I could listen to you all day, Captain. Such a pleasant voice! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

Great clear instructions. Just passed day skipper theory.

Great tips that I didn’t know💪👏…always needed to use my BFT card before😂

So great answer clear👍 Thanks so much 🙏

Very very clear! Thanks so much 🙏

great tutorial, thank you

I don't get it... Why would we Dutch put the drift calculation before the stream??? We have KK>>>dev>>>MK>>>var>>>WK>>>drift>>>BWK>>>stream>>>GrK .... Is it not the stream you can see at the trace behind your boat, where the stream is flowing to? You see... You can calculate all your drifting on the angles to the wind and its force with your used sails in a fixed table to know your boat, but the drift that changes on multiple spots or tides are way harder to know and for that you watch your boat stream at the back, is it not? When we are inbetween a high and low pressure area, your drifting will change faster, because of lower/higher winds and the changing of direction to your adjusted sails.Or not?

Although interesting video to watch, the great majority of people today use electronic charts in their boats. Past are the times of the sextons, charts and the abacus.

As a total novice with a view of learning all this, I struggle to understand the effects of tide. Then you mentioned sailing on a tide is like moving on a conveyor belt, which hit the learning nail on the head and I then fully understood the effects of tide. 👍👍👍

What’s a feather where is a feather

This was hugely interesting Mark. Absolutely full of wisdom. I liked watch system 3 but don't ever expect to have a large enough crew. But the most of the principles apply to smaller companies. Your take on some of the human aspects and foibles was interesting. I wondered if there might be a method that mixed up the watch participants who maybe only just able to tolerate their partners? It's incredible how people can get worked up over petty things. Or similarly, cause issues that are far easier to to avoid than to happen.

I am really enjoying your videos. Your explanations are clear and concise. I have one suggestion. The use of “they” as a singular pronoun so that you are acknowledging that women are often the skipper. The continued use of “he,” and “wife” when referring to crew, is not 21st century language. For anyone who ask “why does it matter?” Well if it doesn’t matter then feel free to use “she” every time you refer to a skipper and “husband” every time you refer to crew and see how that goes. As I work to upgrade my skills, the extra effort it takes to get past the assumption by many men that I require their “help” and require them to “explain” basics to me, is exhausting. Small things like using inclusive language really do help over the long term.

Very good vidoe but can you kindly explain how to get to a difference of 6 minutes between the +20 and +50 minutes for the HW time? I note you have the 5 stages but why isnt this 6 stages i.e. including the +20 minutes giving you a difference of 5 minutes per hour?

Really well explained with the overlayed text adding useful detail. Bravo!

im lookin for someone get exam done for me online l pay very good tip

Love it! 🥰

Terrific tutorial!

😀

Mind-blowing! 🤩

Fun!

Wow!

What a wonderful video! I a beginner from California, USA and find this informtion presented in a logical, informative straightforward manner. Thank you!

Should be an APP for this...or Raymarine calculates on Chart plotter.

Wouldn't it be great if we had the reciprocal of a depth gauge up there, to let us know how close we shaved it?

Lovely clear explanation. In fact excellent. I have 3 notes. 1. You said you would, but didn't cover what happens when you get it wrong. It was like the last page of a whodunnit ripped out of the library book! The anticlimax was palpable. 2. I've been learning for so long, I can remember that airdraught used to be related to MHWS, at least that was what I was taught at the turn of the century. I have a handwritten scrawl of the imminent change, in my 5th edition reeds skippers's handbook (2007) ex Malcolm Pearson. 3. You say on a rising or falling tide... between these two depths. You then agreeably suggest that in reality you should go through nice and slowly. To join those dots, I would submit that ergo you don't really have the options of rising/falling, but just whichever of those equates to going against the stream. Particularly if said stream is springs and you're nearer the mid twelfths. This strategy has the biproduct of reducing the odds of meeting someone coming the other way at the bridge apex....just when you're uncontrollably rocketing through with no water over your rudder. 4. OK I said 3 notes but...in addition to the real life meteorological points you helpfully added... In my brain a bridge (generally) suggests a river. Rivers have a source of water volume and movement, related to rainfall on land, that's in addition to those of tide. It's worth noting these fluval factors exist and can considerably add to strength of stream firstly and secondly volume (height). So even the "stand" will be subject to this....turning it into an ebb of indeterminate strength and depth. In fact moving the expected stand to a different position up or down river. My brain is bleeding. Moral of the story. Don't do these calculations in the week after a storm or period of incessant rain. As in just don't trust air draught calcs in Britain.

