Tris, nice episode. Enjoyed this even more than the first. One comment, though, applicable to both episodes: I would have love another 10 minutes or so, seeing the owners putting into practice the advice you gave in the debrief at the end. Lovely series so far!

[@markchip1]

Tristan - Please don't do any more head-mounted views like the first 15 & last 5 minutes, unless it's actually necessary. The constant motion of the camera almost made me feel queasy while watching the video!! A nice steady tripod-mounted, or even sat on the table, view would have been entirely sufficient. Or perhaps get a camera with stronger image stabilisation to try out. It's entirely different if you're moving around the boat or doing a tour.

[@cvs8545]

Agree

[@markstowe3087]

Love it Sir, would also love to see you in command of your own next MY! Hope and prayers coming your way!

[@billvs6505]

I'm really enjoying this series (as I did your previous one). My only suggestion, respectfully submitted (please take this in the manner of constructive criticism), is to let others finish their thoughts before you respond. I get that you have a great deal of knowledge and are anxious to impart that to boat owners, but they have numerous questions too - let them ask them. For many of these folks, imparting information to them raises a multitude of questions they may want to ask. I've been a small boat operator since my dad took me out on the Chesapeake Bay when I was a kid. I'm 70 now, and I'm always learning more, especially as I watch your channel. If only each person who operates a boat could receive some lessons from you - the water would be a much safer place!

[@bruceroaf5750]

If i ever get that lottery win i will invite you onboard the super yacht lol in the mean time I can manage my 7mtr Rib another great video so good to see you on the water

[@patricklarue2023]

Quick tip , on the gen sets, looks like a Cummins onan, on the Caterpillars, we started to install a small strainer between the water pump and the cooler. Helps keeps the rubber from the impeller from fouling / clogging the cooler. Love ya mate !!!

[@paulfrancisco8846]

Thats a great idea if there is room.

[@Lamarama]

Sitting in the cabin on our 25ft motorboat. Straight shaft, no thrusters. Would be great to have your take on docking it in side wind :)

[@JedemPoKucama]

Do it fast and jump out even faster😂

[@darthkek1953]

Retrofit a bow thruster !!

[@buoyohbuoy790]

And be super conservative at the beginning! If it doesn’t look good, go out and try again. Even the most minor incident will be a blow to your confidence. So don’t take any risks… Additionally, from personal experience, a high windage boat like this one, will tend to oscillate if you let out a lot of chain when winds are strong (in the med it happens all the time). The windlass is robust, so it would not have an issue handling the loads, yet the rollers will suffer and make ugly noises. So I always use a snubber in high winds at anchor, and lay out as much scope as I safely can. The snubber helps keep the anchoring system healthy, so everybody on board (specially those on the bow cabin), can sleep peacefully at night. And never forget the anchor alarm!

[@bennymusicandstuff]

Such a good content. Super Yacht or smaller boat. What you say applies. Saftey, planning and all. Thanks. Its so useful. ⛵ Looking forward to the next episodes to come. 😎

[@thebluecarbon1410]

Thank you for the content I am really enjoying it! You are always very calm and positive but at the end of the day I should have expected that from someone like you. All the infos at the beginning are super interesting too. The couple I think did very good too. I get it's probably very important to become good at manouvering the "classic" way but I think that a bit of technology retrofit would actually make their life so much easier and they would actually enjoy their beautiful boat even more. Nowadays you can get 360 camera view, virtual anchor and joystick control which automatically counters wind action. I get it comes at a cost but it would probably be a good investment. What do you think? Keep it up, can't wait for the episodes to come!

[@thebluecarbon1410]

If someone is wondering what I'm talking about here is a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKSbp2uMeMmAbM0&ab_channel=VolvoPenta

[@floodo1]

same thing for cars nowadays really as well. I won’t buy a car that doesn’t have blind spot monitoring for example, too risky.

[@samiperkio2221]

All those extra stuff you can get on a boat/car! Just makes captains or drivers more lazy, which also leads not so skillfull at longterm.. Those things can also break and what happens when people who only have used to use them and trust them 100% suddenly dont have em??

