Really appreciate this video. I'm doing a course and I really understand everything to the tee. So simplified. Thank you ma'am.

It’s Greg Laughlin from Australia again and I’ve just watched this from beginning to end and it is wonderful. I really appreciate the English accent and the authority she has in her voice combined with the fact that she clearly knows her subject backwards.

A comment from Australia: this is the most organized and clearest dissertation on COLREGS. Thank you so very much.

I like the CBDraft=Guiness. I think that one is going to stick. Great video!

[mihailkolev]

Great Idea and Great Lecture. Greetings from Varna city in Bulgaria!!!

[christianursihobart]

These are really excellent presentations - thank you. So much easier to pass exams when you get help like this! Moot point but you spell a ship's DRAUGHT that way - and NOT 'draft', the way you have spelled it.

[jalpari]

Thank you so much mam!! It's a best COLREG video among all what is internet. 🇮🇳

[alisoncook]

SO clear. Love the diagrams as well as the friendly informative tone. Clearest diagrams I’ve seen so far. And nice to have a girl just for a change. Not that there’s anything wrong with blokes but if you want to encourage a few more of us women to do day skipper, it is good to be represented occasionally.

[simonkearns]

Thank you for clear and memorable instruction

[amandagoacher]

Thank you as this was very good. Clearly explaining the topics covered

[sethwilliamson]

Excellent presentation. Probably the best lecture on the topic I've seen.

Small nitpick... @35:04 #10 could also be a small vessel at anchor.

Nice explanation given by madam.

I’m enrolled in a Coxswain’s course starting in early August it’s a full-time living course for three weeks. This video has made a huge difference and I’m wondering if the presenter is still doing her job? I cannot believe these videos only attract a handful of comments when they are clearly the best out there and should be published so that she gets the credit that is due.

Question: what lights should a boat under oar that is 12.5 meters long, capable of 9-15 knots ie. dragon boat team training at night - with consideration the boat has a low run on the gunnel and unable to take wake over 0.6m. Would having port and starboard lights give an indication in the dark that it is under motor therefore approaching boats might not slow down enough? Thoughts?

[markashford]

Excellent, thanks. One observation, no lights identify a "fishing vessel", they identify a "vessel engaged in fishing" which isn't quite the same thing!

I just seen a odd looking meteor right angle, SsW
It arched towards the west. I watched it falling downward, I heard only one Sonic boom then 10-20 secs later I heard a rumbling like a large plane but nothing was in the sky
Weird!

[AttitudeCharter]

Why would you EVER sound 5 short blasts in a RIB to ask the other driver WTF he is doing instead of merely streeing away from him?
