With modern vectored propulsion and reliable and robust engineering, any ship and any aircraft can be made to turn in its own length and take up any direction. Every captain should learn some PID control systems and what is meant by Positional, Derivative, Acceleration and in the case of a steady wind blowing why he needs to apply integral control. Any person with logic, reason and rational thinking could do what we saw in this video, but if he had some mathematical background as to comprehend what I described, then he would do it a little faster, but anyone with logic, reason and rational thinking could do what this first officer did using only two shafted engines and two propellers. One can move the ship sideways with only that equipment on board, but knowing how to vector and push and pull in any direction with props and rudders. It is easier with bow thrusters and stern thrusters and main engines working together at the right phase/time/ direction and with the right magnitudes. I would like to see him doing that with the Cutty Sark and the Thermoply and HMS Victory, perhaps the Mary Rose or the Vasa! Good engineering makes Child's play of an Airbus 380 a Boeing 747, the Queen Mary and Queen Victoria. But then when one introduces human factors no amount of good engineers can help as over 60% of aircraft incidents are due to human pilots and in shipping, the Captain of the Concordia could have been a little wiser and more responsible!

You're leaving WD? You didn't even trade any paint with the navy ships while extricating yours from the dock. I thought you were Bosun. Musta missed where you got promoted.
Great question I should of probably mentioned this in the video, partly because of the weather window, Bay of Biscay is bit of a beast but main reason was for the tide time so we could get out.
Again a great video Tom. Thanks mate!
Thanks 🙏
Guys on the Pilot launch did a good job with the transfer , Chief Mate did well too !
You have some of the most incredible footage! Expertly edited with great music.
Thank you for the kind words
Final voyage?! Damn man, not going to lie I'll miss seeing you on WD. Going to a new boat? Or moving on to the next chapter?
Will reveal all in the next video.
Tommy I just love your show CHAMP, Amazing aventures.
YOU are the one on that ship
Nice one mate, looking forward to seeing what's to come...

Dope. good music always. When are you moving up to first officer
Yeah that’s the plan or second officer on a larger yacht.

I’m taking tests for USCG 200 ton, chyeah. Sounds like a good gig
For side thrusters, frog navy ships use a bloke in a boat 🚤 😂
Very nice, good ship handling to all.
Amazing video! Love your content! Looking forward to what’s next.

Will explain all in the next video
Nice job.....have you ever done that little bridge in St Maarten?
Few times,I love the Caribbean
wicked footage, well done mate
Thanks :)
Last voyage, I'll miss the old girl. Good luck in your future endeavors mate.
Thanks I’m going to miss her and the crew too, home and family for the last 3 years
Always in good weather...
More of Caitlin, the Bosun, please mate. Pretty please! 🤪👍🏻
Hey Tom, thanks for the video. Fast question, aren't you the bosun?
Not anymore :) passed on the torch to Caitlin. Will explain more in the next video
Another great video 🙌🏾
Thanks mate
Your deckhands need teaching what a meter is
Hey Tom, another great video! I have a question, why did they choose to leave at 1am? Only about weather? Or also for the water depth?
Great question I should of probably mentioned this in the video, partly because of the weather window, Bay of Biscay is bit of a beast but main reason was for the tide time so we could get out.
@@TomJoeSHOW thanks to answer!
Bro you need to upload more please
Working on it ;)
Liked and subscribed, what a great job to have!
dip your ensign to the french navy and watch them do a headless chicken trying to get into port
Haven’t ever tried this but always curious, they had enough on their plate as it was.
YEAH.not only did they have fuck all crew...they were all dressed for a bloody gale with floatation... Boy Scouts basically.
more vids with caitlin please
Has to be the hottest Bosun in the industry 😏
must be a lousy industry
Looking forward to finding out what your new adventure is, I reckon your joining Jared on the Ex Ecellence
Haha yeah sadly not but that sounds like the ideal gig
Great vids!! I just found this channel, hate to see you go. WD? "Western Digital"? is this the CEO?
Greats videos!!!!

Since when do you drive a yacht? Lol amateurs...
The man has a valid point