[@littleboatcaptain6962]

Brilliant Tristan once again you smashed it If I keep learning from these videos, I will be a captain 👌👍

[@cecillee2543]

Another great episode. I'm learning a lot. Thanks, Tristan!

[@jeffrandall4046]

Omg…I need a seasickness pill to deal with this video…so much movement

[@bobuncle8704]

So much valuable information. This is a great series

[@andrewrlitster9966]

Boat owners , will need a Skippers Ticket at least. I doubt that a few days or weeks will give them what they need .. OR Tristan are providing a yacht training course as part of your new business. Yes I have my MASTER 5 IN 1991 many years ago.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Tristan, this new series you are doing is very informative. Keep up the great work. I'm sure that it will be beneficial to so many boaters.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Tristan, John Gauntlett in North Carolina, it's amazing how much the spam bots are now out there. Robert Arrington from deer meat for dinner set me straight on it. Now I'm getting Instagram numbers to contact them off of making a comment on your KZbin channel. Just wanted to let you know.

[@DNHarris]

Loving the series. A great job covering the safety and checklists. I loved seeing the docking procedures. I hope the owners enjoy her for years to come!

[@toolbox-gua]

Great series. When we see a mistake and the correction, then we see (hear) the preventing action and the absence of error, we do understand. As opposed to just a narrative of "if you don't do this, this might happen". Tks.

[@paterson00]

Absolutely loving the series. We see so many videos of people sailing around the world on sail boats with tips etc but nothing in this area. I'm currently in ownership of a Four Winns Vista 288 and having jumped up from a bowrider this is a new learning curve so your vudeos are fantastic so far. I would love to see your tuituon on the elements of RYA Yachtmaster as I assume that is the qualification required to operate the superyachts that you have been. Can you tell any more about other qualifications that may help if that was an avenue I wanted to persue? Currently hold Coxswain grade 1 in Australia which seems to be similar to Yachtmaster but perhaps not as in depth and doesn't appear to be recognised internationally unfortunately. Anyway, keep up the great work.

[@PowerYacht]

What the owner said of the fuel tanks is not correct. When they are linked if you fill up one side you might end on average a 25% less full total tank capacity. In order to this correct with dual tanks, you fill one, then the other, and the go again to the first tank you where filling. It might be a 500 litres in a boat with 2200 litres capacity when you do this, which if you do a long range trip is not little.

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

Great channel,is there any chance you can let us know how to handle a Princess S 78 as I’ve got a feeling in my bones about tonight’s numbers!

[@rebekahlow8375]

You're a wonderful teacher! I look forward to the next episode. Love from Vermont

[@skiingfast1]

Docking in the wind, should always be practiced. Sometimes the weather disagrees.

[@wjhann4836]

I was very glad to see that also Lida had her training. I often see, that the owner does it all - and all other family members fall behind. That's not good since the owner could also become incapable and the horror begins for the other partner. Also I think the ladies should do more of the docking maneuvers since working the lines can be heavy work - work that for me is more suited to men. Just think of handling the often really big and dirty mooring lines.

[@thegreenengineer7994]

Isn’t there a Standard equipment on a life raft which are mandatory? Where minimum amount of water food, first aid rescue equipment is listed? I got once inspected by authorities if I have all the stuff that is mentioned and even recommended more stuff to have.

[@thegreenengineer7994]

Before I was allowed to drive my boat I had to do a long certification course. Is that not normal that you make a license? Like for a car? (But I also thought that to become a captain you must visit college for at least 4 years but this is only the case in Germany it seems)

[@jwyzdm]

Very good, a How To by someone that truly knows how to do it and has done it. I will go back and watch the 1st episode.

[@Div3r]

when counteracting current or wind I like to visualize it as if I'm leaning into the wind then you can understand as soon as you stop leaning Into the wind, the wind or current is going to win.

[@DJL625]

Very informative ! Excellent!

[@ralfralfsen261]

Owner: opening the valve between the two tanks is not recommended. The rebalancing happens slower than filling up one of the tanks and you end up not having the max tank capacity and range.

[@darthkek1953]

First Aid Kit ... I always took a small first aid kit with me camping (wild-camping/hiking, Scotland). Then one day during an utra "gram counting" moment I decided FREAK IT do I REALLY need it? I left it at home but the Boy Scout in me turned around after a mile came back and collected it. That trip was the first time I got an injury, a big gash on my hand (processing wood). So I cleaned the wound and put some bandage on it and continued camping. The only time I ever needed a kit was the only time I left home without it (albeit went back to collect it).

