Excellent. Good tip about getting the mainsail ready to hoist before leaving the dock. I used to sail with an old guy who - like that - trusted his sails much more than the engine; he would nearly always have the mainsail up, even when motoring, so that he had some control if the engine died.

I can safely say, that this is one of the most important and very well explained boat prepping presentations, I have seen on KZbin. Well Done, Marco for, yet again, taking your time in presenting an exceptionally great tutorial. This is certainly one of the clips I will refer to more frequently.

Thanks Marco, great video series. One safety item I had my sailmaker sew is a collision cloth. It's a triangular waterproof fabric about a metre per side with strong grommets at the corners, each tied to a 5 metre line. If your hull is breeched by a log or reef, you secure the cloth over the hole like a bandage. Two lines to the toerail on the stricken side. The third, weighed down with a weight (I used a rubber anchor roller) run from the bow under the hull to the other side. The whole thing rolls up compactly and can be stored in the anchor locker. Admittedly, dealing with the hole from the inside may be easier but with hull liners or cabinetry, it may not be feasible.

Thanks for the comment Ian. I remember reading about something similar in a Patrick O'Brien novel. I believe they called it "fothering" Nice piece of kit to have for that one in a million event

Sometimes when I get a notification of one of your new videos, I think "I know everything there is to know about that". But I watch anyway and I'm always glad I do. You do an excellent job and I always learn something or am reminded of something I've stopped doing. Also, great graphics showing equipment locations on your boat. So THANKS. One request - when you do your episode on tides and current, please reinforce the difference. I very often hear better sailors than me say "I was fighting the tide". To which I respond "how did you fight the vertical movement of your boat?". You did a good job showing the difference in this video but if people would simply say "tidal current" vs. "tide", they would be technically correct.

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I couldn't agree with you more. I always stress the difference when teaching that lesson, tides are vertical movement and currents are horizontal movement. What I find in my area is people using tide tables to predict tidal current. Thanks again for the support.

It is always good to review the basics, no matter how many years of experience one has. We all get lazy from time to time.

15:29 check for *water* in the Diesel fuel *Water separator* (!!) Check for air in the diesel filter if you have a transparent one.

@@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine I learned it the hard way 😉 Condensation water collects in the tank over time, especially in winter on a non-full tank. It stays at the bottom of the tank and will be sucked up when the boat is rocking... Always bad timing for engine failure. Costed my insurance $3000-$6000 for a 30 tow. It's like a scam. Instead, in the Netherlands, keep the app from KNRM at hand for free rescue. Thank you for all the great videos. I'm learning how to sail since this summer, want to go to sea next summer... Your videos helps a lot!

sort of a leagal question. Boats flagged in other nations should / must carry Canadian safety gear while in Canadaian waters? I guess this would apply to all vessels visiting another nation, adhere to local laws. Check before you go, I suppose.
