This HAS to be the best Med Mooring video on the internet! Well done!!
Top UK Photographer Thank you!
Thank you!
Even the Sunsail one is a bit vague, and also starts when already moored up! This explains it beautifully!
except for the leaving part! i‘d never(!) leave the dock loosening the aft lines first and then let the boat be pulled out by the lazy lines.
it may work fine in light to no winds. but when there is a stronger breeze you will need way as soon as possible. no time to wait for
the lazy lines to sink as the bow immediately starts to drift. so you better NOT let this become a habit. put the engine in forward gear,
loose the lazy lines, let them sink and drive out of the box in a controlled way veering out the aft lines.

That's it, I'm totally agree with you. Perfect explanation!
The method shown in this vid "How to leave the berth with lazyline" is bullshit.
You method is much better!
Thx
Btw:
This represents just my opinion and my opinion is based on my education and experience. I don't want to hurt or insult anybody with my opinion.
Cheers
I love the linesmen bringing out the stern lines. Great job.
Awesome video, pretty nice and clean way to show how it should be done. Well done! I personally put a big fender to the stern because I'm not that experienced - yet. ;)
Very competent crew you have, sir. It's just simply pleasure to watch. Very nice tutorial too. :)
Thank you!
Very informative and covering all the aspects! Excellent deck hands too ;-)
Great value video. Thank you
Very informative and well done, thank you.
VERY GOOD AND INFORMATIVE...WELL PRODUCED GUYS
simply a great video.
Only good video about med mooring.. thanks for your work..
From that one video i learned a lot, very precise and very informative. New subscriber ;-) Cheers.
wow you made that look easy. like how you stopped the boat with the hook and not a hard forward...
The only addition I would add especially for Turkey lazy line mooring, is once the stern lines are on, let out 3-4 metres of the stern lines so the boat moves away from the pontoon to enable as much lazy line to be taken up before locking it down; then reversing back to the pontoon taking in the stern line slack until your boat is as close to the pontoon as you need, then lock off the stern lines too
Great stuff thanks to all of you guys. Well done !
Hi Barry, yes just leave in reverse as long as the anchor has a hold. Always cover the throttle in case it doesn't hold and you need to put into neutral or even fwd gear to keep the stern off the quay. Thanks
Great video
Great video! I recommend wearing gloves when touching/handling a lazy line that has been on the bottom for a long time. Sometimes they're nasty and have 'sharp sealife' on them.
The most common method of mooring up a sailing yacht in the Ionian Islands, Greece is what we call "stern to mooring". If you are new to this method of mooring up it will be worth you watching this short video on "Stern to mooring" produced by Nisos Yacht Charter. It is a good idea to share with everyone who will be on board the yacht, so that all the crew have a good idea of what the process entails, which will make life easier for the skipper.
Any questions, please just ask! rowan@nisosyachtcharter.com
Especially children, it's better to tie the fender before putting over it over the side. I've seen fenders dropped in the water whilst trying to be tied on.
The bow mooring line wasn't led to the cleat very well.
I liked how you conveyed its literally childs play if you know what your doing. Good video. I have wondered if buoys on anchors might help prevent some of the crossing that sometimes happens but in busy harbours this is maybe not practical? Be interested in your thoughts.
very good
Well done. My problem has allways been how to determine whether or not the particular marina wants you to put down your anchor or whether there are lazy lines ready to be used.
Well if you approach the quay first to research the mooring you will see if other yachts are using anchor or lazy line or if no yachts in - you will see the lazy line on jetty.
Great demonstration. One question though, when you're about to let the anchor bite, are you keeping the boat ticking over gently in reverse, or are you in neutral? The skipper here says neutral, but then mentions that the boat is not springing forward too much because it is still in reverse. To me it would make perfect sense to keep the boat ticking over gently astern, so long as the hook has bit, and until the windward line is made fast.

What if the anchor does not "catch"? Do you go back out and start over? Awesome video btw.
Yes if the anchor doesn't hold, then you are best to start the procedure again. To check it is holding, when you tighten up on the windlass it should strain somewhat and the chain go tight. if it just keeps pulling the chain in, then it hasn't set properly.
All of the Nisos boats have a Rocna anchor which generally hold really well and lots of anchor chain.
As an owner of a long keeled norwegian made 33 feet sailboat from the 70's, it blows my mind to this day that people have steering in reverse. Well well, at least we sail these sexy classics instead of mcdonalds sailboats. I just have to go 90 degress to port to stretch out my anchor chain though. Sorry, I'll "drift" away in the night, lol
Any advice for single handed and with no windlass?
Compared to a muring line... the anchor can never hold you so tight in position... how to you prevent the boat from collidinig with the pier backwards.. the anchor can not prevent it from moving backwards?
A well set anchor will most certainly hold a boat off the quay. Put lots of chain out. We have 100m of chain on most boats and the excellent Rocna anchors.
@@nisosyachtcharter79 and pull the anchor tight? The chain will come up high!!?
:)
HALLO ! WHICH HARBOR IS THAT ???
Hello Spiros, this is Vathi harbour on the north of Meganissi Island, Ionian Sea, Greece. This is often a good first nights stop when sailing with Nisos Yacht Charter as it is close to our Ionian base.
What's the point in paying for a mooring that has no lazy lines, with the risk of crossing anchor lines, and cause damage to the boats? Better fill water at gas station and stay in the bay. Wtf
Most moorings like this are free in Greece, so you cannot expect too much in the way of facilities :-)
