Love those older boats that have been loved and maintained. Beautiful, classic lines 🥰

I love the older boats, too. I have a 1976 Carver that restored. We spend a lot of time on it in the summer.

[@ThomasKuhar]

38 ft. Hatteras, NICE! Those are Detroit diesels you hear.

[@StarshipTrooper2050]

36’ Egg Harbor…1978…still rocks!

[@danielpothier9990]

If you really want to impress those who understand. Practice seamanship and boat handling like this Captain. No showboat macho movie crap. Just nice and easy. No drama.

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@danielpothier9990 we try to promote what works. Keeping the drama to a minimum. Merry Christmas.

[@petepeterson5337]

Absolutely! Ex commercial guy here from a multi-generation boating family. My grandfather couldn't say "yachtsman" without a snarl in his voice, but we ALL were delighted when we saw a boat owner practicing boat handling at a wharf to build their skills.

[@JamesSheridan-td4ci]

I think that is a Hatteras 38 DC, likely -53 series Detroit’s.

[@dougnashz]

Yes and not 35 years old, more like 50-55 years old

I will call her a Chris Craft, the deck house is nothing like a Hatt nor the windshield.

[@stinker43]

I wouldn't do that dragging a dinghy like they are. He's lucky he has as much crew as he does. I am always trying to do something like this with only maybe 2 of us aboard, and always in a current. I'd also only try it with bow or stern thruster (or both).

[@DriveSafeDon]

Obviously, the owner of that boat knows what he’s doing. He even had his two crew on the bow for back up. Total experience is a great thing to have on any size boat and this captain has it. Well done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@DriveSafeDon all it takes is practice. 👍🏼

[@DriveSafeDon]

@ it takes common sense on knowing how to handle a twin screw

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@DriveSafeDon we train many new owners who have never driven a boat of any size before. You might be surprised at what is not innate or common sense. But! they are smart enough to know they will benefit from a professional training Captain.

[@DriveSafeDon]

@ no doubt training is a big plus on a boat especially the part when you tell them don’t drink and drive. Thank you for your reply. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@GarikKniazev]

Sir, I love your videos, I recommend you to use a microphone, they are not expensive at all now. Thank you for your videos.

[@AskCaptainChris]

Yup. Got em. Sometimes I don’t plan to film as I am teaching and something pops up too good to miss that I want to share with everyone. Sorry for wind in the mic. That’s called boating. 😎 Thanks for watching.

[@juancatfish1]

Why?

[@patdghop]

I agree with previous post. Need a wi d screen on that mic.

[@AskCaptainChris]

We do not disagree that it would be nice to always have filters on our videos. But you might not understand that we don’t always set out to video for KZbin. In fact, most of what we capture is bonus from our time training aboard with a client. When you DON’T hear the wind then we had a “cat” on the mic to muffle. But when training we try to make our filming as unobtrusive for the student trying to learn. (No film crew either usually just me, the training captain). Hope you still saw something of value on our daily posts.

Single engine or twin? If single with opposite rotation, he may have had difficulty making turn to starboard in the narrow fairway.

[@ThomasKuhar]

38 ft....definitely Twins!

[@jamesranker6275]

Twins without a doubt.

[@n40tom]

​@@ThomasKuhar The length of the boat has absolutely nothing to do with it's a single engine or twin screw . There are a lot of large vessels out there very large with only one engine

[@AskCaptainChris]

I don’t believe that this manufacturer built a single engine boat of any size.

Good morning. Vry smooth opperation

[@AskCaptainChris]

Another cool FL morning. Yes this ghuy was a smooth operator. The dinghy gave him a bit more to deal with but it all worked out.

[@johnm5714]

Good morning-a balmy 17.6 degrees on Eastern LI this morning…how’s it by you Walter? Poor Chris is got his long John’s on because it’s 62 degrees down in Vero-LOL

@@AskCaptainChris WOW-so it really is COLD,in a Florida way… Back in 87/88 I watched it get below Freezing in Stuart/PSL and the amount of you alls outdoor plumbing that blew up was incredible.Someone on US1 left the sprinkler system on over night and there were icicles hanging from Palm trees in front of the place in the morning. That was quite a sight to see. Those 2 things should never be in the same mix-They had pics of it in the PalmBeach post that day.

[@brianklawitter8710]

I hate to correct you publicly in one of your videos, captain however, I’m compelled to let you know that was not coconut. That was Wisconsin cheese. 😊

[@travcon8]

lmao I didn't see any cheese heads on the boat.

[@brianklawitter8710]

@ my attempt at humor came from Chris saying the boat was registered in WI and he could smell the coconut tanning lotion. I’ll just go back to studying the rules of the road.

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@brianklawitter8710 your comment IS funny. It just took me a little longer than usual to see it and respond. I will be cheering for the Saints tonight. Sorry packers fans. 🧀

You really have to do something with the wind noise on your microphone.

[@AskCaptainChris]

@@9531-d7w nope. That’s real boating. And if I had a film crew they could film while I am training my client.

Please use a mic with a wind muffler. Couldn't understand anything you said.
