[@brutus7319]

Haven't seen you for a while, all ok Tristan?

[@andyblyth4519]

Well done Tristan. It's often difficult but ESSENTIAL that another senior member of the crew can manoeuvre the boat if something happens to you. I have seen this with my yachts in Mexico, the Med and with Captains allowing the First Officer to handle off the dock. how else will people learn? well done the Chief.

[@jaysmith8199]

Good to see the engineer getting some driving time 😊

[@paton57]

As a New Zealander its great to see out flag flying

[@Buddy869-z9x]

Not a New Zealander, but I like seeing it, too. It means someone with a very unique view of the world is nearby.

[@stephenwelch339]

Well docked Chief, you have got a excellent teacher 🎉😊.

[@TradeWindgng]

Great job captain training others onboard on close quarter manoeuvres and ship handling this is maturity in management and confidence in command...Hats up all the way. Well done C/Eng. and crew for excellent communications and team work. Great video Love it Keep them coming please.

[@CPcamaro]

That classic yacht on your port side before you left is gorgeous.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Yes! Love her!

[@Fereo]

A bit weird ending to the video :D

[@hamemoney]

As New Zealander, love seeing our flag flying in Spain.

[@acousticmikeb8119]

Loved your docking and instruction to your Chief. Calm and slow like a pro. Which you are. I’m glad you’re back, as I can see what it’s like to dock one of these big shops. Mine is only 46 feet but I learn from you by just watching ! Thank you!

[@ScottTOFM]

Well done team! Too many captains have too big of an ego to do that. RESPECT

[@lapsedluddite3381]

It's critically important, especially in ocean going, passage making yachts, that crew are cross trained to be able to fill in should any other crew member become disabled at sea. A wise captain knows this and makes sure that this training is accomplished, all senior crew should be comfortable handling the boat, the captain and possibly first mate are able to cover the engineer, and deck crew are rotated through the various positions on deck.

[@Killmore5555]

"Take all the time in the world", slow is pro!!

[@stephenbrentnall]

That way forwards that way backwords lol. You hard man Tristion

[@VincentFumoII]

Can you talk a little about that crab maneuver you guys did? Also just general close quarters maneuvering would be cool to learn about.

[@neilwharton720]

I’m sure he would have found that easier if on the port wing station. Good to see you training the engineer 👍

[@mini_steve]

The only way to learn is by doing it with a qualified and experienced person that is calm and providing clear directions. Nice work chief.

[@godlyobject6509]

I love the technical stuff like this. Thanks so much for bringing us along! Edit: Getting merch from subscribers in a harbor in Spain is so boss. Damnit, that's so cool.

[@mikeuhlmann6825]

Thank you Captain for letting the next generation come up.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

great episode! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe captain, crew and passengers! 👍👍

[@MarkShesrer78]

Fantastic job done by your chief engineer in docking the boat fantastic video as usual

[@neilgibbs3880]

I’m guessing the boss is a a kiwi there to support Emirates Team New Zealand. 😂 Some of the racing has been amazing. Especially yesterday’s racing in the high winds and then thunderstorms. 😂 Come on Luna Rossa.

[@Buddy869-z9x]

The next time I comment, I swear it won’t be about how much I love that bridge and wish it was my office.

[@john9508]

Great video guys and well done Chief in very busy waters. You have a lovely boat next door

[@Nick_G7IZR]

It ended abruptly, did he hit the dock? 😁 Looks like Port Control are kept busy with all the traffic. Interesting video, thanks.

[@remind4396]

I saw Espiritu Santo this morning in Marina Port Vell!!! Beautiful yacht!

[@Starboatbuilder]

Hi Pretty good racing - you are lucky to actually see it. The weather looks okay.

[@billybjingles4705]

Fantastic to see training to the engineer,I have no boating experience but would it of been easier to use the left hand controls so you had eyes on the steamer yacht,loving your vlogs,keep them coming 😊

[@catherinesarah5831]

@@billybjingles4705 The chief was on the port side controls. Perhaps it may have been confusing to see the vid from Tristan’s perspective which tendered to be midships/ starboard because that was his free side. But the Chief was definitely port side. 🙏

[@Cg41418]

It sure doesn’t hurt having the engineers docking the boat. Then they know what it takes if an emergency occurs topside.

