1. Thank you for that. Yes perhaps sometimes I go too fast but then of course the beauty of video is that you can pause it or rewind. I'll bear the speed thing in mind. And yes, my favourite, the spring. As a single hander that's how I always do it. I had this in the video and then realised this video was about the problems and that I will be doing the springing article soon and so want to leave the video of it until then. So, coming soon, is all I can say. And I'll watch the speed. Best, D

2. Excellent, as usual Duncan. Feel a bit better now about trying to get off a mooring agaist 3-4 knots of spring tide, 25 knots of wind aft and pouring rain in The Hamble this summer, in a charter yacht for the first time.

3. As the others have said, many many thanks Duncan! As a new day skipper, this is exactly what I panic and sweat about. I reckon I could navigate anywhere, then bash the boat off everything in sight getting alongside. This video is a huge help. Keep up the good work!

4. Thank you Duncan. Love the bit about the marina being void of people until you make a mistake, so true.

5. slow is pro!

6. Thanks Duncan this is the first YM vid I have watched and it was very useful. As a new Westerly Berwick owner I now know why my far more experienced friend Michael spent 10mins explaining prop walk to me. At Porthmadog we have the added problem that coming alongside and getting blown onto the mooring can mean getting tangled up on your pick up line (got the t shirt for that one already). John

7. Really well done! The little trick changing fender heights is priceless. I often sail with a novice crew and watching them struggle to reposition fenders as we prepare to raft-up can be painful to watch. This will be a big help.

8. As commented previously. The fender height tip was worthy of the artical alone, a light bulb moment, thank you!

9. Nice

10. great. very helpful

11. Awesome video. So true about the meerkat-like audience emerging on their previously deserted decks when things go bad.

12. Mr Wells, you are a great gift to the novice sailor community. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.

13. This kind of classical teaching is excellent, and often only learned by experience. This is the best youtube video on berthing I have found. You've got my sub! I was a little confused by the explanation of the calculations for boat speed, but your example cleared that up. Put another way, multiply measured water speed in ft/sec by 0.6 to get water speed in NM/h. That tip about quick repositioning a fender was a nice practical idea, too.

14. Duncan, I just cited this video as an authority in a Cruisers' Forum query: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2160679

15. '… careful not to suffer from any delusions of adequacy'. Indeed Duncan and I will be sure to check out stress-free sailing. Your delivery is exceptional. The videos have been helpful and enjoyable.

16. Excellent video and presentation! I am a firm believer in midship docking lines especially is single handling a larger boat. Your opinion? Thanks so much.

17. Lots of nice little tips, very humourous too.

18. Very "Hitch-hikers-Guide"-like. My brain the size of a planet instantly recognized your Peter Jones-ish delivery.

19. Great video! Thank you!

20. There is NO WAY anyone can know just what time they will be returning to their birth, specially in a return emergency.
