We are thinking of participating in 2025 in the Performance Cruiser 1 Spin class. The most fun sounds like anchoring out and staying on the boat. It sounds like quite a few boats do that. Is there a good place to tie up dinghies during the race day? If any former participants are up to chatting about the experience a bit, my email is in my channel.

Gentlemen thank you very much for sharing your experience with the few of us who discovered this excellent seminar. Sharing your techniques is incredibly generous! saving lives is the prerogative of anyone who takes to the sea whether for work or fun!

What a mess

Thank you

Thanks

What do they mean by Flogging vs Feathering?

It occurred to me on the electrical fire... Vehicles have had fusible links on the battery for decades now but there for sure is not one on my boat. That would have stopped that fire by removing the juice as soon as the draw exceeded the rating of the fuse. On a boat with a battery bank we are not looking for a whole bunch of power at once. We want a little power for a long time so a low rated fusible link is perfect especially if we are using a separate battery for starting the engine. This would be especially important since the fusebox is a few feet at least from the battery bank. There are also higher rated fusible links that would work for a starter.

Excellent. Been in a blow or two before decent weather forecasting and this is great info.

Midline lift using a halyard is a great idea. Thanks for these safety enhancing ideas.

Thanks for the info. Which spray hood do you recommend? I have a West Marine off shore vest that does not have a hood and I need to buy one? Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!! Thank you

"tuck it in and shake it out" - once more in English please. This video should be titled understanding Gulfstream weather for sailors.

May I say, another good tool or equipment for your lifevest you didn't mentioned, is the "LifeSafer". If someone is unconscious in the water, for the crew on bord it's very difficult to catch the lift-teather with the boat hook. The "LifeSafer" is a thin, lightweight, floating, very strong dyneema-loop, 3m (10feet) length. This loop is attached to the lift-teather of the lifevest and is a 3 m extension. When the vest inflates, the LifeSafer floats on the water and can be caught very easily with the boat hook. The LifeSafer can be directly attached to the halyard to lift the person out of the water. I recommend this piece of equipment for every lifevest, it will make the recovery much easier. Greetings from Germany ah

Anyone know where to find the boarding LRSC boarding ladder that Rich recommended?

This is terrific. You went out and did all this. (UA-cam videos where someone just repeats what they learned in their textbook is not helpful. What I've found is that a lot of How To's are based on doing something for the first time. I've learned a great deal more watching a skilled person doing something even if they aren't the least bit articulate.) I've made a written a step by step from your video to help me remember the steps. I strongly advise doing this (using your images) and request that the Storm Trysail Club does this. (I won't post my how to because I've only done this a couple of times using a life jacket as the MOB, so I claim no expertise - except as a learner and a teacher.)

What an important topic that so few practice.

An exercise to few practice. This presentation is well produced and very informative. I have been looking for a device to lift a disabled person aboard and the Lifesling seems to fit the need. I subscribe!

Well that looks awesome

Saved.

Excellent video, will be sharing with my crew and skipper.

I found your presentation helpful, so much, so much so, it will change my boat's safety setup. I do sail solo and double-handed, as well as fully crewed at times. I own for the last 34 years an ex-BOC class II masthead single-handed 15-meter cutter, I have rebuilt once every ten or so years x 3 times. Thank you for your fine effort, sharing your experience and knowledge. SV. Skoiern IV,

Nice vídeo and informations.

Good stuff - thanks!!

Way to unrealistic. How about two old cruisers on a boat...? then what is the process?

Very educated sailor right there..Appreciate the videos

Excellent Q&A Thank you, I find the exchange and knowledge clear and refreshing, and informative. Thanks for your effort. Though I live in Australia, easy to translate to our part of the world. Video is a professional production.

Puffin are you friends with Lin and Larry pardey heard thst name in books

Great video that covers a lot. Small correction: AIS = Automatic Identification (not Information) System 7:43

"Rich Wilson cannot walk in the streets in France without being recognised and stopped". That's a good one, thanks for the laugh!

Excelente video. Gracias.

Hello US Sailors You also need to include a variation of the Mini class in the US This is the "Karting" for solo sailors, this is the kindergarten for all the following classes of solo sailors Mini class, => Figaro=> class 40=> Imoca ( vendee Globe) Fair wind to everyone The British dominated the sea yes, but not always not everywhere , You should know that, without the French fleet and the Compte de Grasse, you might still be a British colony :-)

Where is this house?

O been told that the main should have a 4 th reef this then solves the problem of leaving the safety of the cockpit.

Outstanding presentations, thank-you!

The hand of Neptune can do it in less then one minute with only one remaining teammate

Keeping in mind that this is not seamanship, it is racemanship. Seamanship is about being able to look at the weather in real time and make a good judgment (as opposed to "knowing") what is coming at you.

Extremely good comprehensive intro

A superb lecture, thank you for putting it together and making it available.

This is a fantastic video! The level of detail in the explanations and example images helped a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Another option when towering without a rudder, is to start engine and put it in reverse gear.

Strange that this has not more views, important and great presented information. Accidentally I found this site in an forum post.

One of the best security discussion I have seen, congrats.
