This is how I learned about knots in the Royal Navy.
To extend a rope with the same thickness I use the “reef knot” or “square knot”. Same knot different name.
If the ropes have different thicknesses I use the “Sheet bend”
Connecting those two lines seems like an ideal case for a sheet bend
I spent a few summer holidays visiting St Mary’s back in the 60s as a kid and remember the steps! A truly beautiful bay.
It really is a remarkable place and if you can solve the swell issue onboard then it's a total gem of a stop.
The lovers knot is called a fisherman's knot.
A double sheet bend may be a better option
Appreciate that, will be sure to look into said knot 🙏🏼😊
Hi Dom, consider using a sheet bend tied with a bight to tie two lines of unequal diameter together,the idea of the bight is to aid in releasing the knot.thanks for the awesome videos!
Flopper-stopper? Off the end of a poled out boom a tea tray sized flopper stopper has an incredible stabilizing effect. It saved my marriage.
Amazing anchorage. Amazing video. Dom the Bass Whisperer...the legend is born.
Hi guys, I love watching your videos, you might remember me and my boat, Seascape? Dom, you did my rigging in Southampton last year. We stopped off in St Mary's bay on our journey from Southampton to Conwy and had a great night at anchor. Look me up if you make it up to North Wales guys.👍
Another groovy episode. Beautiful location, and by the way, love the schooner in the background.
I’ve used that tactic at Santa Barbara Anchorage. The down side is that it’s the right thing to do at midnight (gotta wake up to tighten the bridal) to 6 AM, at which point you need to wake up and undo the bridal. It’s a bunch of management, even if it does work while correctly tuned.
You’re not wrong, there is some maintenance to perform as the tides change. As is the case with the stern anchor too.
You guys have the best music. Enjoying following along from NZ
I’ve seen boats use a stern anchor to turn 8th the swell, but this is the first I’ve seen using the existing anchor. Neat tip.
Donate for a Dream
Very useful technique Dom. We tend to use a rolling hitch for the snubber rather than a hook. We swap the snubber line with a much longer additional line using a hitch on the chain. Like you, this line is secured at the stern then onto a winch. Much improved motion on many an occasion leading to a restful nights sleep.
The magnus hitch is better.
We used to use the rolling hitch for our snubber generally before getting the hook, so see how that could work well too. 😊🙏🏼
I’ve never even heard of that, but will be sure to check it out now.
Every day is a school day for us on here 😊🙏🏼⛵️
My buddies. Never miss one of your videos. Back in the 1980's I did some comercial handline fishing. If you ask any old timer that did this for a living, he will tell you that is being done by him and his ancestors for generations. If you got more than one guy fishing you want your boat to be steady. If not the lines would tangled up. The only difference that I see is that we wanted the boat head into the current not the wind. Fair winds and sail no motoring.
Zeppelin bend is a good one for that always comes undone and is very strong
Great video! Randomly, we anchored at St Mary’s Bay for the first time on Saturday (26th) for an hour or so. Glad to see you have endorsed it!
If the weather is on side (which I guess is the same for most of these places) then it’s a very special stop. Some good snorkelling around ‘muscle rock’ too 😊🐟🐟🐟
you could have a dedicated line for the bridle and by making an alpine butterfly knot (which you can tri load) and have that shackled (or one of them fancy big wichard biners) to the anchor hook you have got yourself something you can easily deploy.
Any knot de-rates the line , so go a size, or 2. up, but not so much your winches/fairleads cant handle, you can make this a more permanent system, it just means that whenever you anchor normally, your snubber is comprised of 2 lines. you can adjust the line to have a short and longer tail permanently at the alpine knot, if that makes sense
this system also avoids pulling the chain in 2 different directions simultaneously.
Dom, again a very nice video with beautiful cinematic and music. I really like your channel. Also thanks for this anchoring technic, never seen this before but I like it. Will try in the future.
Greetings from Holland.
It’s our pleasure, I hope it’s of some use, much like this entire endeavour is becoming, I hope something of use.
We’re still fairly novice in the grand scheme of things and just sharing how we’re getting on and what’s working for us but we’re always open to the inputs from others and have (as always) learned so much from the feedback of others on what we share.
Hope to see you in some of these anchorages at some point. 😊🙏🏼
Learning so much from your channel thank you 👌🏻✊🏻🏴
It’s our pleasure and happy to share whatever we’re learning as we go. We too learn so much from simply having the channel as many more seasoned salts chime in to how we can improve upon what we’re doing, so it’s a real privilege to have this resource available to us too 😊🙏🏼⛵️
Hi , yes another great video , thanks for sharing .👍👍👍 🐶
Glad you enjoyed it and it’s our pleasure. Thanks for choosing to hang out with us for a bit again this week. Really appreciate it 🙏🏼😊
CS Forester referred to the same idea as an anchor spring. Hornblower favoured it as a technique for bringing his broadside to bear at anchor, and for changing the angle of the ship so that he could set sail when he might otherwise be head to wind.
