Tristan, we love watching the SYC videos. I spent many good years in the South of France in the 80's (admittedly on refits on motor yachts, not crewing) but seeing what you do brings back great memories. Nothing changes, in a way, down there, apart from we used to have to occasionally run (sail) away from the French authorities when you didn't have a Green Card to work! If you ever come across MY Moonmaiden II, a.k.a MY Trafalgar on your travels down there, please give a nod to her. Gorgeous boat, although a bit old now. Did the refit in 1985 in Cap d'Ail and we had a hell of a time on her and in the bars around there (back when Flashman's was a bar). Fair winds to you all. Subbed and voted. Moosey
I really enjoy the how-to vids on your channel. Of course the beautiful interior and cool designs are awesome, but this how-to stuff answers lots of Q's for me. Great vids Tristan....have been a subscriber for weeks...good luck reaching 100k.
I am so glad TH-cam recomended this awesome chanel. Incredibly informative, great commentary onboard an absolutley gorgeous vessel. I was a Navigation Specialist in the U.S. Navy and dream of working on a yacht like this.
Hi Tristan, this is DV from spotting.tv. For outside recording you should really think about a wireless Microphone system. Because of the wind it is not effective to use the inbuilt miocrophone of the Camera only. Just get in Contact with us if you like to know more or are willing to do an interview with us. Cheers, DV
Thank you Barbara, it was good to see how to drop the anchor, I honestly thought that you just let the anchor go in one step,, Love the Vlog Tristan, thank you 👍🚢 ⚓️
Loved this one, very informative. Do you always use a whole numbers of shackles? I can see now how it’s easier to visually count shackles than meters of chain.
Thank you for yet another great informative video! Much much appreciated. Please keep this high quality content coming. I am sure you will reach 100k subscribers in no time.
One can SEE the importance of your 10-year when it comes to tending to the anchor locker and painting the shackle length colors. Easily visible as they fly round the windlass. A steady hand and watchful eye are shown. No room for loose clothing on a deck. Although your clothing looks sharp, it also serves a purpose in being safe to wear around moving parts. Thank you.
Perhaps you should have mentioned, that. Once the anchor is on the sea bed. You put the ships engine into astern. So you don't pile the anchor chain on top of its self, but spread it along the sea bed in line with the wind direction. And for course, help dig it in or 'set it'?
You dont need much to help the anchor to dig (or set) on this league of yachts. Just a minimum momentum will do the trick. Do not allow the chain to pile over the anchor is of paramount importance, indeed ..... Very good your comment. Your are a smart skipper. .😊😊
really enjoying your vlog! Just found it. wish I was young!, well, not really. Keep up the interesting chartering stuff.hay, ever been to BC. thanks Bill
Nice video on the process of dropping anchor . . . when i read the title though i thought you were coming into the bay near Anchorage. That is Anchorage, Alaska. I thought that would have been very cool to see that too. Guess not, LOL. Do you ever leave the Mediterranean, or even the south of France, Italy, etc? would love to see a video on a Trans-Atlantic crossing. :-)
Great video. Here's our personal question. We have 50' loa and haven't anchored yet. How do you recommend we learn, especially in quick currents of the PNW?
Hi, I subscrbed 2 months ago and really enjoy your videos. It would be good to see you sailing in open waters sometime. Whenever in the past on holidays to Southern Spain I take many sea trips. Maybe one day I can experience a holiday on your yacht. Hope you meet your target by 14th Sept. 2 days after my birthday. Regards from UK.
I have to commend you on the choice of your staff, very very professional and always very eager to please! And might I say a few are very beautiful as well lol! Never been on a yacht of any size but I could definitely see myself and my family loving your yacht! Hint hint wink wink ahahaha cheers
do you check GPS if the boat stays in place after dropping anchor or just get a cup of coffee and call it the day? how do you know other boats have the same length of chain out? maybe other have more chain out and their radius is bigger when the wind turns
Interesting. Not much different from anchoring my 45 foot rowing boat but you want to be damn sure the anchor isn't dragging with such a yacht! What ratio depth/chain do you use in under normal conditions? Are you backing up when releasing the anchor so that the chain isn't piling up at the bottom? ok, just saw somebody asking the same...
Hi Tristan. I saw you in a bar in Monaco with the tomandjoeshow a couple of days ago. Anyways, was wondering how you decide which anchor to use. Presumably when stern to it depends on the wind direction, but when free swinging, does it matter, or is it just whichever you like? Cheers, Tommy.
@@SuperYachtCaptain hahaha ... I was about to ask that .... if you release the chain stationary over the same spot, chances are the chain get tangled with the flukes of the anchor and them you have a big, useless ton of metal that can be a real problem for the crew. Very good question.
Personally I dont let the half but very slowly start to move from the beginning to allow the chain lay down in a orderly fashion on the bottom of the ocean. Very slowly. And just for few seconds. Then stop and the momentum takes care of the rest.
