I’m always impressed how you can speak so clearly and manage all these tools at the same time !
Check out some of my early videos and you will see that it is a skill that has improved with time! Thanks for the comment though. It's nice to know it is appreciated.
Hi Nick, as you know so well, every boat you charter will behave differently. I find it alright entering the marina on the last day when I've had the entire week behind the helm and got used to the boat. The first couple of days however are the most challenging.
Can you record a video in which you do particular "exercises" or manoeuvres with the boat that help you figure it's response out. What is there to check and try? I typically try a bit of reverse zig-zag to figure out how much it'll swing the bow over, for example...
When it comes to docking…”slow is pro”. The format with real life drone feed en your remarks and notes is really working for me, thanks for taking the effort to make these videos! This is a great refresher training on docking techniques. Do you run flotiellja in summer as well?
Yep. Slow is indeed pro. Being in control is the key. Rapt that you like this format. It definitely takes preparation and effort, but I think it is worth it to help those of us who had never encountered this type of docking before sailing in this corner of the world!
Regarding the flotilla's, we don't actually run them in summer. For a few reasons. One being the lack of wind. Two being the insane crowds out here in summer. And three being the cost of chartering. We run these flotilla's twice a year on either side of the summer season, in May and October.
Another great video, thanks! Am looking forward to coming to Kastela in September!
A very comprehensive guide, thanks for doing this!! Taking notes to hopefully put it to practice soon! 😁
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Amazing job. Congrats.
Hvala!
Thank you very much. Really useful. Congratulations !!!
You are welcome!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Nick, can you do a video how to dock in tight spaces in small packed marinas in a windy conditions. In this video you dock in quite luxorious berth😅
Question: You have on your site the Buy Merch and I see you wearing the really nice blueisch poloshirt with 45 degree sailing, but I dont see it in your shop. Would really love that instead of black
thank you so much, great explanations
Thanks Nicolo. Any questions just let us know!
Great video, thank you so much
You're welcome!

Thanks Greg hope it was helpful!
AURA PREMIUM ISTRIAN - GIN KARBUN 😉
Loving it..
Cheers David!
etiquette no no's: I would think music from your boat? You are not in your private party in a harbour
Impressive live stream, thanks for that Nick. 👍
May I add a few points on the issue of docking etiquette. It is always good seamanship to put on shoes before docking and also wear a shirt or something and not be half naked. Compare getting into a marina with going to a restaurant. It has something to do with respect.
What I also often see is the wrong flagging of boats. Pirate flags are placed on the starboard side, or one's own national flag on starboard at a Croatian boat. Some people in the harbour can be deeply offended by this.
Perhaps a video on this topic would be helpful to explain where which flag goes and why. And which flag was placed completely wrong. 😁
😂😂😂
I guess "good seamanship" is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer to think of it as being respectful to other sea-goers and the sea itself no matter what one is wearing. But then we are all different!
And yes. Flags could be a good topic for a video. Maybe this winter I can shoot/edit/upload something. Watch this space.
Thanks!
Thank you for the recognition! Appreciate this. Glad it was helpful.
Hvala.
Thanks Skiny! Appreciate it.
Thanks
You're welcome
Sometimes in the marina, I am asked to dock in a slot at the end of the pontoon. I can only enter the marina and go to the slot, I cannot overshoot the position and come back against the wind. Maneuvering in reverse is always the best solution, regardless of the wind direction?
Without understanding the position of the berth and wind direction it is hard for me to comment on that one I am sorry. I do not want to put you wrong!
Glad that you are ignoring the bow trusters, otherwise these videos would be not as helpful for me and my 1980s tiller SY
That’s the plan! The are a great addition. Not a solution!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Very much appreciated 😌
