You could totally nail a Michael Caine impression...imagine, "Seamanship With Michel Caine"...hilarious, you have to do at least one video like that!

Perfect demonstartion, thanks

I don’t have a boat, but I have been coiling my extension electrical cords like this for over 30 years. It drives me batty trying to get people to do this. It saves so much time in the long run

I like these how to tutorials, they reminding me of greater times. 👍👍👍

Great stuff mate, thanks for that

Figure 8 coiling for the long braided line is the only way to go if you don't want a knotted mess when you're ready to use it. Thank goodness for editing, your first coil wrap looked like a real mess. Other wise, not too bad. First days are the toughest! You'll catch on.Lol

Love that intro music...Thanks for the tips

Thanks, that’s excellent 👍

Nice one, Thank You very much for sharing. Greetings from France ^_^

Even I have no ide of sailing, the rope handling technics are great for me!

You are the man

Nice boat

you spend all that money on a boat and don't look after one of the thing that keep the boat safe If you don't mind Mr Mendez . When saltwater evaporates its leaves the salt still on and inside the rope ,to get rid of the salt wash it out with fresh water as the salt is an abrasive and is inside the rope and will cause damage over time

Any suggestions when your solo pulling out of your slip/Well at the marina specifically when the wind is pushing you into the boat next to you. What lines do you take off first bow? Stern? Very informative.

thanks :-)

For your excellence… like and subscribe. Well done, sir

What model boat are you on in this video??

Good tutorial but at the same time a bit ropey. My boat only has sheets, lines, warps and halyards on board. My garden has a rope for the washing line.

In that case it isn't a rope it's a line.

imparting twist into the rope to coil and store it will mean it will have twist in it when you uncoil it. Try it with an even less forgiving garden hose and you will see what I mean. Rather than introducing twist - let the rope follow its own path as you coil it to your left hand. Still stores the same but wont end up wanting to kink as you try to use it next time.

hi again........ love some feedback

Is that a personal Epirb on his belt? Is this a good investment ?

I think I've just found my new Pornhub replacement

Reading some of the comments it appears some didn't get the part about rolling the line as it's coil. Rolling the line as it's coiled will eliminate any chance for kinks to form. Good stuff. Thanks.

Who is this guy? Does he have his own channel?

Jon Mendez is the man behind the Mendez Marine training centre (www.mendezmarine.co.uk/) He's a regular on here (1 vid per month). Mendez Marine don't have their own channel, but they're on Twitter and Facebook

God

My opinion never wrapp the rope round the coil, it can create kinks and a mess, personally I teach and use the method once coiled create a bite, twist and thread through the coil then thread the tail through the bite (loop), then secure the coil with the tail. Each to their own but that's the way the old school boi s showed me when I was a deck boy!

These techniques are knot to be laughed at.

See what you did there ;-)

I just usuially use my arm and hand to coil it.

Seriously...if people can't cool rope they shouldn't be at sea. Also with regards to which way to cool it depends on wether the rope is left hand or right hand twist
