Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Indeed :D

this is very true. I have been sailing in Croatia for 12 years, but last few years the prices have been going totally out of control in Croatia. only money, money, money. but they are loosing many customers already+have few friends who have taken their sailing boats from Croatia to Italy or Greece.

btw i drove away in vienna with 800 eu in cash and came back with 500. was very cheap boat for 2000,- 4 cabines/ 6 people

Thank you for your support 🙏🙏🙏

Someday I'll try the North Sea. It's on my bucket list :)

Thank you for your comment 🙏🙏

Where you see this: ''You are talking about 30m of the chain on catamaran?'' There is no such statement in the video and in my comments. It seems that you see nonexistant things and therefore accusing me of lying. Alen, that’s not nice. Anyway, thank you for your comment. Every opinion matters.

Do you think that, even if what you say is correct, 50 meters of chain is acceptable? I would say that such a statement, anywhere else in the world, is a public declaration of total lack of proper seamanship; and by that alone we can safely disregard your opinion, which, if anything, further confirms the point about Croatian understanding of anchoring.

Glad it was helpful!

@antebratincevic6764 Ajde mi bogati objasni, kako to lakoća plovidbe u nekoj zemlji, utječe na starost čarter flote??

Croatia has the youngest charter fleet in the world and the distances are shorter than in Greece, so major breakdowns happen less often and when they do happen, repairs are possible in a shorter time, also due to the fact that settlements with technical infrastructure are also nearby. It is also true that Greece prevails in many aspects, and the reasons for this are very complex.

I believe that the buoy in Croatia costs even more than marina in Greece

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS True.

If I may add, in Croatia you constantly have the feeling that you are being ripped off. Never in Greece.

Thank you 👍

How did someone die

@@kleitosaliagas5668 Guy drowned. Somewhere around outer Croatian islands. I don't remember exactly. I just remember unsuccessful search party that lasted for a while. If you can float- you usually don't drown among other islands. Plenty of people have tried. Few have succeeded.

An incredible point to make. The sea requires respect, at any distance. Depth higher than 1.7meters is dangerous. Those who think otherwise create an unsafe culture where accidents will happen. And what does anything of what you say have to do with anchor chain?

Ma koji 30 metri kadene, svak pri bookingu more dobit popis opreme sa svin detaljima pa i sa debljinon i dužinon kadene. A sad ako se 1 na 500 dogodi prevara jerbo su predhodni gosti izgubili dil lanca i činili kuco to je druga stvar jer se na finalnoj provjeri nemore puštat i mirit cila kadena. I daj nemoj plašit bidne ovce sa ton zabranon vezivanja za kraj, ionako se ovce boje svoje sjene. Aj molin te da vidin ko će me to kaznit kad vežen krmu na kraj, baš bi volija da mi dođe. A šta bi tek domorodci rekli da se nemogu vezat na kraj i ko će to provodit ti zakon, pa tribalo bi imat pandurije i pandurski brodi bar za desetinu brodi koji plove. Osin toga veživanje za kraj je i pitanje sigurnosti. To šta ti radiš je vođenje psihološko propagandnoga rata. A turisti to piju, njima se ionako svašta more prodat i pitaju ima li još. Nji mi ionako nije žaj kad su imberlani.

Till now the longest chain I got in Croatia was from company Pitter, boat Lagoon 45 2015 Stella which had 50 meters. That was this July and another one Hanse 505 (Simone) from company Oryx (Frapa), also 50 meters 3 weeks ago. All other boats had 40, 35 or even 30 meters of chain, no more. The one in the video, Sileb, had only 30 meters. Charter company representative said, that this is standard for that type of boat. You can figure it out which charter company it was. I won't tell bad things with names, because I probably don't know all the circumstances, but 30 meters is, sadly, a fact 🤷‍♂️

