier, look up jiggler syphon. Its what i have on my boat.

I really liked it. Looks like a real / actual situation. Many videos are made in perfect (no wind, no swell, lots of room, many helping hands) situations, this was done in a difficult environment. Really appreciate expressing and sharing the real / actual situations. There is no competition here, just to learn from and really thankful for taking time and energy for your work and sharing this. I really enjoy such kind of videos (docking, anchoring, motoring, reefing, navigating, route planning, maintenance / repair, hacks, etc) from real and challenging situations / environment. To me this video was really valuable, really thankful and wishing you all the best.

subtitles with the flashing word highlight made it pain to watch -> Didn't watch

good video, I liked to see both throttles and how the boat behaves. Would be also nice to see catamaran tricks when using also the rudders with dual engines

Very confusing video. I wouldn't want to have an instructor like that. Sorry.

If you're learning choose another video 😂🤣😂

love your content on instagram and youtube. could't agree more on the positive effects of sailing!

Ha ha, good one. If in doubt, throw it all out, lol We went from a plough anchor as it did just that. We now have a mantus M2. What a difference.

I think 1

The SF bowline is so beautiful, it moved me to tears. ❤

i was on this dock last season, just a quick stop to dump trash and fill some dinghy gas, wind was light but surge was similar to this day. so exposed i thought my cleats were gonna snap off the boat, I got outa there as soon as possible

If is a cat that doesn't mean not to use rudders at all

You call it shitshow (btw. I like the expression to). I used to call it "Murphy's law" - what ever can go wrong, will go wrong! Better be prepared! 😂👍

Thanks bro! 😂 I know 15 different bowlines, I know 5 different tricks to tie a standard bowline, but your trick was completely new to me. 👍👏🤣

Your gear boxes won't last very long using them like that

When we were visiting last winter, we arrived on a red flag day. It was super easy for us to sail north less than 2nm, grab a transient slip in the harbor in Spanish Town and take a taxi down to the baths. It costs a bit more than a mooring, but it's zero stress, and it's a beautiful hike down from the ticket office.

It’s a great method once you know your boat well enough to be able to heave to at just the right moment to come to a halt at the right spot to drift down onto the casualty. The engine can help a bit but in windy conditions it won’t be enough to counter the power in the sails. My suggestion is that you try this as a first attempt if you are sailing upwind at the time. You can send a mayday, prepare a lasso line, get the engine on, mark the MOB on the plotter, throw a line, … and by this time you will know if you are going to reach the casualty. If it doesn’t work you are very close and can furl the jib for your standard figure of 8 method.

Better than geography class 😊

Love the lesson. Not sure about the Scooby Doo font! ; )

Make it a condition that everyone on board wears a safety line and uses it

I always thought it would be a good idea to have a ring out a 100 yrd behind the boat at all times just in case. Maybe the man can catch it maybe not, depends but still makes sense. Cruise ships should do it as well.

Why use cleat hitch when there is OXO ? If you like it more complex and inconvenient but "looking" more secure? then use cleat hitch. If you value good seamanship - OXO. Ever tried to untie cleat hitch with one hand in a hurry? good luck with that great knot

This is what John Kretchmer and several other sailors I know also advises. Heave to and turn on the engine. It seems pretty obvious to everyone except boards that decide what beginning sailing lessons should include. These assume no engine, but also quick recovery. They also assume one person on board who needs a bit of distance to spot and line up on the MOB for recovery. It's absolutely reasonable given a general case. Heave to and turn on the engine is just more practical. People do die when they fall off boats. One of the biggest problems is unless you know where they are, a head in the water can be very difficult to spot, even if they're waving. One important MOB practice is to immediately throw everything on hand that floats into the water. This is not just for the MOB to use for flotation but to create a debris field that is easier to spot. (I used to ocean swim. We'd get on the beach and then look to see others swimming around the last pier. So they were 100 150 yards out. We knew they were there, and where to look for them, They were still difficult to spot and easy to lose.) I wasn't even taught how to heave to. I'd read about it. Seemed simple enough. Added it to my To Try list. One day solo on a 28 foot charter I tried to go pee in the head -- impossible. So I went back up top. How do you heave to...? Turn into the wind until your jib backs. Everything just stopped. Easy. And in a monohull, you can just turn the wheel and wait and the boat will slowly turn around pick up enough speed that you can steer right back onto your course. You don't have to change the sails. On catamarans it doesn't seem to work like this. We always had to turn on an engine. When I was qualifying with a good instructor, he brought along a friend, not a sailor. This fellow was to be my spotter. (My center cockpit boat is high off the water so visibility to something in the water at the bow is poor.) He had no spatial sense. Everything was '50 feet' he didn't point in any effective way. I'd line up for a starboard recovery, but the float would always be on the port side. I finally ignored him and recovered my float. Heave to, engine on. And Life Sling. This is a tethered float on a long line, that sits in a plastic 'box' near the stern. "Man overboard!" Toss the float, heave to, which also turns the boat. The way the Life Sling works is: you sail a circle around the MOB, the floating line of the Life Sling wraps around them, they grab on. I'd suggest making a better video. It's needed.

makes a lot more sense than the figure 8 technique they taught me... which is better for making sure that the crew can actually manuver a boat. but it depends on what course you are on when someone falls off. if you are sailing to windward, this would be perfect. if you are on a run, you'll already be down wind of them before you realize.... but i think it would still be a good first move. stop the boat as much as possible, before you get far from the MOB and you have a chance to think about what to do next
