I don't get it... Why would we Dutch put the drift calculation before the stream??? We have KK>>>dev>>>MK>>>var>>>WK>>>drift>>>BWK>>>stream>>>GrK .... Is it not the stream you can see at the trace behind your boat, where the stream is flowing to? You see... You can calculate all your drifting on the angles to the wind and its force with your used sails in a fixed table to know your boat, but the drift that changes on multiple spots or tides are way harder to know and for that you watch your boat stream at the back, is it not? When we are inbetween a high and low pressure area, your drifting will change faster, because of lower/higher winds and the changing of direction to your adjusted sails.Or not?

As a total novice with a view of learning all this, I struggle to understand the effects of tide. Then you mentioned sailing on a tide is like moving on a conveyor belt, which hit the learning nail on the head and I then fully understood the effects of tide. 👍👍👍

Good to know. Thank you. And this is why we more often want to be sailing with tide, as sailing against tide makes for slow progress. Much like walking up a down escalator. 👍

This was hugely interesting Mark. Absolutely full of wisdom. I liked watch system 3 but don't ever expect to have a large enough crew. But the most of the principles apply to smaller companies. Your take on some of the human aspects and foibles was interesting. I wondered if there might be a method that mixed up the watch participants who maybe only just able to tolerate their partners? It's incredible how people can get worked up over petty things. Or similarly, cause issues that are far easier to to avoid than to happen.

You are so right. Overlapping watches for small crew is a real winner and means you get a variety of stories and tea making skills.

I am really enjoying your videos. Your explanations are clear and concise. I have one suggestion. The use of “they” as a singular pronoun so that you are acknowledging that women are often the skipper. The continued use of “he,” and “wife” when referring to crew, is not 21st century language. For anyone who ask “why does it matter?” Well if it doesn’t matter then feel free to use “she” every time you refer to a skipper and “husband” every time you refer to crew and see how that goes. As I work to upgrade my skills, the extra effort it takes to get past the assumption by many men that I require their “help” and require them to “explain” basics to me, is exhausting. Small things like using inclusive language really do help over the long term.

Hi Susan. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I know some extremely good female skippers. In fact, three of them won or came second in Clipper Round the World races where I was competing. I also have a lot of experience teaching men and women - and couples. In many cases, the husband is a hindrance to the wife's learning. This is usually coming from a good place (a protective instinct perhaps) but not always. In both cases, I split the couple and send the husband to the bow - or the kettle - whilst the wife is doing something like berthing or leading a sail evolution (like reefing). As you go through my videos, you will see me use him/her or he/she quite regularly - even though the recent trend for pronoun policing makes me react against it. I do witness the 'mansplaining' thing on the water, although the same men also do this with other men. So its not just women that get frustrated by this personality trait. Either way, I do try to be neutral in my language but as I'm a man, sometimes I simply fall into the most natural descriptive and use 'he' as the default. All the best with your continued sailing career. And thanks for your feedback 👍

Lovely clear explanation. In fact excellent. I have 3 notes. 1. You said you would, but didn't cover what happens when you get it wrong. It was like the last page of a whodunnit ripped out of the library book! The anticlimax was palpable. 2. I've been learning for so long, I can remember that airdraught used to be related to MHWS, at least that was what I was taught at the turn of the century. I have a handwritten scrawl of the imminent change, in my 5th edition reeds skippers's handbook (2007) ex Malcolm Pearson. 3. You say on a rising or falling tide... between these two depths. You then agreeably suggest that in reality you should go through nice and slowly. To join those dots, I would submit that ergo you don't really have the options of rising/falling, but just whichever of those equates to going against the stream. Particularly if said stream is springs and you're nearer the mid twelfths. This strategy has the biproduct of reducing the odds of meeting someone coming the other way at the bridge apex....just when you're uncontrollably rocketing through with no water over your rudder. 4. OK I said 3 notes but...in addition to the real life meteorological points you helpfully added... In my brain a bridge (generally) suggests a river. Rivers have a source of water volume and movement, related to rainfall on land, that's in addition to those of tide. It's worth noting these fluval factors exist and can considerably add to strength of stream firstly and secondly volume (height). So even the "stand" will be subject to this....turning it into an ebb of indeterminate strength and depth. In fact moving the expected stand to a different position up or down river. My brain is bleeding. Moral of the story. Don't do these calculations in the week after a storm or period of incessant rain. As in just don't trust air draught calcs in Britain.

Hey Mark, I´m a quite newbie-sailer from Germany and I really appreciate learing from your professional sailing tutorials. Just a quick question from my side on this one. At about 2:55min you are plotting the GPS-position. My question is: Is latitude 001*13.3W correcty set to the right side of 001* on your chart, as you did. I guess 13.3W it should be left side from 001*? Thank you for your feedback. Cheers mate!
@FreeSailingTutorials 4 ай бұрын
Hi - thanks for the question. The latitude is 001 deg 01.13 W. So you find 001 degree, then 13 minutes then the decimal, all going West. That is what is shown. I don't understand your query?