Another common use of the same technique is with a sea anchor (parachute or series drogue) to keep your bows at about 45 degrees to the swell in rough seas.
We have a triangle piece of marine ply (epoxied & painted) that we hang over the side of the boom. There are holes in each corner leading to a single line which we tie to the boom. This is dropped in the water about a metre down, which really does slow any roll by making a resistance in the water. Before I made that I used to hang our spare anchor off the boom instead.
Ive seen ones like traffic cones used and trays with hinged up flaps in the bottom. So it sinks fast and closes to resist the rise.
Ive also seen weighted sea anchor drogues used one each side.
Sometimes resorted to suspending my Zodiac rib, via lifting harness/ halyard, so just taking up weight, then as yacht rolls, it dips in, unload, and dampens rolling a bit. Have considered a 2nd dinghy other side ... but maybe I should just have a multi hull then!!!😉
How long do you stay underwater, Dom? That's the most incredible part to me, that you can stay down long enough for the fish to get curious and start moving around freely enough to get a shot.
Thanks very much for the technique, I have yet to anchor at all so it's all great info.
Hey there. I'm usually on the seabed from anywhere between about 1min - 1.45, although mostly around the 1min mark on average, truth be told.
It takes me a while to get there though, for the first half hour or so of most dives I'm usually down from 20-40 seconds, until I start to relax into the new area I find myself in and as my heart rate begins to drop, my time under the water starts to increase. It's the same for most sessions.
My only concern is with the chain coming over the bow roller. As long as you haven't left it relying on windlass gypsy! I also only have 1 chain hook. My Own thought would be to leave the chain hook on at the bow, tie a long line with a rolling hitch and take that to the stern.
Once again, great sound design! Keep outdoing yourself.
Great video and nice to see your off to sunny Salcombe again. Beautiful Jolie Brise there I think. Hope you got a Salcombe Diary ice cream & G&T 😊
It was just a flying visit to Salcombe but it looked as pretty as always whilst we came through 😊🙏🏼⛵️
I’d have used a fisherman’s bend to tie the two lines together, especially being of different diameters as they were. But I probably would simply have left the snubber on the chain at the bow and simply tied the swell bridle to the chain with a rolling hitch, 10 or 15 feet down the chain from the bow, with the snubber above it. But then having a boat with an aft cabin with an athwartships bunk, rolly anchorages don’t stop us sleeping altho they are a complete PITA during the day when we’re trying to cook or move around!
Funny you say that, we’re actually thinking about changing the direction of our bunks, not specifically for a rolly anchorage but so that we can build a proper double sized bed for us both. It’s one of the things that really niggles is about the boat 🤣
I take a second anchor in the dinghy to where I can pull the stern round to head into the swell.
Yes we use a stern anchor sometimes too. In fact we only used it last yesterday. Little more work involved but we used it because there was no wind for the swell bridle to function properly.
Hey Dom, another great episode. Quick question, have you done a review video on the Hookah system that you are using yet? Keep up the good work guys ❤️☀️🇦🇺
The beautiful places you stay seem to never need!
We're lucky in that we have a lot to choose from here. We have such beautiful cursing grounds for sure ☺️🙏🏻
Loving all the achorage recommendations its made us try out some new spots thus Summer! And we'll try the anchor bridle too! 😊
Ooooh! Is that the Pilchard Inn at the end? I have memorable hangovers from there. Nice.
That is indeed, we head to it and ‘investigate’ in the next video, you know, doing the recon for everyone 😬😇
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Wow Sailor 🥳👍
I will pop in to st Mary's bay next year looks nice
You should, it’s a great little spot 🙏🏼😊
Outstanding narration 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking to time not only to hang out with us this week, but to stop in and say hi. Means the world, thank you 🙏🏼 😊
@@CadohaAdventures you guys are making really high quality films. Your style is fantastic.
Too much lobster and scallops?? Didn't know there was such a thing!!
Great idea!
I get very much interested in your “fish call”
(it’s not farting? 🙊🙈🙉)
Ha ha, not this time, not sure that would do much other than repel them. This is just a noise I make with my throat.
@@CadohaAdventures Sounds fishy? 😆
Another great video!
Have you got an aft fairlead that line could run through? Im not experienced enough to advise but would think that load isn't best put through the toe rail....
Yes we do, that may not be a bad shout to be fair 👌🏼😊
Very good technique for rolly anchorages that I'm using at times as well. I don't yet have my boat and the charter boats I've been on so far are quite sketchy. Have you got any issues so far with this technique during high winds? We kind of jammed once the bow rollers in a 20+ kts ... One other thing that I use, on Med Mooring - you know with the anchor in front and 2 lines on dock - is that I tie a line from the amidship cleat to a bollards to either side of the boat next or next to the next to the one the stern is tied to. And then make a loop on that line to the bollard where my boat is tied to avoid this amidship line to rub on the adjacent boat. It stabilizes it a lot specially if you get swell from ferries that go in and out. By the way, I always like the way you unfold the story how the music matches the scene all the cinematic experience! Excellent job!