I’ll be paying a visit online later

I’ve got a test today this has ruined my mind more than my tutor has all week fml …

Am I missing Something here ? Zero explanation of many things like the compass 🧭,

Excellent, thank you!

Hey Mark, I´m a quite newbie-sailer from Germany and I really appreciate learing from your professional sailing tutorials. Just a quick question from my side on this one. At about 2:55min you are plotting the GPS-position. My question is: Is latitude 001*13.3W correcty set to the right side of 001* on your chart, as you did. I guess 13.3W it should be left side from 001*? Thank you for your feedback. Cheers mate!

Nice video thanks

liked and subscribed thanks so much for your resources!

Very nicely explained, thank you kindly for helping me brush up on that knowledge from distant past. The interpolation is quite simple, and a mariner should be able to do that mentally.

Very informative .. thank you

what pen are u using to write on that notebook? looks pretty nice

Nicely explained, thank you!

Since you're going to the Brambles, I wondered if you were on your way to play cricket 😉

Amazingly I watched this last Saturday. Even though you put a video up of the exact passage in the exact conditions.... Next day at 1500, we (a company of 3), against my recommendations, attempted to head from Lymington to Weymouth with Poole as our fallback, in a WSW F6... on mostly an ebb tide. Exactly the conditions you said not to do it in. Next day was forecast to be worse and we had hoped to eventually get as far as the Dart. Nobody wanted to go east (where we should have made for). We headed for the needles on the end of the flood planning to get through Hurst on near slack and use the tide to get west (even fully expecting the wind over tide). However, the hype word became "fetch" when our latitude got south of Hurst lighthouse and it hit us. Truly big waves and lots of slamming of our flat footed Hanse 418. A modicum of sense prevailed and we returned to base and ate the BBC recipe chilli con carne I'd made at home. That bit was a success. Next day we sat out the gale. Tuesday we set off for Poole with the chance of passing it for Weymouth or heading there on Wednesday. An aside bonus here on Tuesday was at Warden, Needles Channel. No other sail was in sight except one, when MAIDEN! all alone, majestically bedraggled, rounded the needles, back from it's winning circumnavigation. Unable to get our new compressed air horn functioning from it's blasted packaging, the three of us waved, shouted, cheered and clapped the girls as much of a welcome as we could muster, as they headed thru Hurst toward the sails gathering at Cowes on the horizon. The Tuesday Poole passage in the WNW F5/6 was hard and slammy but we got there at the cost of our lady member becoming over attached to the boat bucket for most of it. Next morning (Wed), lots of discussion about the bucket, onward travel westward (but the tides are only 40 minutes different daily and the NE wind strength persistent) or avoiding another extortionate £74 Poole berth cost by exploring brownsea anchorage and heading back next day (Thurs). I proposed going east NOW instead of a day later... The end of the ebb was due at our berth checkout time of noon. We could get south of the island passage all the way to Bembridge and just about squeak over the bar at dusk. Wonderful difference. Nobody sick and an ultra fast comfortable, swept along ride to the white knuckle 0.1m Bembridge bar clearance and our home made curry. Thursday. We scraped over the 0800 top of bembidge tide bar, again by 0.1m, then eased back to Lymington on the ebb tide where our lady partner disembarked a day early. But not before yet again being the only boat to witness Outlaw pass Yarmouth; home from the same race. Thursday evening we untwisted the self tacking jib sheet and decided we'd need to sail next day to test the new knot 😉. Friday we had a rock-fouled anchor, again sheltering from the lunchtime NW wind off Hengistbury Head. Probably we hugged it too much. Our last hurrah was getting it up after an hour of trying different angles and overrunning etc. Next time our passage will be more head over heart. I mean, what's the point of watching sailing tips vids if we then completely ignore them?

thanks for the video... what do you mean by "piloting"... as in "We'll probably be piloting anyway?"... Thanks !

This is an exceptional site where navigation is explained pedagogically. Whether it is tides or course to steer, it all works well for me. Thanks.

Error East Compass Least Error West Compass Best (Biggest, Most) I only commit the first of these to memory and reverse it if need be and I just remember the order of variation/deviation without the need for the help of virgins or cadets.

How I can do it, I don't have the boat speed and it's less than 1h?

It was only when the second notification came in that I realised it was you.