[@dwtrksvc]

A head mounted camera? You are better than that. I get more motion sickness watching this than actual on water videos.

[@Moescampermansion]

You should do a video with Jim Davidson, I think he has a princess 61

[@robertfrost1683]

The camera movement is distracting, take a not for the future. Be very careful wearing Jewelry - it can be dangerous. Great Video Beautiful boat and lucky crew.

[@paulfrancisco8846]

Hi. In episode 2 and 3 i see you dropped the ground line and let it sink. How do you retrieve it when you return to the dock?

[@bigstyx]

Only negative thing is the Volvo engines It does comes down to reliability and availability of parts. Probably my most disappointing thing to see on a boat. I prefer Caterpillar and parts are everywhere in the world you can get them in less than a day usually. Cummins is 2nd Choice even though the parts are a little harder to get but still easier than Volvo. MTU are good engines and reliable but the cost is extremely expensive up there with Volvo.

[@bigstyx]

Camera work in this one is getting me seasick in my kitchen lol

[@BridMhor]

It would be great if you made these new videos an hour long. You spend 3 days with the people so you should have the material. Very interesting 👍.

[@Ticklemetuesdaygoose]

This is fantastic way to use your knowledge and your channel!!

[@remotaurog]

I learnt so much watching your series ,we chartered a boat on river Bann ,my parking was next level ,thanks bro.

[@nicke6394]

Really interesting. I’m from a sailing yacht background so to see motor yacht handling with all your different thrusters is fascinating.

[@mkbasile]

Great content. Thank you. I wish I had this channel before I bought my first boat.

[@daveredknapmedium]

I’ve watched and enjoyed all of your material from AWOL. This video was so informative! Great to watch and learn from!

[@SGudur]

One thing that I observed is that you keep inspiring!! You never say, "You were wrong".

[@andrewwoodall2214]

These are great videos... Love seeing families getting familiar with their boats.. I had no clue all that is involved in owenership!!!

[@dalefountain9269]

Very good video, I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@jjansen987]

What a wealth of great knowledge! Thank you and look forward to seeing many more.

Well done to this couple. They can be proud of this initiative. I wished everybody did the same. Greeting from France

Yeah more Boat videos :)

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Great video. I love this series.

[@JedemPoKucama]

Beautiful Princess

[@TheDamian418]

Love the series, Tristan!

[@paulc3625]

Great vid from an AWOL follower. Just two quick observations - consider using a mic for each person involved in the filming as this will cut out wind noise etc, and that "empty" feeling in say the saloon. Secondly, how about setting up bow and stern cameras as you've done in the past on AWOL when berthing? Looking forward to the next vids.

[@paulkersey2179]

SYC, great stuff, but speaking of seasickness, maybe you should put the camera on the tripod.

[@IsmailNuzaifKokky]

.

[@CLHLC]

Love it!!!

[@davidrobertson606]

Well done. You are good instructor. I have seen large super yachts with captains that yell at the crew when docking. You keep people calm by being calm. We have a 38 foot aft cabin SeaRay dry weight is 20,000 pounds. We were told once you drop the anchor to back up to set anchor after you secure it so it does not pull on the windless. This we do by backing up under idle power until the boat no longer is moving. The chain almost goes straight out and the boat stop. If you are in rock some time the anchor will grab and release. We have chain painted in 25 increments. The chain is painted red at the anchor and at the end other marks are white.

[@mrBernsten]

I learned that you always need to reverse ( 1500rpm) to really get the anchor to grip.

[@juanpabloopazo68]

Great Videos ! Keep the episodes rolling . Can you reccomend us some must books to have . Thx

[@fxnn9056]

That you are filiming this in Alicante makes watching so much More fun cause i was in the port on 51 sailboat in the summerholidays for 8 year straight, love to see that.

[@lgriestra]

Great class. The video is dated the 24th of June, or Saint John, that is the patron of Alicante, a day with a huge party in the city. Great coincidence!