We haven’t used it in ‘high winds’ as I would worry about the amount of force you’d have on your gear with all the extra windage you’d cause by being essentially beam on to the wind.
It’s also anchorage dependant, if it was crowded and windy then we likely wouldn’t use it either, but in all honesty when we’ve had high winds in an anchorage (so far) we haven’t had swell coming from a different direction, so it could also be that we just haven’t found ourselves in that situation as of yet.
please more tips
I am going to start asking people if they have a Rolling Anchorage Mitigation Tactic..
I’m sure most people who spend any meaningful amount to time at anchor have some strategy for dealing with the swell 😊⛵️
u might try purchasing a flopper stopper
You’re not the first person to mention that actually. In fact as have a drogue on board and we were thinking of adding some weight to that and hanging that off the side too in order to dampen the sharpness of any rolling.
For those two types of lines, ze fiancé is recommending a double Beckett bend.
Hi Guys,
I have been watching your channel ever since you brought Cadoha down from Scotland! (I think previous youtubers had owned her).
During this time, my interest has been off-grid leaving. Here in the UK, living on a sailboat does appear to be one of the last ways to achieve this!
Up here in Scotland, I have found both the Clyde and middle west Scotland has been achievable to anchor (not using mooring buoys) during the summer months with an average of 1 marina night every two weeks (Not including non boat related stuff like work, docs and vets)!
Having now done a few years on the south coast, how often do you find staying just on anchor is possible (during the summer months)?
In the summer months it’s now very easy for us to stay off grid along the south coast, only going into marinas or harbour if you need to from time to time.
But if you’re sufficiently prepared then there are so many anchorages to choose from, nearly all empty, that we just head into and enjoy.
You need to be able to generate enough power, make water, and store/ harvest enough food. However you solve those issues is one thing, but in terms of finding places to stay, for free, which offer decent protection from the weather, there are so many options. 👌🏼⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures Thanks for your reply... you have proved my previous thoughts on the south coast being too busy, completely wrong! Finding drinking water has been a challenge for me but this year I have been using a micron and UV filter system for rivers and streams! So far I haven't got ill! :)
@@paulfox1756 oh wow, that’s really interesting, so you are filling up Jerry cans from rivers then using a UV filter before putting it into your boat?
@@CadohaAdventures, Yep. I use some micron size filters and then push it through (via a basic 12v RV pump) to a UV filter that runs off a 300w invertor. The water I use for washing etc is just going through sediment filter but the drinking water goes through the UV filter! Before this I found that I would sometimes go into Marinas just for water! I do use jerry cans but recently started looking at converting a hiking rucksack with a water bag inside it!
Boat needs a wash 😂 hahaha
100a% agree. We’ve cleaned the bottom of the hull only last week but the top sides and water-line are looking in serious need of some love ❤️
Poor lad, only Lobster and Scallop. Pfffft. 8:41
We all have our crosses to bare. No one said it would be easy 😬
You are so perfect 😍 ❤
I’ll assume that’s to either Carly or Hank, and if so, no argument from me 😊🙏🏼❤️
;)
:-)
Good technique, but how about deploying a kedge?
:¬)
Sad to see video titled degenerate into uninformative click bait
Uninformative? Click bait?
I mean I shared not only how we now stop rolling in the swell (which certainly feels like a game changer for us this season), but I also showed how to easily call fish over for dinner. That was two pearls of life changing wisdom for the price of one video.
Now you may have already known these things yourself, and if you did then all power to you, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t revelations to us, and also that others out there didn’t learn something new from this.
It was a bit like when I used to teach martial arts, I mostly enjoyed teaching people who were brand new to the arts. Nothing gave me more pleasure than showing a regular person how trivially easy it is to subdue someone twice your size and half your age with just a few basic techniques.
Despite being a three time nation champion, a champion in three separate weight divisions and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, making me able to teach much more advanced techniques, techniques which would make defeating a regular person look like a cat playing with a mouse, there was just something much more satisfying sharing the ‘ah ha’ moments with newer people that came with sharing the basics.
So if someone else with a lifetime of fighting experience came to my classes they may have felt (for them) that what I was showing was perhaps ‘Uninformative’ (again, for them personally) but to those who were not so highly skilled, the basic techniques I’d teach were in fact game changers, as they were for me when I was first exposed to them too.
Sorry to hear you feel ‘duped’ or didn’t enjoy the video, but there is nothing dishonest about the video, thumbnail or title, there really are two game changing (for us sailing novices) skills which we’ve learnt (and shared now) this season.
Well said Dom. ignore muppets like that. It’s very informative for those of us who cruise this part of the south coats…love it..keep em coming…
Such a great reply Dom - The video as usual, was informative, entertaining and we appreciate the time and effort you both put in to create. Thank you. @@CadohaAdventures