​@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS Po tome šta pišeš u vezi dužine kadene i sidrenja pari da nemaš pojma ili imaš, a manipuliraš ka i ovi gori koji piše besmislice. Neko ko nema pojma ni ikakvoga iskustva kad čuje tebe mislit će kako je bitna samo dužina lanca. Samo sidrenje i držanje broda na sidru su prekompleksne radnje kako bi se cili fokus bacija na dužinu kadene. Od dužine kadene važnija je vrsta dna, vrsta i težina sidra, pa tek onda dubina do dna i dužina kadene uzimajući u obzir vjerojatnosti promine smjera i brzine vitra. Ako baciš sidro u purić ili na ploču moš pustit i 100 metri kadene sidro neće držat i odnit će te. Salbun nije svugdi isti i ovisi je li tu ima kurenta jer šta je veći kurenat ti salbun postaje cimentaniji i sidro teže zadije bez obzira na dužinu kadene. Neko ko nezna nema ni pojma di se sidri osin ako je plićadura pa se dno dobro vidi. Za sidrit brod najprij triba znanje pa iskustvo, a znanje se stiče učenjem odnosno plovidbom i sidrenjem sa onima koji puno duže plove, a onda triba i vlastito iskustvo bez kojega se nemore. Ukratko sidrenje se nemore naučit na internetu, a danas dosta nji uzimaju brode u charter, a da su o sidrenju najviše učili na internetu. A uči se tako i da se pita, ali općenito većina ljudi više voli prodavat pamet nego pitat. Šta se dužine kadene koju charter operateri stavljaju na brode sve to ovisi o dužini i masi broda. Pa nemore bit ista dužina i debljina lanca na Lagoon 450 mase od oko 15 - 16 tona i neki monohull o 35 - 36 stopa i 5 - 6 tona. Kad bi na 35 - 36 stopa monohull uvalija u sidreni gavun 70 metri kadene prova bi mu ronila pa bi oni šta nemaju pojma govorili kako je dizajner kriv. Druga stvar je šta Tehnički Zahtjevi za Statutarnu Certifikaciju Hrvatskoga Registra Brodova dopuštaju minimalnu dužinu kadene 30 metri i postoje zahtjevi za debljinu lanca u ovisnosti o dužini. Ima tu još magije o kojoj neću sad pisat jer je i ovo već previše. A to di su ti dali 30 metri kadene je stoposto bija brod o 35 - 36 stopa i 5 - 6 tona. U pravilu se dužina kadene stavlja minimalno za 3 - 4 dužine broda korigirano za koeficijent mase. Za Lagoon 45 odnosno 450 ka i za Lagoon 400 godišta 2012 - 2016 CNB je u dodatnoj specifikaciji nudija 75 metri kadene debljine 10 mm ka jedinu opciju. E, a vidi sad ovo, kadena posli 7 - 8 godin gubi sloj nanesen cinčanjen i kadena počinje ruzinavit i onda kad je Pitter ili možda vlasnik minja kadenu, a Pitter mu to odobrija, da bi uštedija par sto euri meka je 50 metri kadene odnosno 25 metri manje nego šta je CNB po svojim specificikacijama isporučija katamaran. Ništa ovo nije tužno, tuga su samo negativne emocije, a današnjin sviton upravljaju psihopati koji emocije nemaju, ali dobro ih glume i kod ovaca igraju na njih. Ako si željan znanja iz ovoga moš nešto naučit, ne samo o dužini kadene, a ako znaš puno više neka ti Bog da zdravlja.

I am very happy that my video helped 🤗

You might have to do some more balanced research.

Says a greek guy 😂

What are you talking about? Have you ever been to Croatia or you are just having your perspective from seeing football hooligan clashes between Greeks and Croats?

Glad it was helpful!

Chartering, as a basic activity in its fundamental sense, is established solely for the purpose of consumption, and therefore cannot have any other meaning. We are all human, and in the Western world, we are all part of the world of consumption. The sooner you accept this as a worldview principle, the easier it will be to navigate life as a person.

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS Nije baš da razumin to šta si napisa jer san cili život na moru, i danas na neki način živin o mora i ne osjećan se ka potrošač.

Deseti misec je kako baci, već u deveti misec ciklone počinju ić sve južnije i more se dogodit da od 7 dan bude četri dana šiloka, dan škontradure i dan ili dva buretine.

Dva - tri puta prođe lipo, a jedan put bude gadno da malo kome više posli toga padne na pamet ić na more u to doba. Dobar je deseti misec jer totalna gužva u drugome tjednu padne na ispod 50%, u trećemu na 10 - 20%, a u četvrtome tjednu brodi ima zanemarivo malo, ali i dan skrati. Cjene padnu na ispod 50% cjena u vriju sezone, ali ne kupuje se i ne prodaje se samo cjena. Ima deset puti više vjerojatnosti da štete na palubnoj opremi, riggingu i jedrima bude više nego šta je najam plaćen. Ma sve je lipo na screenu, i more i snig.

I've already been in october, november and in december. It can be rough, I agree. I've been 14 days ago. In 7 days, we had three weather deteriorations, so unfortunately, we spent every evening in marinas. But because of that, we had excellent sailing. Last year, I was there around November 1st (shown in one of my videos), probably my best timing so far. Of course, it’s not summer, the weather isn’t stable, so you have to be smart and you will have a great time if you came for sailing.

It wasn't even two hours. And I believe ''cruising'' or even ''konoba hunting'' would probably be more appropriate term. But almost everyone calls this ''sailing'' and with other terms video wouldn't get your attention 🤷‍♂😉

I haven't completed day Skipper because I already had boating licence issued in my country and done many sails even as a skipper prior to my Coastal Skipper course. About instructors I really don't know. I made it with Angelo (Vangelis) and I really don't know others. It is intersting that I met Angelo twice after the completition of my course. Once in Ermioni 2 month after and again this year in june in Alimos marina. He always gave me some advice about bays, where to stay over night in meltemi for instance😄

I just finished week sailing trip in Croatia... madness how many boats still...

