What does each of your mooring lines actually do? Shawn explains classic line positions and their jobs. He also explains how to think outside the box when it comes to tying your boat up whether you are on a floating pier, a slip, or tying off on a bulkhead.
Our mission here at Boat Training Online is to “safely help you make memories that will last a lifetime”.

Sir, your channel should be mandatory viewing for all boaters! I've been running recreational boats for 51 years and there's not one of your videos from which I've learned nothing! I've always considered myself a knowledgeable and safe boater, but you've humbled me. Thank you a million times over!

No one I know of every uses numbers for their cleats. The cleats are bow, stern and midships. Most boats I am familiar with have three cleats. Bigger boat (say 50+) feet will have more.

Enjoyed your video. It reminded me of my days in the Navy. I once had to move an aircraft carrier 20’ down the pier without power or tugs to keep the down elevators from crushing some crates as the tide ebbed. I took slacked the forward spring lines and had about ten guys sit on the aft spring lines. Slowly the line would come down as their weight move the 1000’ ship backwards. We kept repeating the procedure until we got the ship moved to its new position.

As a lonesome boater & up there in age I have to find ways to make everything easier more convenient for me, I use 2 lines, bow & stern, w/a loop in bow line & pass stern line through loop so it comes out the middle of boat & use as breast line, then when docked use both lines tied up to dock if needed !

Outstanding, thank you so much for sharing. It’s funny, I’m 64 now and I’m working a few days for TowBoat. I’m by myself taking boats in stern tow and bringing them alongside. When I was in my twenties, we ran around with a 5 man crew doing the same thing. Keep boating Roger!!!

I Love It! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my videos. We just hit 100 subscribers this weekend and I'm stoked. I've got so many videos trapped inside this head of mine; I hope you continue to watch. I appreciate you!!!

i liked how you described the different commands - I'd like to see a dedicated video on that. My wife and I are cruising together and we use headsets to communicate. I think we'd do even better by upgrading our communication conventions as you suggest - both voice and hand signals, command and response. "Put over number 2" ... " number 2 fast." etc.

Tom, thank you so much for your comment! I don't know if you are a reader or not but I would like to suggest a book that I don't let get very far from me. Watch Officer's Guide by James Stavridis, USN. I've referred to this book since 1985 when it was given to me. Granted, it is a military book with military procedures but it does a fantastic job of explaining the whys and the hows. There is an entire chapter on the use of Standard Commands in regard to the helm and line commands. This book is packed with great information that will make your cruising safer and more enjoyable.

Great video. May I suggest a video on binoculars Coastal and off shore if there is a difference. Thank you Mike

@boattrainingonline6561 Год назад

Outstanding idea, there's a lot to a good set of binoculars and most people take them for granted.

@diverd2162 9 дней назад

Some great info but there are many ways to secure a boat but this is not a tanker, get rid of the numbers. The bow and stern lines should be run longer and fore/aft. to reduce stress on cleats and deck, not as breast lines breast lines are too short and cause jerking motions even on floating docks.

@radiusnorth1675 23 дня назад

I think your presentation could be improved with "better" notations, ie : 1&4 breast lines, 2&3 spring lines. ( it's a small thing, but to me the notation 1-4 [at least at first glance] by convention means all lines 1 2 3 & 4. None the less thanks for your video.