[@darz3]

Well done Chief

[@benedekbencegall9339]

That classic looking vessel next to you looks amazingly fabulous! Is there a chance you get invited, to do a tour? Would love to see that. :)

[@cersos]

Crab walking a 60'er is fun. I'd love to try it on something that size.

[@blaise2628]

Capt. Tristan, I noticed the two yachts to your port side have some letter flags out for display. Any chance getting someone, crew or yourself, to translate what there saying? I never miss an episode!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

nice old gentlemen's yacht to the port side there! how old is she any idea? Fair Lady built 1928 refit in 2023! very nice!

[@philc2457]

You could just get like a Ring camera, mount it on the stern, and then view it on the ipad from the wing station

[@pkane5472]

That would take all the fun out of talking on the radios!

[@richardcorcorran8965]

Well done, bravo

[@MichaelCoIIins]

Its soooo stupid mate, You being back where you belong, your awesome content, hearing just that voice again. Its like running into a old mate after years and picking up just where you left. Glad you back on the yt's again Tristan! Ngl would be awesome seeing you as pauls counter on Loon :D or on this loon when they get the new yoke :D

[@RVestvik]

Again, a good and informative video. Nice to see that you tech others your skills aswell. If I may comment, a bit sudden end to the film... no outro.... that was new :)

[@AdventuresonTour]

Push those forward the boat goes that way LOL... too funny

[@whallengwh]

We are pretty good skippers us Engineers. During the 87 AC me and my skip shared duties out on the AC coarse on our 150ft cat.

[@pyrraca478]

Holly sh.. Tristan, with you always looks easy peasy😍

[@joannebrown2392]

Fantastic to see the NZ flag flying on the boat. Go the Kiwis! 🇳🇿😁

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

Hey, you got a helmsman! Nice! By the way, I was watching another channel TimBatSea (a tug captain operating on the US east coast) and he had a nice way of describing rotating motions on the boat. Instead of "port ahead, starboard astern" he would say "right twist" meaning the boat would rotate with the bow heading right. With a little practice, it becomes intuitive to move the throttle controls to twist left or right.

[@lems18902]

I was TimBatSea as well. Great channel!

[@lapsedluddite3381]

I love TimBatSea, it's a great channel!

[@michaelscott4766]

A great video as always. Although it did end somewhat abruptly was that because you asked the engineer about his quayside assignation from last week, something the world is waiting for an update on, and he threw you overboard?

[@michaelgothenburg364]

Thank you, informative video, much appreciated

[@redwalsh87]

Tristan, you forgot to tell him where the brakes are 😅😅

[@robmccall5017]

Did not know Jason Statham was working with You! 😅 Nice Video als always.

[@herbward5240]

No wonder the Navy has kids driving 2 billion dollar frigates. All the competent young men with extensive marine experience are super yacht captains, engineers and crews.

[@gsxrjeff]

bloody hell,much respect

[@asd67lkj]

I think he earned an extra beer for that effort.

[@rockyorchid]

As you are a Brit Captain Tristion don't forget it was Merchant Navy day on the 3rd Sept 👍

[@EMO940-r7u]

Is this a Kiwi owned and Kiwi crewed boat? Great to see the Kiwi flag flying on this sad day in New Zealand. Thank you.

[@vanhaus5022]

A lot going on here, you damm well better know what your doing that’s for sure.. 👍👍👍

[@StageMan57]

Sooooo! That's what an Engineer looks like! Good to know! 😁😁😁

[@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl]

This video is 3 weeks old! Update?? ❤❤

[@jameskaufmann4260]

Just a quick question. Why do you have so many flags, and when do you change them and why? Really enjoy watching your videos even though I don't know what you are doing.

[@dangordon5510]

The more i watch the more i see how well Espírito Santo is constructed. What is the biggest difference between corporate and private ownership?