Was this man still present in August? I read that they forbid him to work due not having any permit...

@@mvakleko Thank you for your opinion and advice 👍👍👍

Thank you. Were you there in summer aswell?

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS yes. Our boat was next to your boat ( side to side). Look at part in stari grad. The double mast boat. We spent a lot of time on boat. In Stari Grad we anchored twice for almost 3 weeks.

I see it now and really can't believe it. What a coincidence. I'm very happy about it. I remember you well, I always check ketch boats, I'm a great fan of Amel (because of the Delos I believe :))

Are you still on boat now? On saturday I'm going on another sailing week in the same area, hoping for some real wind this time. And on monohull, which I like more. They are more pristine :)

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILSNot now. Its a week that i left the boat. But surely i will come on boat in a short time. We are thinking to participate on Jabuka regatta, just for fun.

Good question, Stojan. There was none. It was planned, but wasn't executed by the decision of the instructor and I really don't know why. Thankfully, I got enough night sails and passages elsewere.

Tudi osebno se teh terminov izogibam na Hrvaškem zaradi gneče, v Grčiji pa zaradi vročine. Ampak je kot praviš, drugače, če o plovbi odločaš sam. S posnetki z dronom pa prav nikoli nisem povsem zadovoljen... Ko delam montažo, prav vedno še manjka kak kader 🤣 Pa hvala za pozitiven komentar 👍

It is not allowed. But in main season you won't find a bay without many boats with shorelines

It is not allowed, but it is not forbidden either. In practice this means that the waterway must not be obstructed with a long line of the anchored boat which is tied to the shore. That can be a danger to smaller vessels that pass there at night.

I agree totally. Told them many times, but they still wanted to do it 🤷‍♂

I know about the name of Paklin's islands (Paklinski), but even croatian people has problems with correct pronounciation. About tie to the rocks I'm aware of it, but sometimes there is no other way.

@@skippy-rj5jd pa to je okej. Uvik se moš vezat sa sidrom na krmu. Okačit ga negdje di dobro stoji oko skale.

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS sailing why cause life on the water is better, yes me too free to do what and when I want

Davedavids, where do you get water? Do you have watermaker?

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS we have indeed a water maker onboard, but if you don't you can always pull into a port or fuel station and get some water.

@@davedavids9619 ...but in ports will charge you for water during high season, or not? Till now I never got it for free, there was always someone there or even no free tap. If you took it a canister or two on petrol station I guess it is duable, but if you want 600 liters, it will take you at least half an hour to do it and if there is a line of boats behind you.. Maybe if you do it simultaniously, but you need much more water than diesel, so ...

@@LIVE_AT_FULL_SAILS it is a matter of timing mostly. During day time you can always come into a port or marina for some water. Not all water is good water however, so be aware that you cannot drink that water, it is just for showering, toilet and for cooking if you first boil the water for about 5 min. During the morning hours, after everybody leaves there is enough time to come in, top up the tanks and leave again. If you have 600, 1000 or 1500 liters onboard you should be able to last for a few days. So planning your stops for water is a good idea. Yes, you will have to pay for the water, sometimes they charge 1 euro per 100 ltr or even 2 euro per 100 ltr, but that is still cheaper than paying 200 euro for a night in a marina. And if the fuel station has water as well you just take the water while you take the fuel. If you have to drag out the fuel stop you just use a slower flow rate. But also in fuel stations there are slow times, usually Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there aren't that many clients and if there are it is only at the end of the day. We were just last week in Brbinj (Dugi Otok) and there was a water connection on the municipal quay. If you are familiar with Navily you will know that they always state if you can get water there or not.

@davedavids9619 thank you. I will really check in Navily. For now, the only place where I could get free water, was Greece. Or almost free, lets say Poros for 4 EUR, Serifos for 10 EUR for staying over night, and even for free in Monemvasia.

It really is!

@TheNatkica, if you would go to the not so standard places, go outside of the main high season (mid July - end of August) you will find it is much quieter and you can still have complete anchorages to yourself. But in order to do that you will have to say goodbye to the standard places like Bol, Hvar city, Solta, Skradin, Zadar, Vis, Dubrovnik etc. As an example, we could have stayed in the marinas in Dubrovnik back in June when we arrived. Would have costed us 150 euro for a night. Instead we went 10 min North to a place called Zaton, anchored for free and the scenery was more beautiful than the marina in Dubrovnik. We still made it into the old town of Dubrovnik, just paid much less.
