Als je met zo een schip nog moet leren varen😢😂😅😊

Sehr gut erklärt.

I’ve been trying to get into a slip. She keeps pulling away 😂

Ken possible for you to show this quick stop from a different perspective? Looking at the crew was not helpful. Thanks

Awesome.

Shame there was no dockside shots of the mooring lines.

I love my K-light in the water...always struggled with the build though. My Klepper is a dream to build after doing the feathercraft.

Never heard about fixed mast steps? Unbelievable that the option is not even mentioned! They make for easy, safe and quick access all the way up and down the mast, always ready for you. You just need simple, suitable safety gear even if you are alone on the boat out at sea. But you obviously prefer being thrown around the mast if and when waves hit the boat. Go figure! I get that you don't want mast steps if you have a racing yacht, but most ppl go cruising, so extra windage and weight doesn't matter to them. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/4B2jvgrSiNc/w-d-xo.html

Actually anyone can put it together. I would love to see someone put it back in bag. Another half-ass video.

I have one for sail. The whisper. Easily keep up with a glass kayak stored in a custom backpack , go by train or Buss. Very stable too.

Or you could have just pushed the bow out while holding the stern line tight.

Nice and neatly done, many thanks.

Not a good idea Ken....

lol was this filmed in Penetangushine? .....at the :14 second mark it looks like my boat?

The filming was all wrong. As the boat backed up using the spring line, the camera should have been showing the spring line and how the crew member handled it. Unfortunate!

I Love night sailing 🌏🌎🌍⛵❤

I like the finish on the boat very nice and no paint to flake off.

Nice, elegant and quiet.

Ken...How do you get off if the vessel is 30 tons but has 1340 Hp each side..that's nearly 1700 Hp. Too much power to use springs. Bow thruster not powerful enough to do much either in even 10kts of wind...

We tried to get off out of our wharf yesterday with a 20-knot wind blowing us on, we couldn't seem to get the boat to turn out wide enough... something we don't normally have a problem with when we aren't getting blown directly on the side. I am not sure what else we could have done... we tried a spring from the stern to a cleat on the dock around mid-ship, tried a super short line, tried a line on the port cleet and driving forward, it would seem the boat would get to 30ish degrees and stop, we have an obstacle we need to get past. (you can see a video on my channel)... would you have any tips?

You wouldn't retort so glibly once watching a mate get dragged @ 4kts till the boat can get stopped, Eh?

Beautiful crew! 😊

Nice Vid! Question: With the stern line tensioned by the boat in reverse how does the crew take up the slack, when we've done this there is none.

Great Talk Regarding the west coast, how do you deal with all the crab pots and driftwood? Especially when there is a chop. Cheers

Je ne comprends pas l'Anglais alors je ne regard pas!!!

Nice simple explanation. Thanks, great job

A dockside shot of the procedure would have been the icing on the cake. cheers.

Would have liked to have seen the transient dock line as the slack was pulled in to see the technique of the rope on the dock. I have ideas of how to, but would have been a nice visual. Nice video overall. Very helpful.

Great video. Very well explained. I was thinking bow line to the dock, in gear forward with the rudder hard over so prop wash would push out the stern. Get the angle needed, then back away till clear, then straighten out and go forward. I'm going to try this.

Very nice video and explanation of how this works. I'm sure I will need to do this one day.

Now do it without the motor.

That was very eye opening. We have done some sailing on Lake Erie at night and enjoyed many of the things you talked about, but the photo plankton is something we are are really looking forward to seeing some day. Thanks for sharing.

love the video. a true sailer can continue to learn stuff his whole life if he tries hard enough. unfortunately there are plenty of morons out there who already know everything there is to now about sailing. most of them are are 20 years younger than I am and I love to learn new tricks like this. thank you

I bet this guy wears a raincoat in the shower.

Thank you very much for your experienced advice. D

How would you do this if the prop walk takes the stern to port?

I like your crew!

I haven't night sailed yet but I'm looking forward to it.

great in-depth video. how much did it cost you all up for the port fees and line handlers etc. ?

interesting approach. always good to learn new techniques. my boat has significant prop walk to port, so I would have used it to back out and off.

well done!

I don't little bit of night sailing and I found it quite scary I suppose it's one of them things you have to get used to

Chilling. Is it too low to show on radar? Understand you prob don't run your radar all the time but still.

I've never seen use of the halyard to pull up a MOB. Nice technique. Probably another video, but it would have been helpful to see the boat make the turn around maneuver under sail to pick up the MOB.

the blond has a nice ass

Great video, Thanks!

Great explanation and demonstration! Thanks!

great video. Thanks for sharing.

Long way from Dutchmans lol.

Nice lesson...although, large boats, should have bow and stern thrusters.
