It seems the boat intends to leave the harbour. Why havn't skipper move forward with the engine when the anchor was raised in order to get clear to the boat at his starbord- side? But of course the anchorman is also half at sleep and not focussed on his job.
@davedavids96193 күн бұрын
Nope, in Serifos there is a small port and you have to drop your anchor on the other side, then move reverse into your berth. This guy obviously did not drop his anchor, probably thought there were bow lines, so when he was finally berthed he found out he should have used the anchor. And that is where the fun started.

After sailing in the Aegean and Saronic Gulf for some years a good advice I always give to unexperienced people looking at chartering out of Pireus/Alimos is to head East, possibly avoiding Sifnos and Milos in the south. The Meltemi is almost always blowing from the N-NE. The forecast gives the option to (a) head to Poros in the Saronic Gulf (from Serifos), a better sea state than being in Milos heading for Alimos (or Poros for that matter), or (b) continue East from Kithnos for Ermoupolis, Paros, Anti-Paros and do Serifos on way back. If trapped by strong Meltemi there is an amazing place on Sifnos (Ormos Vathy) that gives good protection to wait out the wind. Milos is a nice place, but it's so far down south that the route back could be crazy. We've experienced 3m waves outside Lavrio, and if you're not prepared for those conditions, it's better to leave from Serifos to Poros (and Possibly Epidavros, Vathy, or Korfu). Being in the Saronic the last days gives a windy journey back, but the sea state is manageable.

@@CorM1 the ports and marinas operating in this way want to earn as much money as they can, so this is the way they do it. If you show up with a catamaran you pay 1.5 times or sometimes twice the standard fee. There are ports and marinas in the Med where you need to pay 400 euro per night for a 45' boat.

RYA provides a very sound groundwork for competency in sailing. However the emphasis on traditional ie: non-electronic navigational methods is rather over emphasised. Yes this does teach you the principles of navigation and should all the satellites drop out the sky you would have a valuable skill . However i found this seems to be at the expense proper use, maintaining, backing up, adding contigencies and so forth to electronic systems that are the mainstay of all navigation today. Try plotting and calculating drift, tides etc with your squares and paper charts halfway up the solent in force 7 on a weekend race day.... i just think the qualifications would be greatly improved if they took a bigger step into the 21st century. Nonetheless though I did enjoy learning the old skills but have never had to put them to use in the numerous passages undertake.
@gvido04Ай бұрын
Thanks for the effort you've put to make this very informative video! I am contemplating a similar move. You've mentioned that some of the participants received Competent Crew Certificate and some received Day Skipper Certificate. Was this their intent from the beginning, or was the instructor's decision based on their performance during the course?
@LIVEINFULLCOLORАй бұрын
It was based on your previous knowledge, milage and achieved level of theory. This company, where I made the licence explained us, that they perform this with combined crew. So some for Day skipper, some for Competent crew and some for Coastal Skipper. And all was set in advance, so for which level are you in.

I understand why our insurance has a Med premium… We experienced a blow in Zakynthos marina and were the only ones with anchor holding of a pack of 3 boats, so our anchor supported two other sailboats. It paid to have an oversized Mantis Supreme 80 lbs for a 17 tons boat.

I was in the same spot last year. Serifos is extremely windy and you need to drop your anchor on the opposite side of the port. This larger sailing vessel did not do that and that is why the bow is going all over the place. I.o.w. some people rented a big yacht and had no clue how to do a proper med mooring. This is one of the reasons why we don't go into port in the summer time, chance of damage is too high.

Holding isn’t great either for those in the bay and most drag. Fenders are on but too far back and those on the right aren’t doing much people charter the Cyclades and they’re definitely not for the inexperienced or faint hearted at times 😂😂😂

I enjoyed your video. You can get Yachtmaster Coastal with only 800 miles tidal experience actually, and this is reduced to only 400 miles if you complete a YM prep course in tidal waters. You can also undertake "milebuilder" cruises with many UK sailing schools to help increase your mileage. Generally though, miles gained as skipper give the best experience. I think many UK schools operating in the Solent area are cheaper than what you paid in Greece as well. Good luck with your sailing!

@@LIVEINFULLCOLOR I've never heard of a boat leader's licence. I've sailed in UK waters since 1987. I know of no legal requirement for qualification. The RYA has fought against such things for years and deserve support. If people keep talking about licenses they will get what they wish for and another freedom will be lost. It is possible these days to get discounts on insurance with RYA qualification so that is an advantage.
