1. Thanks for another valuable video for a future catamaran owner (me!).

   A couple of questions:
   1 What is the purpose of the retrieval line on the bridle – why not just wind in the chain until you can reach the bridle?
   2 I presume you attach the bridle to the mooring after you pick it up (this wasn't shown in the video)?

   Thanks again.

2. I think for the uninitiated your video leaves more questions than answers. If I may suggest, show the whole video don't be intimidated by showing all the fiddling about, because that really demonstrates in the real word what it takes to anchor and get on and off a mooring ball.  Especially in a blow.     My 2 cents.:)

3. Do you think this video actually explains anything to anyone who is trying to learn?
   First part – you somehow attach a bridle to the anchor chain with a special hook that you don't show with a retrival line that you don't explain what to do with. Nor do you explain what to do with the bridle.
   Second part, you pick up a mooring bouy using the engines and rudder to steer – who would have guessed that?
   Does this supposed to reflect the quality of the magazine?

4. This is a terrible video. As the other commenters stated below, it leaves more questions and is not particularly informative

5. This videos are at best, marginally useful – there is no real explanation or context setting. I expect more from Yachting World.

6. Hard to imagine how commentary could have been less useful. Could not learn anything from this. Obviously just a jolly with no thought being given as to how to provide anything useful.
   Cant you at least add some subtitles, to provide some idea as to what is going on?

7. I would not let this bloke moor my cat …. After years on living aboard a cat we did learn well how to pick up a mooring and to anchor …. With a cat in gusty 15 kt winds it is difficult to pick up a mooring. You need to come up to the mooring at a speed where you have control and hit astern with good revs to stop you. Then your not fighting with the mooring line against the wind..

8. Much easier to come down wind to the mooring. Then you can use astern to hold the bow where you want it.
   Once attached the boat will swing to the wind.

9. There is an easier way especially on a catamaran in strong winds when the mooring is a ball.

   Simply attach a single rope at least 2 X longer than the width of your boat to each cleat on the bow of each pontoon, run straight up to the ball in the center. When you're over the ball toss the rope into the water on the upwind side of the ball. Then let the boat drift back, the rope will slider under the ball and hold the boat fast. Then you can take your time, even lowering the dingy to use to attach your bridle lines to the mooring ball tail. Simple!

10. Not only is this video phenomenally useless, The camera man obviously doesn't sail, He spends more time focusing on the bridge instead the bow where we are could actually potentially learn something.

11. As a life long mariner, I've always been taught to head into the wind and or current when possible, to pick up a mooring line. Never missed one yet.

12. anchoring in the national park where anchoring is not allowed! wow

13. What model of beautiful power cat are you using in this video ?

14. Whoops wrong video!

15. Why did you not show the moment of picking up the bouy? In that moment the camera should show this and not the person on the rudder, who does nothing at this moment.

16. learning how NOT to make proper video

17. Wait a sec. Doesn't the prop, saildrive, whatever thrust onto the rudders even at a dead stop? Doesn't that give us some vectoring?

18. The video is intended for folks who have done anchoring and mooring in a monohull, but not a catamaran.

    With a catamaran you can approach the mooring slowly from downwind and hopefully downcurrent, and use differential thrust from the two engines to steer the boat to the mooring ball or anchor location.

    This can be done at speeds below "steerageway" because you have two engines that are far apart. To turn to port, you give more forward thrust to the starboard engine, as done at the end of the video. And you can put one engine in reverse to turn faster to that engine's side.

    For really small adjustments towards one side you can put that engine in neutral. With the engine on the other side still in forward, it will push the bow toward the side that's in neutral. That's also done in the video.

    (Steerageway is the minimum speed through the water for the rudders to be effective. Below that speed, the rudders don't do much. That's true on both monohulls and multihulls, but it's why we use propwalk and propwash to turn the boat at low speeds (below steerageway) on a monohull.)

    The video was correct in showing the helmsman doing this with the throttles, because picking up the mooring pendant is the same as a monohull, with the exception that the bowman is using a gaff (boat hook) presumably because the bridgedeck is too high above the water to reach the pendant by hand.

    The pendant is attached to the long yellow pole on the small red buoy used to pick up the mooring line. It's attached to the mooring lines and thus mooring ball. Normally the pick up pole is supposed to be sticking up a couple meters straight out of the water.

    All of this is a bit subtle to folks who haven't done it before, so some of the confusion in the comments is understandable.

    The video is intended to transition experienced monohull crew to catamarans.

19. Useless video.
