I’m a chef and started working on a yacht less than a week ago. I’ve been thrown in at the deep end so your videos are proving really helpful. I’m left handed too so an extra bonus. Thank you!
Matthew, what simply smart and beautiful solutions you have for just about any situation! I love that you share them here on UA-cam for free with all of us. I really find it amazing how many different types of knots that can made whether you are in yachting, sailing, climbing or with any other industry that uses ropes.
I have no need for neither pretty chains or luscious loops, but found this to be enjoyable and tremendously of value. I’ve used the chain technique before 👍🏻 Thanks Matthew!!! 😀🛥
seriously like your technique there. I have been thinking of my fenders on my 1970 Eggharbor sedan 37 foot wood boat, and improving my ability to tie them to the boat.
Many thanks for all the information you bring Matt. As I mentioned before, all of this information can also be used outside yachting. I already have my little idea. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍😃😃
The hooks are definitely smart looking and do a great job... However, the clove hitch with the excess in the chain looks absolutely cracking! Smart, practical and adds a certain "something" to the appearance of the deck. If I ever own a yacht, I will be asking the crew to do that (in reality that probably means asking myself to do it on a 10ft dinghy on a lake, but we can all dream!) Excellent video as always Matt! :)
Thank you, Daniel. Yes, you need quite a bit of extra line to get the best effect. I made our forward fender lines particularly long so that the fenders can be lowered all the way down to the water.
Great video as usual. Quick, informative and super well made. Always enjoyable. I think the clove hitch to the rail and the chain looks better than the expensive custom bracket and the luscious loops. Just looks cleaner to me. Keep doing what you do!
Hello Patrick. Yes, I always put a half hitch after the clove hitch. For this video I just wanted to show what to do with the excess line, so I tied the clove hitch and then got carried away with demonstrating how to make the chain! Thank you for pulling me up on the details. Your feedback prompts me to check that my working practices are correct, and helps me to make better videos.
Glad to see another quality video. I have a question that I'm sure others would also be interested in having answered pertaining to getting started in the industry. I'm 16 and have yet to finish college and have been interested in working on a superyacht for a while now. I'm keen to learn and gain experience in order to help attain that goal. However, I'm unsure as to where to start gaining this experience. I'd like to apply for the cadetship course at UKSA; but most other applicants appear to have lived by the sea for a decent portion of their lives and have prior experience with ships and the like. Whilst I have no experience whatsoever and do not live on the coast. What could someone in a similar predicament to I, at my age, do to gain more experience and increase my odds of getting a career in the business whilst I'm still young? Sorry if the question's a bit long-winded and vague, I'll happily clarify anything if it helps and thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.
Hello misty. This is a topic that I'll cover in a future video, but here are my thoughts... Watersports experience is of particular interest to yachts. You may not live near the coast, but are there any facilities such as wakeboard parks in your area? Learning a trade would also make you more employable. Carpentry immediately springs to mind, but plumbing or electrical work would help too. If you're looking at cadetships then UKSA is a great option, but there are others. Companies such as Clyde Marine offer cadetships on a variety of different ships, while companies like BP and P&O Cruises offer cadetships on their own ships. Although it may help a little, these cadetships don't require any previous experience. In addition, you'll graduate with an OOW Unlimited, which is preferable to the OOW 3000 offered by UKSA. The City of Glasgow College offers an OOW Unlimited Superyacht Cadetship, which might just be the perfect option. Not only will you do your sea phases on superyachts, but you'll also graduate with an OOW Unlimited and some contacts in the yachting industry. I hope that gives you a few ideas to do some research on, and I look forward to covering all this and more in a future video.
I've spent the last 15 years working with many people whose first language isn't English. They've always appreciated me articulating my words properly, and I do the same on these videos so that they can be easily understood by an international audience.
Loops or chains....how will you tie your fender lines?
It's impressive how organized this super yacht is. These tools barely exist on yachts i've been on, specially smaller yachts.
I’m a chef and started working on a yacht less than a week ago. I’ve been thrown in at the deep end so your videos are proving really helpful. I’m left handed too so an extra bonus. Thank you!
I’ve seen people do those chains but never knew how, now I do, thanks!
My pleasure! Thank you for commenting, Flight of the Kingfisher.
THIS. I have seen those chains done. And now I know how. Thanks so much!!! 😊
I love the tip on loops, i will surely use that in the future. Thanks
Ya see, I learned something new again. I've never seen that looped end on a clove hitch before. Thanks Matt x
My pleasure! I hope you can put the loops to good use on board M/Y ANDREZA.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thanks Matt. I dropped you an email. Be great if you could reply
Lovey Matthew. That chain looks beautiful, I'll try that one.
Thank you, Tingeling. I was hoping this might come in handy on your boat.
I really like your videos... thank you... If I would own a superyacht, you will be my first choice for a crew... :-)
👍☑️ Good to see you again Matt! Always went with loops.
And it's good to hear from you, ParatyShow! Thank you.
Love the quality and simplicity of your videos!

Thank you, Mitchell. Yes, there are knots for just about anything!
@@WorkonaSuperyacht It is truly remarkable!
Great content as usual💜

I’ve used the chain technique before 👍🏻
Thanks Matthew!!! 😀🛥
Thanks, Tony! ➰🔗😀
Matthew, as usual, quick, simple and informative. I've enjoyed your video.
Thank you, Frank. It's always a pleasure to receive your feedback.

Thanks, Rudi. I'm always pleased to hear that you're finding uses for these tips and tricks elsewhere.
Thank you for sharing some techniques

Haha, thanks Andi. Doing it yourself is part of the fun!
I just realised how big those fenders are JEEEZZ
These ones are 1.5m long and 60cm in diameter. Fenders on the bigger yachts can be more than twice as big as these!
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Wow thats crazy i never knew they where this big! Thanks
The loop chain looks really very pretty.
I definitely need longer fender lines.
For privat use 😇
Thank you, Daniel. Yes, you need quite a bit of extra line to get the best effect. I made our forward fender lines particularly long so that the fenders can be lowered all the way down to the water.

As sailboats do have a much lower freeboard than motor yachts 💨⛵😎
Great video as usual. Quick, informative and super well made. Always enjoyable. I think the clove hitch to the rail and the chain looks better than the expensive custom bracket and the luscious loops. Just looks cleaner to me. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you, DJ Hannah. I really appreciate your kind feedback. Everyone seems to prefer the chain!
I can see the advantage of the movable cam cleats. They increase your productivity and surety of deploying fenders.
Great video, maybe a video on inflating, deflating and proper stowing of those monster fenders?
Great suggestion! Thank you, Stephen.
Can you say where the fender hooks were bought from, now have to have them. One of your best videos.
Thank you, Shaun. The fender hooks came from a company called Fendequip.
Matthew no half hitch after the clove hitch ??
nice fenders the last one i used that size was rattan fenders the old cane ones
