Seriously, best video on mooring. I have watched heaps. Well done.

[@dinkonn]

Great explanation! as beginner and hopefully one day owner of boat thank you for great job!

[@russellhopwood661]

Superb explanation. Plus i love seeing Cala Dor marina brings back great memories.

[@petermansion2220]

Great video Nick. Love the shopping trolley!

[@gunterparr1830]

8:02 I would recommend to go now in slow speed forward until you tightened the mouring line. This stabilises the boat in unfavourable weather. Anyhow I found your vid absolutely superb! Servus from Austria

[@TradeWindgng]

Great explanation and illustration

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks MM !

[@jacktyler7599]

Wish I'd known all this before bringing a 13M ketch into the Med from the States. Single prop, no bow thruster, usually some obnoxious wind - it wasn't easy the first few times! Worst part? Definitely those scummy lazy lines that line underwater and gather mud and moss. Definitely recommend gloves when handling lazy lines.

[@dragostodirel4376]

Couldn’t t explain it better

[@ianrkav]

Just watched the Monaco F1GP and seeing those yachts berthed stern to I wondered how they attached those bow lines. Now I know:-) Great explanation:-)

[@Boatscouk]

Cannot beat a trolley 😊

[@madcarew5168]

Very Practical.

[@keith-777]

Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Great video and so easy to understand. Off to TESCO to practice. 👍👍👍

[@calumaitchison]

Excellent instructions to mediterranean docking, but you failed with your knot technique. The cleat hitch at 08:04 is wrong (locking). Improve your knot skills or else use the OXO-method. Greetings

[@darthkek1953]

What's the OXO method?

[@ushi120]

@@darthkek1953Hi, the OXO method or OXXO method is the technique for tying a line to the cleat for UK boaters when they want to take the Yachtmaster certificate. Btw the US Cost Guart teach and use this technique as well. I know this technique as well although I have a German boater's certificate. I assume this is a UK boater, so I recommend he stick with the technique he learned during his training. Where I live, they use to say "Schuster bleib bei deinen Leisten" (cobbler stick to your last). ;-))

[@freespeech7605]

Superb. Only thing I would like to have seen in detail is the operation to reverse in.

[@javierbelmonte3083]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@walkernick86]

Hmmm.... pulling a boat around by the mooring lines rather than using the engine for assistance!? Not so sure about that!

[@sensibleblue]

Really clear and non technical
