Mega Yacht Tow with Cape Ann Towing

Different Tugs in different areas doing different things. In this episode, we spend the day with the good People at Cape Ann Towing and ride along with them as they bring a Mega Yacht in.

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

Another grand day of tugging!😄 What I find most admirable in this profession is imagining you guys doing the same in the most adverse conditions- night, dense fog, chop, wind, and who knows what else I’m forgetting. It’s always enjoyable to watch a tradesman in top form executing finely honed skills. Thanks Tim B.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Ken! CUOTO

[@tommypetraglia4688]

There's never any rush, as the schedule is more flexible than the bow. So just wait a spell til the conditions are right. The log entry for that is 'Wx' signifying Weatherbound

[@shaunolinger964]

Tim, this is awesome... I love watching you and your associates doing what you do. This one is especially fun... see, I built an RC tug that has towed me, my wife, and my daughter in our kayaks. A 35 lb, 3½ ft long tug pulling over 700 pounds. I have a video of it on my KZbin channel, "Tugboat "Atlantic" taking the load". I kept ventilating my azipod props until I got it fixed, but so far I have measured just over 9lbs bollard pull. There's a lot more there, but I haven't had a chance to try again recently. Anyway... watching you and Cape Ann Towing maneuver this yacht is a lot of fun. Mainly because I am learning how to do the same thing with my 17ft, 300 lb kayak coming on and off the dock. I'm actually learning tricks on here of how to do it better myself!

That's great Shaun. I'll have to check it out. CUOTO

[@captdavec590]

Wow, this video "hit home"! Some day I will tell you the story of when I waited almost 7 hours for a tow one night while running a 100' Burger which went "dead" in the water off the battery. I lost all power, including the gennys, so a few panic-stricken pax called the marine police....what a mess...traumatic at the time; but really funny in retrospect!

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

I tow pleasure vessels and yachts in WA state. Biggest I have towed is 51 feet. I don't have a 650 HP mini tug. Would be a luxury to have a stern tow to help keep control of "the landing"! It is said, a chimpanzee can fly a jetliner, but you need a pilot to land it. Towing is hours of boredom interspersed with moments of shear terror, usually around the landing. On this job they had a nice calm day. That yacht has a huge sail area. Then again, maybe they waited until it was calm. We schedule our tight jobs around tide changes, forecasted winds, and actual winds.

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching Mike. I believe Cape Ann does most jobs regardless of the wind but not at the heap of the tide. CUOTO

Fun look into the world of the rich and famous! Way back in the 70’s when I was in the Coast Guard in New London, we got a call from the Captain of the Yacht owned by the owner of Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas. They were going to dock at Mystic Seaport but were unfamiliar with the Mystic river and bridges. The Yacht was about 125 feet, so it was a challenge. I volunteered to ride along on my own time as a pilot. That was quite a fun trip. Barely inches to spare getting through the RT. 1 bridge. The yacht was incredible, and so were some of the young ladies aboard!

[@PillSharks]

Nice little job, although I really can’t see why the captain of the super yacht just doesn’t take a pilot (if there’s one for the area) and go up under her own steam, I would think she’s nearly as manoeuvrable as the tugs...I guess money is know object! Also, just a little thing I noticed, we normally cross our towing gear over which give you a slightly better angle... I guess with twin screw engines and big power they don’t worry too much, we do work like this with single screw boats so we need all the help we can get! Another great video anyway and looks like you had a great day for it, it’s normally blowing a bastard for us with rain...

[@TimBatSea]

Thank you for watching. I believe a pilot would cost much more than the two tugs on this job. And besides, having to stop for traffic or a problem in those areas would not be a good situation without tugs. And lastly, as Captain Day stated, it is so shallow that this ships propellers could stir up things off the bottom that could easily clog the intakes. CUOTO

Nothing like trying to parallel park a super yacht in a tight space. Awesome work by Captain Day of the Cape Ann. I'm curious to what vessel Capt Day skippers for his own recreation? Cheers and #CUOTO.

Thank you for watching William. I don't think he knows how to recreate. Lol. He works all the time. (Maybe he'll jump in here and answer directly). CUOTO

Great Video! I understand the physics involved in this iteration but how it is used is much harder to grasp. The skill involved as well as the specific techniques are flat out amazing. Best wishes and a big thank you to the folks at Cape Ann Towing for taking us along. CUOTO Ed

Wow. That was cool. Being a flat lander this fascinates me. Fun to see what other people do for a living.

You wouldn't want to be doing this dance with a fresh breeze adding to the mix. The side of that yacht would definitely make a big sail.

Thank you for watching. We certainly had good conditions that day, but know that they have been bringing in these ships for more than 40 years in all kinds of different conditions. We just got a very nice day to shoot this video. CUOTO

Always interesting video Tim. Boat handling is a master piece. And you show good examples. Including your selves. Using two engines, is great art, when you know how 👍👍👍 hope you will wisit your friend more times. Sorry for bad English 🤪 greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
