It’s Greg Laughlin from Australia again and I’ve just watched this from beginning to end and it is wonderful. I really appreciate the English accent and the authority she has in her voice combined with the fact that she clearly knows her subject backwards.
SO clear. Love the diagrams as well as the friendly informative tone. Clearest diagrams I’ve seen so far. And nice to have a girl just for a change. Not that there’s anything wrong with blokes but if you want to encourage a few more of us women to do day skipper, it is good to be represented occasionally.
These are really excellent presentations - thank you. So much easier to pass exams when you get help like this! Moot point but you spell a ship's DRAUGHT that way - and NOT 'draft', the way you have spelled it.
I’m enrolled in a Coxswain’s course starting in early August it’s a full-time living course for three weeks. This video has made a huge difference and I’m wondering if the presenter is still doing her job? I cannot believe these videos only attract a handful of comments when they are clearly the best out there and should be published so that she gets the credit that is due.
Gregory - yes doing the job! Glad you enjoyed the video. Don’t forget to check out the other videos in our Training Tips playlist - you will find many that will help with your course. Good luck!
Excellent, thanks. One observation, no lights identify a "fishing vessel", they identify a "vessel engaged in fishing" which isn't quite the same thing!
Question: what lights should a boat under oar that is 12.5 meters long, capable of 9-15 knots ie. dragon boat team training at night - with consideration the boat has a low run on the gunnel and unable to take wake over 0.6m. Would having port and starboard lights give an indication in the dark that it is under motor therefore approaching boats might not slow down enough? Thoughts?
First, the easy part is the sidelights do not indicate motoring. That requires a masthead light. Just sidelights and stern indicate that you're making way under sail/oars. As far as the hierarchy, equipment, sound signals, and other rules are concerned, you're the same as a sailboat. The lights you'll want are a combined sidelight at the bow and a stern light. Also, carry a powerful white handheld torch/flashlight/spotlight within reach. As for the wake, there's nothing I can think of in the regs to help you, other than using the handheld light to illuminate your boat when you see someone coming in hot and hope they get the hint. You might consider a loudhailer and/or handheld VHF radio so that you could communicate with the other vessels who may not be aware of the wake sensitivities. Disclaimer: I'm just a stranger on the internet, so take that all for what it's worth. :-p [Edited for length.]
I just seen a odd looking meteor right angle, SsW It arched towards the west. I watched it falling downward, I heard only one Sonic boom then 10-20 secs later I heard a rumbling like a large plane but nothing was in the sky Weird!
Hi Tim, thanks for watching the video. The RIB on the slides is just an indicative vessel to show how the sound signals relate to port/starboard/astern of the vessel.

A comment from Australia: this is the most organized and clearest dissertation on COLREGS. Thank you so very much.
Really appreciate this video. I'm doing a course and I really understand everything to the tee. So simplified. Thank you ma'am.

I like the CBDraft=Guiness. I think that one is going to stick. Great video!
Thank you so much mam!! It's a best COLREG video among all what is internet. 🇮🇳
Great Idea and Great Lecture. Greetings from Varna city in Bulgaria!!!
Thank you for clear and memorable instruction
You are welcome!
Best lesson I have seen on this topic: Really clear and concise. Thank you very much. Will Follow on Instagram.
Thank you as this was very good. Clearly explaining the topics covered
Excellent presentation. Probably the best lecture on the topic I've seen.
Small nitpick... @35:04 #10 could also be a small vessel at anchor.
Thank you for making these videos!these are extremely helpful
Here is captain modak iftikhar
Nice explanation given by madam.

Weird!
New Recruits Can Fear Spinnaker Poles 🙂
Why would you EVER sound 5 short blasts in a RIB to ask the other driver WTF he is doing instead of merely streeing away from him?

@@CompassSeaSchool OK sure. Thanks for your videos. They helped me just get through my Advanced Powerboat exam yesterday in Southampton.
