3 calls on the 4th of July. A 29' Hunter going to Constitution Marina, a 33' Irwin going to Scituate Harbor, and a 25' Grady White, with a camo wrap, going to the Weymouth Back River Ramp. Overcast morning followed by a sunny evening. Check out my other 4th of July video for the late night call full of drama.

That takes some skill to tow a boat in those tight quarters! I never thought I would be interested in boats getting towed but here I am, watching all your vids! Take care

Impressive that you can maneuver a single engine so well. I'd think twins would be almost mandatory for a tow boat. But, you've proven otherwise. Bravo Zulu.

This is actually super cool to watch, thank you for posting this.

Everything seemed straightforward until you got to the marina, that's about when I'd start to s*** my pants. Respect capt, and thank god for tow boats.

Always sad when a sailboat runs out of fuel. For the engine.

I’m pretty sure he ran out of fuel for the sails and the engine, otherwise he would have sailed until he was close in then put the dinghy on the hip. That darn sail fuel

Great job on all three calls. I don't understand how someone doesn't carry fuel as a precaution.

Amazing how these people that you're helping offer so little assistance.

It's because they have zero clue what they're doing. They wouldn't be in that situation in the first place if they did.

Hello Captain, great channel....little confused why a sail boat would need a tow when I see other sail boats under sail in your video....whats that called....I got tired of sailing for the day or forgot how to put up the sail? Funny thing about boats they always need maintenance and money particularly in the saltwater.

@wickedsailorboston 14 күн бұрын

Typically it's due to lack of an operational auxiliary engine. Many times when the wind is low or out of an unfavorable direction, people will "motorsail." That is sailing while also using the auxiliary engine. Otherwise a short sail could turn into an all day excursion. Also, we're in the business of towing. When they want a tow, we don't ask questions 😅. Thanks for checking out the channel.

Whatever happened to using 1/3 of tank on the way out and 2/3 of tank for the return ?

@wickedsailorboston 7 күн бұрын

Many fuel gauges use old "float" switches. As the fuel gets used, a float inside the tank moves lower sending a signal to the gauge to read the status of the tank. Older floats get gummed up and stick in certain positions so as the fuel drops out the float doesn't move. The gauge will read half full, but the tank is empty.

Why are those marine radio's so hard to understand?

@wickedsailorboston 16 күн бұрын

Most people hold the receiver right up to their mouth and peak the audio so it distorts. That combined with wind noise usually makes it pretty hard to understand sometimes.
