I've created some A4 PDF Pro Forma templates for those of you keen to put together a rock solid passage plan, pilotage plan or prepare your crew & vessel for sea without missing something critical. Once downloaded, you can print off the file for your use and use it as an aide memoir or the basis of your own template, as many times as you'd like. You can even laminate them, if that sort of thing floats your boat!

Nicely explained, thank you!

[@tonywalker2372]

There's more to it than at first one would think, thank's for the tutorial.

[@From_Refugee_To_Yacht_Owner]

I'm enjoying the videos. Much appreciated.

[@edwardlongole1081]

Thank you very much!

[@lazalale]

Great video

[@thomasodea4120]

H.A.T isn’t changed for yearly fluctuations in tide hight .. so it’s not for the year as you as you are saying.

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

It's been a while since I recorded this video, so I can't tie your comment to the video. The values of Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) and Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) are usually determined by inspection over a span of years. Springs and neaps vary and are, of course, detailed in the annual almanac.

[@tommooe4524]

Just check your depth and forget the mumbo jumbo

[@FreeSailingTutorials]

Good luck with that.
