1. That's pretty good stuff. Spoken like true Englishman. Cept I need my Wilson basketball for a friend.

2. In the video Using a Tender, Skip showed a yellow water tight box. What is its brand? Where can I buy it?

4. Great series!

5. top tip, always ensure that the outboard is out of gear when starting it skip! 

6. I have watched and enjoyed all your videos, although I only have a motor sailor which would not do more than 7 knots if it fell off the edge of the world, it does get very windy and rough around Portland and a lot of the techniques and advice is just as relevant here as anywhere. Thank you for sharing you knowledge.

7. thanks, Skip!
   and yes, Watson, a tender is a vital paaht of the boat's inventree.

8. good use of the bombard commando c3 and wise words for the less salty types.

9. Very informative.  That-you…

10. Bowman hand signals

11. literally the most completent and smart thinking expedition sailor i have ever seen. this is really good advice

12. Having seen a crew nearly crushed to death attempting to board their boat from the stern in 3 a metre swell in an anchorage, I couldn't agree more about boarding from the side of the boat. When they gave up after about 20 minutes and went amidships to board I felt a huge 'wave' of relief. I'm still amazed at how they weren't injured. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Chris (& Rossella) 👍

13. "Hot up the engine dry"…terrible idea. The dry water pump will be fried very quickly. You'll be changing waterpump impellers all the time if you do that. Very good stuff otherwise.

14. And the cameraman is left on the shore?

15. This guy is the most interesting skipper in the world. Ha wow the knowledge

16. Great production.

17. Nice Video
    On my boat i have an F Rib. Its from a German company and its a foldable rib. You can easly store it away but it has the hardbottom.

18. Personally I prefer rigid tenders, with oars and possibility of using the sail. Something simple, like lug rig. I had been rowing on inflatable tenders and against the wind, and even in moderate wind it is nightmare. Especially those SIB. Engines are prone to give-up too. I remember one situation. Once I was going to cross Baltic Sea (from Karlskrone in Sweden to Ustka in Poland) on small RIB (Zodiac), and brand new Honda engine failed after two hours. Fortunately I was still close to the shore and wind was blowing towards the land. On the beginning I was rowing back, but one oar get broken soon, so I started to paddle with one oar. Ah! I had spare engine, old Achilles, if I remember well, which was tested before the trip, but damned thing didn't want to start when it was really needed! All situation ended with full scale rescue operation, when my friend who was kayaking alongside (I was to follow his attempt of kayaking from Sweden to Poland), decided to ask for help a guy on a sailing boat, which was passing not far from us. Unfortunately my friend doesn't know English at all, so when he comes to the guy he said "Silnik (it means engine in Polish) Kaput!". Guy understand only "kaput" and call SAR. After 15-20 minutes two ships from Swedish Navy comes for rescue! Made such big wave that my friend on kayak capsized and my boat was full of water 🙂 They lowered nets on which we had to ascend to the ship. Divers jumped to the sea and recovered our crafts 🙂 Forget to mention before – I had with me VHF and PLB, but as it was no danger, I didn't use it.
    I recognize the place , where that movie was shot, I think:) It is Puerto Williams and next to Micalvi Yacht Club 🙂
    With David Glenn I had been on board Maxi 80 "Lodka Bols" during the race across Atlantic years ago 🙂

19. Why the netting on the bow?

20. Skip tried to start her in gear. Worst sound!

21. A little difficult solo.

22. And the camera man was never seen alive again.

23. Skip's nose is so French it fought the English at Trafalgar
