  • Remembering the Rules of the Road when you're boating can be tricky in the moment, but I've come up with a simple way to keep all the Stand on and Give Way stuff straight.
    Okay so it requires a quick history lesson to really get it, but once you know, you'll never forget!
    Also, you really should read all the rules at some point if you're going to be out on the high seas:
    Book Link: amzn.to/3FkabIj
    ^^^That's the book of rules according to the United States Coast Guard including the international COLREGS
    Yes, I will make dollars off of the above link... I think. I'm still learning how to do this content creation thing.

    I think you are genius level intellect. Truly transformative coaching to a situation that can become complicated, especially during duress. When people panic, lizard brain takes over. Really smart people can explain in great detail. Geniuses can explain it simply. You might have saved someone's life with this video.

    I've been sailing my whole life and have been a charter boat captain for 15 years (mostly sail) . The two big questions I get are how a boat moves and the rules. How a boat moves I send them the "Physics of sailing" video by KQED. Yours is now my new go to video for the rules. Very well done and entertaining. Thank you

    Your video is amazing. I have been a captain for 15 years and often think through two or three different regulations to decide who should hold and stand. Your explanation sums it up with surprising simplicity. Thank you, Thank you

    im crew on a rescue vessel (think volunteer coast guard) and i have started all my theory on my masters licence.

I do a lot of sailing instruction to couples where it's obvious one side of the couple is not soaking up all the nautical terms and concepts at the other side and I'm totally going to use your examples and descriptions for nautical stuff. I so like your attitude and approach. Capt. Dougie.

  • @philipdipasquale932
    @philipdipasquale932 Před 2 lety +2

    You should add an explanation as to WHY... there are red and green lights ..that ties into stand on and give way... If you see the other vessel’s red light it means you must slow down or maneuver to avoid a collision. The other vessel should make no course or speed change. If you see the other vessel’s green light you maintain course and speed and the other vessel must avoid hitting your vessel.

    • @CaptainBoomies

      I once had someone tell me that they only knew their rules of the road at night because of the lights... that stressed me out a bit, but I realized how helpful those lights are!

    WELL explained - love that you pulled in the "in the end everybody is responsible" took that class decades ago, and that one line stuck with me from the instructor (and the regs)
    He explained it as while they made rules, in the end, nobody owning a ship wanted it damaged, even if it had the right of way.. therefore the common sense clause.. "dude if all else fails its your job to avoid collision regardless"
    That said - I daily see sailboats trying to pull rank on freighters.. and demanding paddleboarders get out of their way.. SIGH. common sense is not that common at all.

Idiots... And for the Stir side also note Captain cabin is always on STBD and C.Eng on port side. That in case Bridge Navigation officer falls asleep and Captain is having tea on his balcony and sees right of way upcoming vessel on collision course. haha.
