4 years, only saw it today... but didn’t loose my time, great great practical explanation, thank you Sir !

[russellhopwood]

Superb explanation. Plus i love seeing Cala Dor marina brings back great memories.

[dinkonn]

Great explanation! as beginner and hopefully one day owner of boat thank you for great job!

I have always wondered how the bow line works, having done most of my boating in the US it was not a technique I was familiar with, thanks.

Seriously, best video on mooring. I have watched heaps. Well done.

8:02 I would recommend to go now in slow speed forward until you tightened the mouring line. This stabilises the boat in unfavourable weather. Anyhow I found your vid absolutely superb! Servus from Austria

Start of departure - 3:17
End of departure - 5:35
Start of arrival - 6:43
End of arrival - 8:35

Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple. Great video and so easy to understand. Off to TESCO to practice. 👍👍👍

[petermansion]

Great video Nick. Love the shopping trolley!

Just watched the Monaco F1GP and seeing those yachts berthed stern to I wondered how they attached those bow lines. Now I know:-) Great explanation:-)

[chrish]

Hi Nick. That was awesome. Great information with simple easy details. Thanks 😊

Wish I'd known all this before bringing a 13M ketch into the Med from the States. Single prop, no bow thruster, usually some obnoxious wind - it wasn't easy the first few times! Worst part? Definitely those scummy lazy lines that line underwater and gather mud and moss. Definitely recommend gloves when handling lazy lines.

Superb. Only thing I would like to have seen in detail is the operation to reverse in.

[jaysonbenner]

Amazing instruction thanks for making this video.

[calumaitchison]

didnt show the forward mooring line being picked up. Just felt like tied off the lazy line, wouldnt have released any line until my engines are running either

[walkernick]

Hmmm.... pulling a boat around by the mooring lines rather than using the engine for assistance!? Not so sure about that!

Excellent instructions to mediterranean docking, but you failed with your knot technique.
The cleat hitch at 08:04 is wrong (locking).
Improve your knot skills or else use the OXO-method.