[@alansmith3959]

Nice job guys, good to see the Kiwi flag flying 👍

[@walkaboutclive]

Another cool vid ….Question do you still own the Marmite car ???

[@bobuncle8704]

As you always say, slow is pro

[@FrancSchiphorst]

Where's part 2?? :D

[@yannicnoack5389]

I wonder whether recording and publishing radio communications, especially those from other ships is something the MCA is fond of... Great video though! Thanks

[@paulohara1502]

Brilliant 👌😊✌️

[@MrPurpleraine11]

i was wondering does your current yacht control system work as good as the Volvo Penta TPS system or not, and are larger yachts moving over slowly to the Penta systen or are they not really suitable for larger vessels? Enjoying your content! o7

[@timf6916]

Good job

[@billcrystal]

I just bought a new Mac computer and need editing software, what would you recommend! I trust your judgement!

[@GlennCrawford]

Good video.... Abrupt ending. 🤷‍♂️

[@catherinesarah5831]

🦘🇦🇺Awesome teacher, great student Thank you Tristan. Great show of boatman’s ships. 🛥️🙏

[@JohansGrandBanksSaabEtc]

Are the wood handrails varnished? Or some kind of composite material?

[@stephenscott963]

Hey Cap, Did u happen to ever download pre/post departure check lists and any others, engineers etc, hopefully getting a position soon and it would help greatly! We were evacuated from our home in Florida as we were the worst hit, and after a month away and losing most everything, looking forward to a possible position and again your help w the above mentioned would be of great help! Also would love to meet at some point if u are ever in the west coast of Florida! Keep up the great videos!

[@davidthompson9879]

Tristan how far ahead are you booking marina berths? Also how are you handling working in the med after Brexit?

[@Frazemac1]

Nothing worse than an engineer that wants to be the captain lol Just kidding not kidding. Good content mate

[@Starboatbuilder]

Hi Tristan What's happening. I see we are down to the Final Two ' go GB go Need comment from out on the water

[@socksoffladygoatboy1655]

yo Tristan, what up? Any update?

[@barryklempel7071]

What happened been a couple weeks and we your viewers got left in the middle of the races. 😢

[@gimmejr]

Is this now "The super yacht docking" channel?

[@schrauberrolf7672]

👍👌

[@alessandrobragantini]

3:54 what the name of the boat in front? i was watching america's cup on tv and i tried to search the vessel on marine traffic but i wasn't able to find it. Is anyone kind enough to explain me what i did wrong? I'm new to this world ;)

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Vava 2

[@gregrupar135]

Always easy as an armchair qb. Not so much when it’s millions of dollars and people watching you. Good job

[@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl]

DID YOU QUIT POSTING VIDEO'S???😮😮😮

[@lucasxavier3564]

Was that MY Fair Lady docked next to you ?

[@groet508]

So first he gets the girl and in the next episode he gets the boat...

Hello sir i'm Mustafa from Türkiye i have 500 grosston yacht captain license. And i have 5-6 six months experince but not on yachts. So i want to work on yachts now. What advice would you give me and do you know anyone who needs officer.

You ok? Have not seen a new video in ages?

[@AbdulRahim-cu7y]

Hi! Do you edit videos yourself or have you hired someone? I’m an editor and would love to discuss, if you’re interested

[@Bushmoose]

Where did you disappear to? Get your ass fired by the owner?

I don't know how you guys understand each other on the radio. It's unintelligible.

[@giorgosprotopsaltes-zo3ld]

👍

[@IsmailNuzaifKokky]

[@lucaitaly1975]

I dont' think it's 100% correct. The captain should be "at helm" during ducking and leaving.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

How else will anyone else learn?

[@ianjackson8643]

Tristan is in control and close enough to take over if things go pear shaped you have to trust your crew when training them

[@TheCarlanthony]

Happens frequently regardless of ship how else do they learn and go through the ranks.

[@lems18902]

If that was the case…no one else in the world could ever become a Captain…because they would not know how to dock….

[@lucaitaly1975]

@@lems18902 i learned how to dock a ship by a qualified instructor captain. I respect 100% captain Tristan but i would not let a crew member to train on a commercial vessel.
