How to: Mooring | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@josephc2926]

I've been boating over 50 years and find Mr. Mendez's videos essential for every new boater and a great refresher for a seasoned sailor like myself. Clear, calm and instructive, I recommend his series (along with a copy of Chapman's) to all of my boating colleagues. Well done !

[@Sperious]

These tutorials are among the best on KZbin. Very informative and clear, calm instructions. Thank you!

[@TR4zest]

As someone new to boating, these video tutorials are so helpful. Thank you.

[@stevejohnsonm.a.7557]

Thanks for your easy-to-watch tutorials for us newbies!

[@tdubb1249]

Really well explained and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@dmitryd4787]

The best video about mooring to a buoy I found

[@johncooper2707]

I have been boating for some years but find your web casts really helpful. Thanks

[@johncooper2707]

@Randy Saint you don’t belong on this site. Bye!

[@dalefountain9269]

Love yout video's John, thankyou.

[@dougshirley3460]

Gotta love how all of these tutorials are done with a twin engine boat, lots of room, no wind, no sea, perfect conditions with crew. Lets see one done single engine, single handed, very restricted area & 20+kts of wind. Real world for some of us.

[@essietel1196]

Twin engine and bow thrusters...

[@richeewellardoz3298]

Right on! Dougie we both live in the real world

[@paullylambert5386]

Basics can be taught in a classroom but real world experience is up to your self to learn from !

[@NoChrReq]

this!

[@miket939]

very good tutorial enjoyed the simple relaxed stress free and clear dialogue, the bow line to stern to the buoy was educational, shame there are not more of these yacht technique tutorials - thank you

[@Spin3l3ss]

You got twin engine and you can use the engine to help swivel the boat so you dont have to pull the line or be strong. learn to use the boat as the "power" and yourself as just holding on the line. If you train to pull and when its get windy you dont have the strength anymore to move a large boat....

[@farouqomaro598]

Great and valuable lesson, very easy to grasp too

[@weareadventuresam]

Thank you for this. I'm new and my concern is what you mentioned about the buoy line getting caught in the prop. How do you know where the line is to avoid it if you can't see through the water? This is very helpful thank you so much.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Very helpful and easy to understand. 💝Thank you! 🤗💞🤗

[@MrLee23]

Great Video.

[@adriangartland2533]

Hi, quick question. My wife and I did a night on a mooring bouy recently. However the stern kept swinging left and right through 90 degrees constantly. Thus was wondering was my line to short? Would a longer mooring line reduce this? Found i got a tad queezy looking at a constantly changing horizon 🤢

[@dammitau]

top effort on the video!

[@LovingAtlanta]

❓Does anyone know exactly what kind / make / model / name / size of the boat / yacht used in this demo?

[@martinvelesik6099]

look like 2013 Sessa Marine F40

[@LovingAtlanta]

Martin Velešík - 👍Thank you.💝

[@bernardwarr4187]

Very good

[@jbss7382]

+ybwtv, Great to see another training video John. Even though I’m not an owner, did my time on air sea rescue training launches and we used to teach and practice these techniques on much larger (220 ton and 80 foot) boats. Nice new boat too. Thanks again, jonathan

[@jrgenpedersen143]

Tak for gode tricks. 👍🇩🇰⚓.

[@UncleEarl97]

I hope that radar dome telescopes up because otherwise it looks like the radio waves are hitting the back of his head as he sits at the flybridge helm, and driving at speed underway with bow raised a few degrees means greater chance of those radio waves passing through your head. I've seen a lot of boats set up that way, why? Worse if he stands at the fly helm at speed.

Maybe Johnathon does not want any more children as sterility is the result of this radiation!

[@mackanb62]

You manage other than dead calm condition?

[@sleebeni331]

What boat is that?

[@mukaleri]

Sessa Marine F40 if I'm not wrong

[@thepentium2080]

yeah...is the F40, the fly version of the c40 (in europe c38 and the my boat :-) )

[@DrCrabfingers]

Ok! That was great! That last technique seems invaluable. Can I ask...how do you know a buoy is a mooring buoy and not a lobster pot or something? And do you need permission to tie to a mooring buoy?....as some mooring buoys will be privately owned and placed there by people who have paid for the privilege.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Many people pronounce it boo-ee. Which is correct?

[@brian.7966]

NO need to cry over it. BOUY BOUY BOUY.

[@DrCrabfingers]

American Boo-ee....English/French Boy!! The English/French is correct as per the French spelling but who gives a damn...as long as we all know what we mean.

[@jimgalligan50]

Really a life jacket & where's your white claw lol

[@kitokito0.0]

you absolutely murdered that bow thruster you shouldn't use it more than 3 seconds without releasing it , it can get toasted..

[@susansutton8537]

You don’t show the type of knot to use….

[@MotorBoatYachting]

We've got another video for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3i9q6Z-rMl_isk
