Thank you Sir, I really appreciate your work on Celestial Navigation , most mariners in our days do not care enough about this brilliant and valuable since , but in my own opinion that is the most important to know cuz in any time the Black Out or jamming on GPS can make you lost .

Danke, sehr informativ. Nur das Rumgeeiere zwischen Fahrtensegeln und Blauwassersegeln habe ich nicht verstanden. Blauwassersegeln wurde von Bobby Schenk verbreitet. Gibt es noch eine andere Herkunft oder sollte Bobby Schenk nicht erwähnt werden?
@reginasailing26 күн бұрын
Danke für Deinen Kommentar und Deine netten Worte. Die Frage bezog sich darauf, ab wann geht es von Küsten- bzw Fahrtensegeln (im Englischen "Offshore Sailing") in Ozeansegeln über, was einige Blauwassersegeln oder auf Englisch "Blue Water Sailing" nennen und was Segler über die ganze Welt schon seit fast 150 Jahren betreiben, nämlich seit Joshua Slocum als erstes Ende des 19. Jh die Welt in einer klienen Segelyacht umrundete. Der Begriff vom Blauwassersegeln/Blue Water Sailing um Ozeansegeln zu beschreiben, stammt nicht von Bobby Schenk sondern war schon lange vorher ein Begriff. Bobby Schenk hat den Begriff für deutsche Bücherleser aber quasi ins Wohnzimmer gebracht, ist er doch bis heute der erfolgreichste Autor des Delius Klasing Verlags mit über einer halben Mio verkauften Büchern und wurde über Jahrzehnte vom Verlag unterstützt. Auch ich habe seine Bücher, neben vielen anderen Büchern anderer erfolgreichen Autoren auf unterschiedlichen Sprachen damals gelesen. Ich bewundere Bobby Schenk vor allem für seine pädagogische Darstellung von Navigation, insbesondere die Astronavigation, wo er die Sight-Reduction Methode, die schon seit dem Weltkrieg in England eingesetzt wurde, für deutsche Leser erklärt hat (was im SHS immer noch nicht der Fall ist, übrigens). Sowohl im deutschsprachigem Raum aber insbesondere international gab es also noch viele andere tolle Segler und Autoren, die das Blauwassersegeln vermittelt und verbreitet haben. So hat jeder seine eigenen "Helden" und in Frankreich, England, Amerika und Skandinavien gibt es Blauwassersegelhelden, die in Deutschland kaum bekannt sind, und vor allem auch umgekehrt! Deutsche Segler sind im Ausland erstaunlich wenig bekannt, leider, wahrscheinlich weil ihre Bücher nie ins Englische übersetzt wurden. Um nicht irgend welchen Segel-Pionieren höher als andere zu halten, nur weil sie erfolgreiche Buchautoren im deutschsprachigem Raum waren, versuche ich sie nicht zu bewerten und vor allem ihnen keine Herkunft des Blauwassersegelns zuzuschreiben (war gerade im Seglermuseum in Lorient, Bretagne, das dem Blauwassersegler Helden Eric Tabarly gewidmet ist, der lange vor Bobby Schenk die Ozeane besegelte). Die Bücher des Französischen Blauwassersegelers Bernard Moitessier wurden z.B. in viele Sprachen übersetzt und zu Millionen verkauft (übrigens auch durch den Delius Klasing Verlag), als er in den 1960:ern und 1970:ern segelte und so auch als Blauwasser-Held von Bobby Schenk diente und ihn inspirieren durfte (Das Buch "Kap Horn, der Logische Weg" von Moitessier war Vorbild von Bobby Schenk's Heimkehr nach Deutschland um Kap Horn im Buch "80,000 Meilen und Kap Horn" von Bobby Schenk). Wenn ich also unbedingt jemanden die Herkunft des Blauwassersegelns zuschreiben müsste, dann doch Joshua Slocum der es als erstes gemacht hat. Sein Buch "Sailing Alone Around the World" wurde auch in alle möglichen Sprachen übersetzt und wurde so unter Seglern zum Bestseller. Aber jeder sollte seine eigenen Helden haben dürfen und es ist nicht verkehrt Bobby Schenk als seinen persönlichen Segelheld zu haben, der in den 1980:ern den deutschen Buchlesern das Ozeansegeln so wunderschön vermitteln konnte! Er Verdient dafür grosse Bewunderung.

