5mm of it can lift 3000kg or something more

This is the only way I know how to tie it.

Good video. Personally, if it's not a crowded anchorage, and I'm planning on sleeping overnight, I go with 7:1 rode.

Wonder if an adjustable telescopic foil would work

Thank you for the demonstration. I'm in the middle of taking my first online course for the Washington State boater's exam, and it frustrated me that the course doesn't cover how to actually use any of these devices...so I jumped over to good ol' KZfaq to find out. Yours is the 3rd video I watched on the subject, and the only one that mentioned the noise, the heat, and really showed the molten slag (1 briefly motioned it, just to say hold your arm out so it doesn't drip on you). But YIKES, that dripping into the boat?!! That's important to consider. I also had misgivings about polluting the ocean by tossing the spent flares in, but now I understand the hazards of trying to keep them onboard. Well done, Sir! I'm back to studying now, wish me luck!

this video sokved so many problems for me, now that I have seen it, its totaly obvius and erverybody may ask why I did not do it like this before ;-) Thank you so much!

The Sail GP foils regularly reach that speed and higher

Cleats have "horns" not "ears"

The water does not literally boil....if u r going to do a documentary get the facts right.

Awesome Visuals!

Суперррр!)

Good video. Well demonstrated.

I just watched a video explaining that the meter is supposed to by one ten millionth of the distance from the poll to the equator. If so, how would it not be ideal for use on a globe?

Eh?

Very good, thanks

François Gabart • Trimaran MACIF is record holder that my friends is an achievement no doubt about it!

Is this why AC foiling boats cannot point any higher than 45° as shown on tv graphics overlaid on the course? Is it, the faster you go the more you have to bear away because the wind is being bent to come where the boat is pointing? Cheers😊

So sorry for your loss. This is truly sad. Thanks for sharing. May he Rest in Peace ✝️

I really appreciate you sharing these lessons, It must have been very difficult to relate that experience.

"Literally." What, as opposed to metaphorically?

Even though I know the jargon and general concepts you're explaining, the zooming-in was worse than pointless; it turned a comprehensible diagram into just a bunch of random curves and arrows.

Great video

I can’t wait to cross an ocean where I get soaked 24/7

“It’s not particularly practical. Maybe not even a boat.” 😂😂😂

What about an anchor which always stays in the seabed and does not to set itself new?? Ultra Anchors doing that.. The best I ever had!!

Great ! ❤

Whats a Bruce like on shingle or broken ground?

I found my cqr to be useless and it dragged several times. So i replaced with a spade which has never dragged yet.

You need to clear your sheets and halyards before you maneuvers. Much faster if you do.

Canuck here on a circumnavigation, currently in Guatemala. 14 ton 34ft steel schooner, I have a Bruce (genuine) as my primary anchor and 300 ft of 10m chain. When it's set properly I've never dragged. Good video, keep em coming 😎

Good piece of kit, now at a reasonable price. My comment is do you need all that complexity. You can get a straight LFP battery for the same price and four times the capacity. Would that small Bluetti have sufficed for your two day trip? If you do need 110 / 230v, better to have a small petrol generator. Then you can run all day, mine 1000w and about the same cost (ok, again)

Your description of a bucket was pretty much told to me as "The most reliable pump in the world, is a scared sailor with a bucket. Just pray you never need it sonny."

Lots of comments in favour of the Bruce but I would't trust it to set or reset from the side. As shown on the video lying on it's side, it's riding along. For my money the anchor that buries deep and gives me peace of mind is the spade type.

Great video man. Sorry to hear about that situation with your Dad , he would have been proud of your good work on the tips etc

I just used roller boom reefing for the first time on our F31r. It sure was easy and quick.

Great demonstration! Thanks!

It's so amazing that they circumnavigated on a sailboat in 41 days.

Hi, brilliant video, do you have any issues with Dyneema suffering from degradation caused by UV exposure?

I have a question. When it comes to soft shackles failing. Why not pop something (a piece of line) beyond the knot to prevent it pulling through? You’re much clever than me so perhaps you can think this through, come up with a solution, test, and publish a video of the results. 👍🏽😁

True; but sometimes in deeper water (20m+ where I anchor) 5 to 1 is not practical with other boats and the shore close by. A heavy anchor and all chain makes the difference.

If you operate a vessel and the anchor "is a mystery" to you... Stop.

It's almost flying at this point.

I'm just a boat dreamer right now 😅 but this is very cool to learn.

Looks like they did not

⁠the windex literatly points to the wind. The luff is literatly the front of the sail. If the front of the sail goes straight into the wind...never mind why am I bothering

If you lined the luff of the sails with the windex you'de be in irons

Honestly I've been looking at the interior as one of the last things to consider. I've put the underside of the boat first. Then the top side (Deck, rigging) After that, the interior, and lastly the looks. If money wasn't an issue, I think a Kraken 50 would likely be the best for what I want to do.
