For our fast cruise, we go to 90% of max (according to Volvo sustainable all day) and see between 15 and 19 knots depending on currents. Slow cruise is typically hull speed of 7.2 knots @ 1,800 rpm with slack current.
@@jayslupesky our port bow line (white-gold in the video) is a 50-footer. As we arrive, the Admiral routes it under the bowsprit and anchor, and then along the starboard side deck. I then get the ball along the starboard side of the cockpit without running it over, completely unashamed to try multiple times. :-). Depending on circumstances, she routes the line through the ring from the cockpit or steps onto the swim platform and does it from there. After that, she just walks it forward. I stand by to bump the engine into reverse, but that is rarely needed. If done right, she can go directly to the starboard bow cleat. But, once attached, we can work on fixing whatever needs fixing. She is careful to initially route the line so it will be outside of the rails and such. No entanglements.

Nicely done as usual. Thank you!

Great vid, as always!
@@srhawk454 thanks a bunch. Much appreciated.
Great video with beautiful scenery. Ignore that hater in the comments!
@@jayslupesky Thanks Jay. Much appreciated.
Curious, what have you found is your best slow cruise speed and best fast cruise speed and RPM?

@@mvemerson Thanks! I have the same boat at that aligns well. 👍
May I ask what method you use to pick up a mooring ball? We have tried several times, without success.

@@mvemerson I can envision that working...we will give it a try. Thanks!!
@@jayslupesky Good luck. Hopefully it works for you.
What a horrible AI impersonal video. Let a computer make your decisions for you? No thanks.