Ein Blick jeweils ins Inhaltsverzeichnis verschiedener Bücher reicht hierfür. Was den Wert deines sehr guten Buches in keiner Weise schmälern soll.

Great video Leon. When teaching, I’d always add the usefulness of PLB beacons, particularly now that a combined PLB/AIS unit is available in life jacket size. Also mentioning the importance of pre-registration, not only for compliance but also of the boat’s features/equipment via SafeTrk, to aid the SAR operation.

Hallo Leon, Du hast vor mehr als 10 Jahren mit "Sabattical auf See" dazu beigetragen, dass ich mir ein Boot gekauft habe und selber losgesegelt bin. Mittlerweile mit vielen spannenden Seemeilen im Kielwasser und eigenen Schülern. Sie lieben das Manöver so sehr, dass sie es "Das-Coole-Sau-Manöver" getauft haben...mir gefällt Dein "The-Basti" Understatement. Viele Grüße! Svenja

I am so excited to try this! One question, have you seen how it works on a monohull with twin rudders? Several docking techniques have to be altered since we don’t have propeller wash directly hitting our rudders.
@reginasailing3 ай бұрын
I understand what you mean! Well, this should work, since the main force to turn the boat is that the prop is offset of the turning point (the aft cleat). Of course, you cannot use the rudder to get the stern away from the pontoon so easily, so I would guess that it is very important to have big fenders in the back! I would try out in very clam weather without any current and then see how it goes! Let me know!
@LifeFourPointZero3 ай бұрын
@@reginasailing I will let you know! We are headed back to our boat in a couple days. She spent the long dark winter in Tromsø Norway. Getting our stern off the dock is our biggest challenge, especially since our boat design nearly holds the width from the beam to the stern. We often drive forward on a spring to nudge our stern out and then reverse but this isn’t always an option.

This is fantastic! I wish I had known this technique last season when I was pinned against a refueling dock with 15-18 knots of wind on the beam. I did not know any better, and I made the mistake to blindly trust the refueling dock employee for their advice and tactics. I had no damage, but the departure was very risky. You can tell I am still trying to cope from this mistake. I was lucky, but if I used this technique, I know it would have been zero risk. Thank you for sharing. -Skyward HR46

All the correction and finetuning until you realize that you have sailed miles away from where you where when you take the numbers 😂😂😂 Jokes beside, thanks for the in detail walk through the process. As an engineer i can only recomment not to get too picky with corrections if you anyhow do not need the pecission anyways. In the mid of the Atlantic a position of +/- 10-20 miles is good enough 😊
@karhukivi3 ай бұрын
the second position line can be transposed by the distance log, so the fix is for a certain time and plotted as such. That takes care of the distance sailed between the two fixes. If you omit all the corrections the position would be far worse than 10-20 miles. So if you have to do some of them, why not do all of them properly?

@@karhukivi Because the actual value of a sextant is as an emergency backup. You may use it as a hobby or to kill some time, so do it like it is 1763 .Have fun. But as a backup in case some really bad has happened to my electronics, I am in a different situation. I need to plot a fast curse to the next Island, cost line or anything where I can fix my boat . Finding Hawaii does not need a +/- 1 mile precision . If I use the sextant I am in distress having to work all kinds of problems in parallel . So KISS is the motto of the situation. To be honest , I have a sextant and also the needed paperwork on the shelf. Sometimes I pull it out and do all the calculations (including all corrections) just for fun. But if I really need a sextant to get me someplace save, I will need a quick but rough curse plotting. What do you say if you make calculation errors because you are in distress? There are worlds between having some afternoon fun with tea and biscuits to nibble on while you plot your course and having to plot a course while doing first aid on a crew mate and getting the bilge pumped by hand at the same time. In summary it is all fun and games until something serious happens and you need to do everything as fast as you can. I was there , I know what I am taking about.

@@wollekemper8317 Yes, I agree with you in general terms. It is worth reading Sir Francis Chicester's account of sailing towards the Bass Straits without an adequate fix for several days of cloudy weather and realising he might arrive at night into a narrowing area with currents and wind pushing him. In his panic he made a big error in calculating his last position and later realised the mistake, which is reproduced in the book. My point is simply that if one is going to make a fix it might as well be as good as possible, rather than a quick and inaccurate position.