Nice video as always and nice scenery although it looks quite packed for my taste haha. One question maybe for another video, do you use any underway or zero speed stabilizers on AWOL? If yes I would be happy to see a video about them (your opinion on them and the procedure of their operation).
Wouldn't be dropping all 4 shackles at once to the seabed cause it to pile up down there without the anchor getting grip ? How about allowing the anchor to grip and pull back on the chain after ?
Why are there always cable bounded windlass controls and no rf-remote controls on bigger yachts? There should be a system on the market fullfilling all classification requirements 🤔 I love my rf-remote control for windlass and bow thruster. Makes live much easier, but I don't have to stick to a classification code.
Did the anchor dig in or did you just let the chain out ?.How about the black ball anchor marker near the bow? Are you sure toy are safe? Check your insurance policy in case of a at sea collision
I think in continental Europe you can not anchor (or sail, crew) yachts 200 mts closer to the shore and that is the mark. Only small tenders or jet skies and in some places there are also a channel for them. Right captain?
So if the electronics goes out when you are not close to port and a storrm comes up can you manually drop anchor...where is that video. Do you and your team practice for such scenarios, dry runs in case of freak emergencies?
thanks for sharing again. I love these video's Idea's for topics in coming video's: explain the different roles on board (e.g. barbara's role as the chief vs a deck hand) let us meet the rest of the crew (and their roles) How do you find your clients and has social media a part in that How much time do you need between 2 clients to clean and prepare the ship for coming trip How do you do your shopping (not only groceries but also cleaning stuff etc) That must be impressive for one week and supermarkets often are not in a port Does your clients choose where to go (considering the arrival of the next clients) I hope that helps, don't use it all in one big video, we love continuity :-)
Hello Captain Tristan i just would like to ask that if u dont mind so one side of chain always longer than the other side so specificly which side should be longer chain and whats the purpose of this? Thank u very much advance Best Regardas...
Wallace McDonut 5-7 meters is when you use partially or completely a rope instead of chain. Also, generally, the 5x times rule mentioned in the vid is the upper end of what is usualy suggested. 3-5 times the depth is the usual usage, depending on the space you have.
I like the vids, the improvement in production & content over time... appreciate the desire to be & do better... great job. The operation, care, and attention to details is very impressive. It's hard to get past the phrase "super yacht". It seems to be a phrase meant to feed an ego rather than describe an actual physical attribute. Yet, the behavior of you & the crew does not seem ego driven. Making the name seem even more disconnected from the actual content. Seems there is likely a more specific term to describe the type of ship being sailed. Motor Yacht Class XX or something similar.
Since the AWOL is listed for sale, are you and the crew going to remain with the yacht if the new owners ask, assuming the pay is the the same if not better that is?
@@michaelmccarthy4615 why would that be? That would be like having a house that is always on the market. I have looked at other yachts and they don't appear to be for sale with any brokers. I didn't look deep into them so I could have missed that they are listed as for sale but I still don't understand why all yachts would be listed. I get it that if the price is right everything is for sale.
@@cwdgoff houses generally appreciate. Yachts depreciate rapidly and have very high maintenance costs and many fixed costs that dont go away. Any owner would listen to you at a fair price. Many nonessential luxury belongings have high turnover....
jcheck6 thank you. I have always had keen interest in aviation never had the money until a few years ago. If you can get a trial lesson you will love it. Don’t think letting some one drive your bus is good idea 😂
Something that simple but is not, at least for me, is to estimate the area or ring necessary to allow the ship to swing around the anchor. This is not a Boston whaler. When you get a congested harbor ,it is a main concern to me. Electronic help is important once on anchor to make sure you are within the safe area . Also others boats are a mess, as they dont pay attention if they are dragging or moving off their limits. Sometimes others are the big problem at anchor time.
It is important for new M/Y owners/captains, to take the rules with a grain of salt and think critically. What you really want, is that the chain 5-10 meters away of the anchor is still touching the seabed. If not, there is a chance that a gust of wind will lift the anchor and then you drag anchor. In shallow waters, say 3 meters deep, the 5X rule may not be good enough... Modern 60ft M/Y have a flybridge, probably a permanent canopy on the flybridge, and have lots of windage. If you pay out 15 meters of 12 mm chain, the weight of this chain is max 50-55 kilos. High windage boats will easily pull up 55 kilos of chain (and subsequently unsettle the anchor) in a force 5-6 situation. In this case, if I have the radius I would pay out probably 40 meters of chain, or chose to go deeper, which usually means further away from the shore. But first priority is safety, not the convenience of being close to the beach. It is always safer, if there is a possibility of attaching a line, or even better, two lines to the shore, because then you can pay out lots of chain without worrying about running into other anchored boats.

