The pace. The graphics. The instructor. The voice. Confident. Calm. Clear. These are but some of the words that come to mind. My wife being a new sailor of one year really enjoys listening to Marco. She explained she had less anxiety than when she was learning or when she reviewed. This channel is saved on three devices. Absolute brilliance!.

Thanks Breaking Waves, what an incredibly kind and positive comment. It is my pleasure
Learn something new everyday. I’ve been sailing since 1972? Everything from sunfish up to 45 Lagoons. I can’t remember ever hearing the term Gudgeon. Glad I watched.

I’m delighted. Thank you.
Just what I needed. I've sailed and owned sailboats for 50 years, on & off, but just bought my first "big" boat last year, an old Islander 30, which was built just after I first started sailing (1972). After all these years, I figured that it was time I learned the terminology for parts of the sailboat, etc, or at least get it more clear in my mind what I thought I knew. There's more to know about on the bigger boats. What you shared here was very helpful. I very much appreciate the effort you put into making this video. I learned more in such a short time than any other videos or classes. I'll be coming back again!

Just came back from my first weekend under sails and it was AMAZING!!! A beginning of new adventure. Thank you Marco for great videos, after watching a few of them beforehand I was more confident about what is going on around the yacht and it made understanding the commands from instructor so much easier. Keep it going :)

This video series is so good that I keep coming back again after watching and absorbing for a few weeks. I'm on my fourth cycle now, and each time I find new nuggets. There is so much knowledge packed into the videos and the 10 minute or so duration is just right for learning. Kudos. I'm ready for the checklists and cheatsheets mentioned in this video, but I couldn't find them on your website. Could you post a link? I wish I was closer so that I could sign up for in person instruction. I bet I'd learn a lot more from you in person, and it would be great to learn it all on my own boat.

@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine
7 ай бұрын
It's not really that much work, and it seems much more intimidating than it actually is. There is no feeling like it when you shut off the engine and the boat keeps going and all you hear is the lapping of the waves along the sides. Having said that it's not for everyone which is why power boats were invented

Yes, because I usually make 1st timers pilot the boat "just point it this way". By the time we get to the Marina they have the concept down .
❤
Reminder, standing and running rigging need to be inspected and replaced at the proper intervals, so many boats are out there with rotten lines and standing rigging rusted to break point, (FYI, almost always in behind the treads of the turnbuckle so you won't know if it is bad) replace standing rigging at the right time, BEFORE it is obvious! Or see your mast come down.

Thank you for the informative video. As a non native speaker I find nautical terms particularly difficult to remember and to some extend even unnecessarily complicated. I wonder if these terms will be changed to something simpler for the next generation to easily learn? I mean many are from 18th century Dutch

Sir What's the difference between cabin , deck and cockpit You said they are self explanatory but not for me :(
@CarpeDiemSailingMagazine
3 жыл бұрын
No problem. The cabin is everything down below, the living quarters. The deck is the top of the boat that you walk around on. The front is called the foredeck and around the mast is the mid ships deck. The cockpit is the area where the helm is and where the boat is worked from. Traditionally the cockpit is the open area at the back of the boat but there are also centre cockpit boats. Hope this clears it up for you

I have more questions relating to ships = 1) What is a bunk i.e., upper bunk and lower bunk ? 2) What's the meaning of this sentence = "To protect the ship from rough weather, the captain decided to slow the boat down. To do so, they dropped the storm jib and lashed heavy mooring rope in a loop across the stern." 3) What's the meaning of = "But still there was a tremendous leak somewhere below the waterline. I found that nearly all the boat's main rib frames were smashed down to the keel." 4) Meaning of = "To protect the weakened starboard side, I decided to heave-to-with the undamaged port hull facing the oncoming waves using an improvised sea anchor of heavy nylon rope and two 22 litre plastic barrels of paraffin." 😅 Sorry for disturbing you .
