[Jeremy Clark]

Visited Fowey Harbour last night to film the largest sailing vessel in the world, Golden Horizon, moored, then prepare & leave the harbour with the help of the FHC Tugboat Morgawr & the pilot boat. I hope you enjoy

I didn’t know where Fowey Harbour was, found out it is in the UK. Beautiful landscape / waterway. Great video, thanks for sharing, quite a dingy. ?

Freakin amazing! Were you tempted (having avoidance sensors) to tour the cabins? Seriously, this gives the viewer a very special perspective that is award-winning.

Think I found it, seems it is to assist steering as thought, but still couldn't see the line !!
As per replies in the link below, they often allow the line to be slack (underwater) and use it if needed to pull the back around either way navigating through tight turns.

Why are tugboats frequently BEHIND cargo ships?

Answer (1 of 11): I'm guessing you are referring to Escort Tugs: As you see here, the Tug is connected to the vessel's aft through a towing line and is pulling it sideways. Basically Tug is helping the vessel turn faster. Escort Tugs are special purpose tugs (they might be the same tugs used i...

How impressive. She makes surrounding boats and background homes look like toys. Love to see her with full sails up. Thank you for sharing.