[@jimkreiling9166]

I have enjoyed both of the videos in this series very much. As a complete landlubber when it comes to boat operations, I am amazed at all the situations that can come up, and impressed with what one does to face them. So very interesting. Also, so glad to see you back Captain.

[@dunkie976]

If you are still there in Alacante, bob into the Ocean Race Museum at the edge of the docks, it's a mind blowing insight into an other avenue of life on the water. I've followed the race for as long as I can remember so it was a dream come true to see it all upclose when we called in a few months ago.

[@horstbrochhagen585]

Hi Tristan, one question. Do you need a licence to operate a boat? When yes, what do you learn on this education? Gives you the purchase of a boat the right to operate it?

[@chrisshields1775]

A really interesting Series and hopefully more to come. Althought I dont own a baod I have dreams! It is so good to see you imparting your knowledge to earer owners. Well done.

[@mikeraphone785]

It would be good if when you are explaining all the moves etc if you had a little model so we can see what you are talking about.

[@rudideghelt]

Great Tristan, a very lively video. I like. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@pemman]

I'm not a boat owner or intend buying a boat but even as a layman I find this so interesting and revealing. Have been following you for about 2 years or so. Good move Tristan :)

[@phatman3573]

Brilliant insight for the non boating…..lots to get your head around….

Great episode with lots of valuable information again.

[@philcruz99]

Thank you very much for the episodes!

[@danieltaylor2694]

How do they pickup the ground lines for bow

[@Fresno1199]

Great instructions. Learning is so much better observing minor issues and corrections.

[@ChrisDraussen]

I just do not know If you want to educate people, and If, it is a small amount of people doing this as their job. You also have to be young, slim and dedicated. I loved your videos back in time... being a Super Yacht Captain. What are you trying to do now? And also it does not fit to the channel to advertise for Morlock Yachts and bringing this now. I think you are not knowing where you are going. Like trying this and that. Sorry for being so frank Tristan. Tell us where you are going please. There are many channels out there. Who does not want you to be successful?

[@michynature]

Young and slim? Wth? 🤦‍♀️

[@yvesdesmeules5402]

Good informations thanks to share captain

[@benlovesboats2854]

Hey Tristan, great video! One question please(forgive my ignorance), the bowline which was dropped into the water when departing the berth, how is this recovered for when you return to the berth? Thank you 🙏

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Hi Ben, all explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5vOkoKKiM1qZ7c

[@cristinapais8172]

Like always really Interesting

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

I find this series so interesting! 😊 One thing I don't understand: Why don't they use checklists on boats (big and small), just like you do in any airplane? Don't matter if you've been flying your entire life, you still go by the checklists, for good reason! I'm pretty sure such would be beneficial to many boat owners.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

We do use checklists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKSvoXipor16iZY

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

@@SuperYachtCaptain Thank you 😊 I had seen that one before (seen them all), but the list in the beginning had escaped me. Now, I'm not in the least surprised to see you use one, as you're extremely conscientious and safety oriented. (If I ever needed a captain on a bigger yacht, I'd move heaven and earth to get you for the job 😄) I wonder if it's more common on the larger yachts? I did mean the smaller boats, like the one in this video. Anything bigger than a row boat should use them. Should be mandatory, as should proper education. Unfortunately they can't all get private lessons with Tristan.

[@phillipdavey702]

You're a very good teacher.

I was a bit surprised when they were discussing the safety equipment; life raft, first aid kit, etc, there was no mention of an EPIRB or handheld VHF radio at minimum.

[@logicreversed18t]

I know this is a new series, and I'm sure it'll evolve, but I'd like to see more boat operations. The chatting is informative, but the video doesn't show much of the application of the knowledge.

[@houseinfrancerenovation1419]

If an engine has turbochargers fitted they will run regardless of engine speed, unlike a supercharger which has a minimum speed before they kick in. The best engine had both turbo for low, med speed and supercharger for high speed.

[@philj3308]

Wrong way around. The supercharger is used at low revs, the turbo spools up as the revs increase and the supercharge cuts out

[@AndyCutright]

Wow, you have to be both master and commander on a ship like this. A lot of systems to understand, manage, and maintain just to get her out of the dock. Honestly, seems like a lot of fun 🛥