I love how you snuck past everyone else and grabbed the best spot to anchor. Great video.
You can tell, Barbara would be great to work with!
She's adorable too. Looks great, especially for being 36, and I love her accent.
Fantastic lady officer! and has more arm muscles than a lot of guys I know of! ;)
hi. i'm a captain o a sailboat. ! We need Barbara in there!!! jejejeje You are a good captain and you have an amazing crew
Great vid. How about a GoPro on the anchor chain as it goes down. Interested to see how the anchor works.
Great video! Arbema looking fine in the background there.
Barbara is totally brilliant.
Really good when you work with such competent team members.

Hello Tristan, I would have a question to you. When the anchor is out in the water, do you go stern to check if the anchor is safe?
great few videos guys love how the hole team is involved in them
Cool video. Question: how far from your usual places (Cannes, Monaco, etc.) have you taken AWOL?
Captain, as always I love ALL your Vlogs, please keep them coming. And I am a subscriber, good luck getting to your goal!! Thanks again!!
Great video I’d love to see more things like this.
Do you ever get guests who want to help with the ships operation? Do you allow guests in the bridge to observe and learn?
One can SEE the importance of your 10-year when it comes to tending to the anchor locker and painting the shackle length colors. Easily visible as they fly round the windlass.

How do you clean up the chain when it is being retrieved? Mud? Barnacles? Menacing growth? It looked almost new. Thanks for a great video.
Use the anchor washdown ?

Do you use some sort of chain stopper such as a devil's claw? Or do you just hang off the windlass?
Is there an alarm on the chain-locker or is there some other reason for the captain to know that the locker is open?
safety system so a guest can't fall in the open hole.
Cool video guys
When picking up anchor, do you need someone in the chain locker to sort the chain properly or you just leave it as it is? Cheers

Just curious as to why you don't back down and lock your anchor in to the sea bed?
what were the yellow buoys on the port side before you anchored?
Probably marking a 'no go' area, for larger boats.
I think in continental Europe you can not anchor (or sail, crew) yachts 200 mts closer to the shore and that is the mark. Only small tenders or jet skies and in some places there are also a channel for them.
Right captain?
Cool. Do you actively back up on the anchor to drive it in?
Good luck on the 100k! 👍
So if the electronics goes out when you are not close to port and a storrm comes up can you manually drop anchor...where is that video. Do you and your team practice for such scenarios, dry runs in case of freak emergencies?

Dam Best vids ever..thank you
Why do Awol and other yachts have 2 anchors? Is it just an esthetic matter? Are there the same length?
Can you do a video on security that yachts have. Obviously you can't disclose all aspects......
Swing circle/drag do you use a paper chart or stick eith ECDIS?
Great video... and a great promotion with a charity donation. Maybe you could also run a prize for a day onboard for a lucky subscriber??

Barbara is a pro, she knows her stuff. Again, just too bad she has gone now.
Tristan, do you also stern to drop the anchor?
Great one captain checking on the what a map wow it's chart sweetheart
Great video. Just would love to know how you go about booking a cruise with yourselves or are you wholly private? Many thanks
Question You didn't mention backing down on the anchor to see if it has set. Do you do that on a Super Yacht? Just sayin RC

The back down is the tell all if you are really at anchor or you just tossed over some weight. Got to make sure the parking hook is secure. :)
If you looked closely, you could actually see the captain going in reverse, although he never mentioned it, or why he was doing it.
@@SuperYachtCaptain do you also test the anchor - and if yes, how much power?
Aaaaah, the winch connection wheel thing slowly winding the winch down towards the anchor thing was making me nervous :o
What were the results of your propeller tuning? Do you have an episode which shows the engine RPM resulting from the tuning?
Hi Albert,
Check vlog 61, released on 09/April.
First time in the water after the refit incl. test of how the tuned propeller work.

do all captains have a set of rules to follow to drop anchor, or is each yacht different depending on the captain and the crew

Why isn't the anchor centrally operated from the helm?

Don't worry Matt sooner or later some idiot will hit the dislike button. That's the nature of the beast when it come to the internet.

So, the procedure of anchoring is the same on any size super yacht (be it AWOL or Azzam)?

What does four shackles mean?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If I heard it well in the video, 1 shackle is 27 meter. So, four shackles means ab. 100 meter of anchor-chain to be dropped into the water.
What’s a shackle? Asking for a friend
Its navy termonology for the lenght of chain released in water. 1 British sackle is 27.5 m and 1 Holland sackle is 25 m
That’s what she said! 😳
