Man Overboard! 

A boater for over 40 years. Of all the Boat tutorials, these cover important subjects missed by others. These are the most practical, straightforward, understandable videos I have found. Please keep them coming! As a pilot, totally understand and appreciate the value of the “What if’s”!

Dear Captain Ron, Please accept my gratitude for the exceptional content you share on your RU-vid channel. Your dedication to promoting safety and skill development among boaters has made a remarkable impact on my boating endeavors and that of my crew. I too live in New England and have been boating it’s often unforgiving waters for many years. Your ability to present information in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner sets you apart. The practical skills you impart through your videos not only enhance safety on the water but also make us better boaters with new skills and a better understanding of old. I am especially grateful for the subtle insights you provide, which have frequently helped me connect the dots on things I’ve learned myself over the years. Furthermore, I must mention that my wife, who is an essential part of my crew, finds your videos equally interesting and easy to comprehend. Your well-defined, succinct messages always hit the mark without unnecessary frills or lengthy explanations. Your videos are, without a doubt, the pinnacle of safety and competency in boating. I want to express my deep appreciation for your efforts and encourage you to continue sharing your knowledge and experience for many years to come. I firmly believe that your video links should be a direct reference on any safe boating course or resource, as they provide invaluable insights that can save lives and enhances the overall boating experience. Once again, thank you, Captain Ron, for your dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to boating safety. Your contributions to the boating community are immeasurable and as your content grows what a fantastic training resource you will become. Wishing you fair winds, calm seas, and continued success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, Jim

Yet another fact filled watch! So glad you enjoy this almost as much as all your subscribers! Thank you

Great information Skipper, THANK YOU for the guidance. This old dog is learning valuable lessons from you.

Excellent information from someone that knows what they are talking about. Thanks for the refresher and for the info I forgot and the info I did not know!

With a sailboat sailing and the PIW is drifting with the wind, not current, jibe to come to the PIW, luff up to pick up the PIW on the leeward side if possible.

Great topic! Last year, my 14 year old grandson accidentally dropped a square white vinyl seat cushion overboard while we were sailing through 2’ waves. It was amazing how difficult it was to keep an eye on it, bobbing up and down in the waves; imagine a much smaller person’s head. For MOB practice, perhaps use a red TIDE bottle. Much less expensive than losing a fender!

I am loving your videos. I have been boating out of Chatham for more than 50 years but your videos offer some more formal style training than my old man, seat of the pants seamanship. Within a couple years I will have finished my Bertram 25 restoration project and I will be making more extensive trips in the region. Your lessons will come in handy to keep me and my family safe. Maybe we'll hook up and I'll give you a ride in my Bertram! Subscribed.
