5 Knot Tides & 100 Ships | Why Portsmouth Harbour Is "INSANE"

Portsmouth Harbour sees 130,000 ship movements a year. As a small sailboat owner, you are at the bottom of the food chain. This is what you need to know to get it right. Sailing into Portsmouth Harbour, a bustling Naval Shipyard in a small boat means sharing one of Britain's busiest waterways with Royal Navy warships, massive ferries, and 5-knot tidal flow sometimes all at the same time. Get it wrong and you could become an accident statistic. In this video I take my sailing yacht Zephyr IV through the Portsmouth Small Boat Channel, introduced by the Kings Harbourmaster for vessels under 20 metres, and walk you through exactly what the Harbour Master requires of you — and why those rules exist to ensure maritime safety. 📍 Portsmouth is on the South Coast of England, UK ⚓ What you'll learn: The Small Boat Channel — where it is and how to use it Why you MUST use your engine in the channel Staying to starboard — and why it matters Reading the tides and the traffic Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:40 Where is Portsmouth 0:50 Portsmouth Harbour Entrance 1:33 The Small Boat Channel 2:31 Sailing in With Zephyr IV 2:40 The Inner Swashway 4:10 Portsmouth from Number 2 Bar Buoy 6:28 The sides of the harbour 6:50 Naval Ships MOD Police patrols 7:16 The marinas & Gosport Ferry 10:04 Leaving Portsmouth Harbour 11:28 In from the East 12:13 The Tides 🔗 Kings Harbour Master Rules: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/khm/port... 🔗 NCI Gosport: https://www.nci.org.uk/station/gosport/ Sailing Zephyr IV — a 35ft Westerly Ocean Quest, Portsmouth Harbour Channel -    / @davesailing   #Portsmouth #Sailing #PortsmouthHarbour #SmallBoatChannel #CoastalSailing #SailingUK