Amazingly I watched this last Saturday. Even though you put a video up of the exact passage in the exact conditions.... Next day at 1500, we (a company of 3), against my recommendations, attempted to head from Lymington to Weymouth with Poole as our fallback, in a WSW F6... on mostly an ebb tide. Exactly the conditions you said not to do it in. Next day was forecast to be worse and we had hoped to eventually get as far as the Dart. Nobody wanted to go east (where we should have made for). We headed for the needles on the end of the flood planning to get through Hurst on near slack and use the tide to get west (even fully expecting the wind over tide). However, the hype word became "fetch" when our latitude got south of Hurst lighthouse and it hit us. Truly big waves and lots of slamming of our flat footed Hanse 418. A modicum of sense prevailed and we returned to base and ate the BBC recipe chilli con carne I'd made at home. That bit was a success. Next day we sat out the gale. Tuesday we set off for Poole with the chance of passing it for Weymouth or heading there on Wednesday. An aside bonus here on Tuesday was at Warden, Needles Channel. No other sail was in sight except one, when MAIDEN! all alone, majestically bedraggled, rounded the needles, back from it's winning circumnavigation. Unable to get our new compressed air horn functioning from it's blasted packaging, the three of us waved, shouted, cheered and clapped the girls as much of a welcome as we could muster, as they headed thru Hurst toward the sails gathering at Cowes on the horizon. The Tuesday Poole passage in the WNW F5/6 was hard and slammy but we got there at the cost of our lady member becoming over attached to the boat bucket for most of it. Next morning (Wed), lots of discussion about the bucket, onward travel westward (but the tides are only 40 minutes different daily and the NE wind strength persistent) or avoiding another extortionate £74 Poole berth cost by exploring brownsea anchorage and heading back next day (Thurs). I proposed going east NOW instead of a day later... The end of the ebb was due at our berth checkout time of noon. We could get south of the island passage all the way to Bembridge and just about squeak over the bar at dusk. Wonderful difference. Nobody sick and an ultra fast comfortable, swept along ride to the white knuckle 0.1m Bembridge bar clearance and our home made curry. Thursday. We scraped over the 0800 top of bembidge tide bar, again by 0.1m, then eased back to Lymington on the ebb tide where our lady partner disembarked a day early. But not before yet again being the only boat to witness Outlaw pass Yarmouth; home from the same race. Thursday evening we untwisted the self tacking jib sheet and decided we'd need to sail next day to test the new knot 😉. Friday we had a rock-fouled anchor, again sheltering from the lunchtime NW wind off Hengistbury Head. Probably we hugged it too much. Our last hurrah was getting it up after an hour of trying different angles and overrunning etc. Next time our passage will be more head over heart. I mean, what's the point of watching sailing tips vids if we then completely ignore them?
@FreeSailingTutorials 5 ай бұрын
That's how experience is built, of course! Years ago, I got stuck trying to beat around St Albans Ledge, with two mates, for about 5 hrs in the rain and fog. Eventually gave up and screamed into Weymouth in an hour! Lesson learned. Sounds like you had a blast though! Coincidentally, about twenty years ago now (maybe more) I floated in circles around Christchurch Bay, all night, right next door to Maiden. We were on a Fastnet Qualifier Race.

@@FreeSailingTutorials I'm reading Tom Cunliffe on an off. He talks about "tiding" the coast as being vastly preferential to demoralising the crew with watches that contain 5 hour stints of heavy duty sailing to largely stay on the spot. I like the romantic idea of long passages and watches but when you can just drop the hook followed by sails and cover almost the same distance,.... the romance pales. Forgotten action. We spronged off and 180° around in the tight Bembridge alongside fairway. It worked perfectly and smoothly and I had great pride and huge superiority until I cleared the over fendered up transom to find the completely unneeded one I'd put to be ultra sure, stuck squarely over the dry air heating exhaust. Defeat from the Jaws of victory.

thanks for the video... what do you mean by "piloting"... as in "We'll probably be piloting anyway?"... Thanks !
@FreeSailingTutorials 5 ай бұрын
Clumsy language, perhaps. I mean that we will probably be navigating largely by estimating our position by way of visual reference to fixed landmarks, bouyage, depths, etc. In the Solent (used for this example) you can usually see channel markers, prominent landmarks and depths where shallows are present, at all times, making the need to plot an EP from this method less necessary in practice. It is used more on coastal or ocean passages when using paper charts.
@johnstarkie9948 2 ай бұрын
Pilotage is navigating using visual signposts, such as buoys. Where there are visual signposts calculating a Course to Steer, or Estimating a Position, is a waste of time. Plan the pilotage. When you are clear of the channel (and of signposts) use the planned Course to Steer. If you can’t sail the planned CtS ask your helmsman for his/her best heading and speed to windward and immediately Estimate a Position for 1 hour; inspect the ground track for hazards

@FreeSailingTutorials 5 ай бұрын
Hi. You would have the boat speed because an estimated position is an historic calculation based on the boat speed over the last hour or part thereof. If you are working on say 30 minutes, you just use a half hour of the tidal vector too. As long as the tidal vector and boat speed vector are over the same time period, the EP will be just as accurate. In this video, I assume a boat speed - see 0:18
@johnstarkie9948 2 ай бұрын
I’m not sure why you don’t have a boat speed; if the built-in log isn’t working get a towed log. You should Estimate your Position for 1 hour as soon as your helmsman reports heading and speed. Inspect the ground track for hazards. An EP is predictive, not historic. It predicts your ground track for the next hour; this tells you whether you will meet hazards on that heading

@@johnstarkie9948 Hi John. Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify the point you make, for others. An Estimated Position is historic when you are plotting from the log, but you can calculate an estimated EP if you so wish. A Course to Steer is, as you know, is effectively predictive.
