That really depends on what the situation is - is it certainly one of the supplementary questions that the Coastguard will ask you but it is not required for a Mayday message. It is very useful to add it into the Pan Pan call if you are looking for a tow.
Hi Kath. Thanks for your amazing videos. So structured and clear. Well done. May I ask about the significance of the difference making way and under way respectively Nav Lights On or not (slide on minute 6:00): Why does the ColRegs differ here? Maybe I am just annouyed atm by learning this. But there must be any kind of importance about this difference I havent figured out yet. Thanks.
You are underway when you are no longer fast to the shore, at anchor or aground. You are making way when you are being propelled by your main machinery.
Thanks for the accurate explanation. Could you al me to understand at the minute 20 of the tutorial, concern the mean spring and neep curves, how can I know if is spring or neep in this case?
Genuinely curious: at level 2 is this the only scenario you would encourage students to leave the helm with engine running? I’m a fairly new instructor so it’s always interesting to see how real instructors do rather than the “RYA” way
SuperDupper!! But @min 13:17.. you will not have that Fl R 2.5s 15m light into your stern. You will have it first on your port broad reach, and once you will see the bridge light in 308 deg, you will change towards it and you will have that light into your stern :) I do love all your videos, and right now I'm recap for my YMO (wish me luck please!!) :))) Thank you for your lovely and comprehensive tutorials!!!! Fair winds!
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!
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.
Hi, Can I say that you are brilliant? I am 72 and about to start a day skipper theory course and am terrified about learning sooo much. You have been a great help with my preparation. Many many thanks
Whats best kind of life jacket to purchase to practice entering water from the side? The orange foam ones are 150N will these bring you straight back up? The inflatable ones go up 200+Ns, I had a fear of stepping in recently on PST course so intend buy my own life jacket and practice stepping in at my local pool in shallower water
Hi Tim, thanks for watching the video. The RIB on the slides is just an indicative vessel to show how the sound signals relate to port/starboard/astern of the vessel.
