- Sailing out of a new harbour in a new boat can be daunting. This video shows you the sort of things you need to consider when leaving a large commercial harbour like Portsmouth.

I'm from Portsmouth and have a dream to sail in and out of the harbour one day soon, thanks for posting this.
You are very welcome. And good luck, hope you make it.
Thanks for another really useful video. I must confess that last time we came out from Gosport I lost concentration coming through the harbour entrance and found myself in the middle of the channel with a large car ferry just behind me. As you can imagine, quite rightly, I wasn't popluler. However, KHM (as it is now) called us and we got out of the way and apologiesed. They were very gracious and I was less than impressed with myself. Hopefully leasson learnt!
I would be fibbing if I said something similar hadn't happened to me many years ago.
Thanks for watching.
Merci beaucoup, thank you very much, very helpful for wet legs... from Switzerland

Really like ur videos ur very knowledgable. Never understood the small boat channel there, always seems like a free for all.....even in ur vids yachts r passing either side of each other...red to red when head on, surely?
I’ve done that passage countless times but still learnt new things. Thanks 🙏
Thanks Richard, much appreciated. Thanks for watching
Interesting! :) Nicely done!
Was tempted to give you a call out arrow as we went past Haslar 🤣🤣
Haha! :) That would be a surprise :)
thankyou for this video, we did this at the end of October, and it was quite choppy once we were out of harbour, you also need eyes in back of your head, to see whats going on all around....
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you had a good trip.
Always can learn from your videos John and Shabena! Many thanks... 👌
Thanks Steve - that means a lot. We’ll see you for a beer next time we’re in Cobbs Quay.
Brilliant thank you 👍
Your welcome. Thanks for watching
Great video very informative thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I like your videos, full of information
Thanks

Yet another brilliant video. Excellent editing and production quality. You are a very clever chap. Have you professional training in film production. You are giving an excellent service to small boat sailors and motor-boaters on the south coast.
I must check your channel and see if you have made a similar video to and from Cobbs Quay in Poole Harbour.
Looking forward to further videos to watch while I endure the long wait for my new boat!
Hi John thanks for the compliements ;-)

Enjoying watching your videos. A great resource. As you mentioned in this video how the entrance can get a bit rough. I did a little video of the flooding tide

Nice video. I bet the dredger coming out at the end got a bit splashy at the pointy end.
Thanks for watching
