Best aids to navigation tutorial I have found by a long shot. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making it.

Thank you so much, it means a great deal to hear such positive comments

Recently found your channel. I completed my Competent Crew with Atlantic Yachting in Langebaan 2 weeks ago. Going for Day Skippers with them in May. I am finding your content extremely satisfying and informative. Your style of graphic representation makes things easy to visualize. Very good job!

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi Clive... please send my regards to Hayley and the rest of the crew at Atlantic yachting, best sailing school ever, no doubt... We also completed our Day Skipper there. Good luck with your next certification, wish you all the best moving forward. Thanks for watching and keep us updated on your progress

You're an absolute legend for bringing this knowledge to the people in such a palatable way. I literally can imagine the amount of work that goes into this and what you're doing amounts to charity for the sailing community.

[@jonnorousseau3096]

I found this super useful in refreshing myself, it's really important to be familiar with colregs buoys shapes lights and sounds, we should all be familiar with all aspects of safety at sea from MOB drill and distress flare use to DSC distress and MSI and general radio telephony protocols to general safe seamanship. You can never be too well informed, prepared or cautious

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks again, much appreciated

Im enjoying these videos and getting a lot out of them. Why did people decide we need an international system of regulations and then make them the total opposite for 50% of the world? You’re killing me.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

glad to hear you're enjoying the videos... yeah the systems were so ingrained in certain areas it did not make sense to change, never mind the financial undertaking would have been huge

[@Dan_C604]

Excellent video. A couple of important notes: it is very important to check the “notice to mariners” because sometimes a lighted mark is no longer working or it has changed recently. The other important note, never sail too close to any mark, keep a safe distance and never mess with them as it is a federal offence. And as in any course will say, “safety first”, always.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

as usual, great advice and input, thanks so much

Best of the best... Excellent video... Just a suggestion. As IALA markings could be confusing, I would complement this video doing 2 more videos, with the same theory, but dividing, one video for IALA zone A, and another for IALA zone B... what we could see from the boat in one of both cases, not both... as usually we navigate just in one zone... Thank you!!! I hope you'll continue doing these excellent videos, the best of the web... (handling of spinnaker, mooring, port operations, etc, etc...) Thanks for the hard work!!

Very informative. I always wonder why they pick the two colors (red and green) that a large part of the population can't tell apart.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

thanks for the comment, wish I had the answer to that one

[@Spetet]

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 Yes, not your fault. I was just looking at the animations wondering what colors the lights are.

[@KingstoneS318]

Thank you for this great video im keeping but it just occured me, if we were approaching from the South to see a west or east mark then yes keep west or east, but what if we're coming from the north or other directions, then the keep west means keep east? Or am l going crazy?... still learning

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

keep in mind, north, south, east and west are directions according to the earth, not your boat. So look at it differently, if you are travelling north then west is on your left, but as you change course and head south, west will be on your right. But relative to the east and west, they will always stay the same. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and adding such great comments.

[@KingstoneS318]

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 AAHHH OFCOURSE! oh God thank you yep that makes sense now, so easy to fall in that trap hey 😊 🌹👍 cheers

[@user-qy7im6wi6v]

At about 8:30 into the video the audio says that port markers always use even numbers and starboard markers always use odd numbers. The audio continues saying that it is the same for both regions. That is wrong. The video itself shows the IALA Region B channel with even numbers on starboard and odd on port, which is correct. The audio should match the video. At about 8:50 the audio says again that the starboard buoys are odd numbered and that it is the same for both regions. Then contradicting itself, the audio finally says starboard buoys in region B are even numbered. In region B starboard buoys are always even numbered.

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

greetings and thanks for the feedback. We encourage dialogue to assist in any way to help ensure we relay the correct information. In response, the colors of the markers are important to note in this clip. Starboard markers will not always be on our starboard side. If we enter a IALA region B channel, the markers on our starboard side (of the vessel), will actually be red Port Laterals, and they will be on our port side (of the vessel) when leaving the channel. Let me know, looking forward to hearing your feedback.

[@allancouceiro9905]

19:32 the diagram shows the colour sectors as "G" and "R". But the preceding animation showed us that if we drift into "sector G" as per the diagram, the red light would be visible. Is this correct?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

well spotted mate, nobody (including myself) picked up on that error... the chart depiction at 19:32 should be marked differently

what page in Nautical Almanac can i find the sound signals?

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

Hi, standard sound signals will not be listed in an almanac. Each vessel is required to use sound signals in fog, which is determined by it's length and function. These can be found online. An almanac will only list specific sound signals relating to a certain area, such as frequency and patterns of fog horns found in an area. Hope this helps...
