these videos are fantastic. ive paid for ym online course and been really struggling due to the way the course is conducted. These videos are really helping me. Thankyou so much.
Quiz at 28:20 ... Question 10.... doesn't a vessel at anchor >50m have a lower light at the stern so this would be the starboard aspect? Or am I still confused?
The only problem madam, is that when a vessel is pushing (not a composite unit situation) more than one vessel, or towing alongside more than one vessel, they don't show the navigation lights each one alone. If they're three vessels towed alongside, then they all show the side lights of one vessel and only one stern light. If you are pushing 3 vessels, the three show the side lights of one vessel on the extremities of the tow.
Hi Mike - the NUC Day shape si the 2 black balls, the Aground day shape is 3 black balls and two inward facing triangles is commercial fishing/trawling. Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Best instructor on UA-cam. Thank you for a clear and easy to remember video.
Thank you for this wonderful explanation - a great help for me to memorise the shapes and lights for my yachtmaster exam. ❤❤
These tutorials are quite superb. Thank you very much for the clarity, information and little tips for remembering things. Just excellent.

Glad you think so!
a really well explained refresher thankyou. Even if you have done all this before you soon forget it
Fantastic! Thank you

On the minute 29, the test,
it is not the lights a vessel at anchor over 50m, from a PORT aspect, it is from a STBD (starboard) aspect
Thanks - already covered in a previous comment - the perils of presenting live!!
Shouldn’t number 4 on the test have a red sidelight because we are looking at the port aspect?

I agree with you 😀
Hi Chloe - yes you are correct it should be the Starboard aspect - you are not confused - just mistyped on the slides - apologies for any confusion

Should 12 have a masthead white visible?
