Catamaran sailing techniques Part 3 - Anchoring and picking up a mooring

Not only is this video phenomenally useless, The camera man obviously doesn't sail, He spends more time focusing on the bridge instead the bow where we are could actually potentially learn something.

There is an easier way especially on a catamaran in strong winds when the mooring is a ball.

Simply attach a single rope at least 2 X longer than the width of your boat to each cleat on the bow of each pontoon, run straight up to the ball in the center. When you're over the ball toss the rope into the water on the upwind side of the ball. Then let the boat drift back, the rope will slider under the ball and hold the boat fast. Then you can take your time, even lowering the dingy to use to attach your bridle lines to the mooring ball tail. Simple!

Much easier to come down wind to the mooring. Then you can use astern to hold the bow where you want it.
Once attached the boat will swing to the wind.

I would not let this bloke moor my cat .... After years on living aboard a cat we did learn well how to pick up a mooring and to anchor .... With a cat in gusty 15 kt winds it is difficult to pick up a mooring. You need to come up to the mooring at a speed where you have control and hit astern with good revs to stop you. Then your not fighting with the mooring line against the wind..

Hard to imagine how commentary could have been less useful. Could not learn anything from this. Obviously just a jolly with no thought being given as to how to provide anything useful.
Cant you at least add some subtitles, to provide some idea as to what is going on?

This videos are at best, marginally useful - there is no real explanation or context setting. I expect more from Yachting World.

This is a terrible video. As the other commenters stated below, it leaves more questions and is not particularly informative

Do you think this video actually explains anything to anyone who is trying to learn?
First part - you somehow attach a bridle to the anchor chain with a special hook that you don't show with a retrival line that you don't explain what to do with. Nor do you explain what to do with the bridle.
Second part, you pick up a mooring bouy using the engines and rudder to steer - who would have guessed that?
Does this supposed to reflect the quality of the magazine?

I think for the uninitiated your video leaves more questions than answers. If I may suggest, show the whole video don't be intimidated by showing all the fiddling about, because that really demonstrates in the real word what it takes to anchor and get on and off a mooring ball.  Especially in a blow.     My 2 cents.:)

Thanks for another valuable video for a future catamaran owner (me!).

A couple of questions:
1 What is the purpose of the retrieval line on the bridle - why not just wind in the chain until you can reach the bridle?
2 I presume you attach the bridle to the mooring after you pick it up (this wasn't shown in the video)?

Thanks again.
