👍✌️👏👏
Not worth watching.
A noninformative, collection of photos, most not worth looking at.
it is not surprising the effect of the cold and wind .. what it is surprising is the fact you found almost a perfect enclave to safely bypass the storm !! wow !!
Welldone!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
While your video is dated February 9, 2019, when did you actually travel? Is there a calmer time of year to travel? We have to remember, summer in the Southern Pole occurs from December to February.
Was wondering the same thing but I guess the distances are huge, if you are going to make the full run in a single season.
Did you get a weather report that said find somewhere to hide?
Impressive!
If this trash boat cannot handle the weather, maybe try looking up the weather beforehand, yeah, Christiesons?
AustralianAid boat shoulda taken the trash out of Minerva despite NZ High Commissioner's intervention
Sorry what you wrote didn't make any sense to us, on both our visits to Minerva we didn't see any trash. Cheers Phil and Lynda
Snug anchorage!
Very much, one of the tightest anchorages we've been in. Cheers Phil and Lynda
Отличный Кораблик и правильная команда! Потому и достойно справились. Конечно попали на водоросли, здесь никакой якорь не удержит. Единственно что можно было сделать так это поискать песчаный грунт. Но с таким якорем и песок не удержал бы. Лучший из якорей это Данфорт, правильный Данфорт!
A tough and beautiful boat with a very capable crew, excellent!
Sadly my crew and wife Lynda, is dying of cancer. Phil
Such a mess in a raw you were at struggle around South Georgia to make the full monthy, America 🇦🇷
The most heartwrenching thing for a seafarer to see and exprience... but what seamanship! Well done!!! What a stunning vessel. What designis she? Who built her?
Hi Craig, Windora was designed by Athol Burns a naval architect from Wellington NZ, in his lifetime designed over 700 hundred vessels. She was commissioned for Alan Scott an engineer from Port Charmers Dunedin. Lynda and I have owned her and sailed her about the planet now for 30 years. All the best Phil and Lynda
Thank you for sharing this great video of your stunningly beautiful vessel in this spectacular place. Magnificent!
Hello I like your bot make from solid wood, thanks for sharing this for me
Hermoso registro exploratorio de esas bellas, inhóspitas, prístinas, dramática y loca geografía de la Patagonia chilena. Alrededor de la Cordillera Darwin, aparecen el Seno Garibaldi, el "Fiordo Chico" (con el "glaciar Piloto" al fondo) y el Fiordo y Glaciar "Pía" con vista de fondo del monte Shipton, el monte continental más alto de todo el paralelo 53°, 54°, 55° y 56°S, todo situado dentro del Parque Nacional Alberto de Agostini, de la Región de Magallanes e Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego - Chile.
Thankyou for you reply, sadly I don't understand Spanish and would really like to know what you have written. Cheers Phil and Lynda
Wow! I’m speechless.
Thanks Eric, Lynda and I still overcome with what Windora has given us during the last 30 years. Cheers Phil
Really smoking...
I was there twice. Do not sail so close ? The wave is not dangerous, but the ice ... Your boat looks perfect fot this kind of trip
We are very blessed having Windora, she draws a lot of attention around the world. Cheers Phil and Lynda
As hard as i try i can’t imagine how sailboats traversed the straights of Magellan or the drake straight before engines.
Time.... Apply enough time to the problem and you'll overcome most things. Cheers Phil
Went through once on a 5000ton refrigerator ship - mid winter - was so cold ships heating struggled so slept fully clothed - hate the cold tropics guy me but would go back there again in a heart beat - one of the most beautiful spectacular places I ever visited during my time in the British merchant marine
Visiting Patagonia was unfinished business from our past, absolutely unforgettable. Phil
Who is the manufacturer of your yacht? Absolute pure seamanship. Well done skipper. I subscribed!!!
The designer was Athol Burns, who designed over 700 vessels in his lifetime.
Yes outstanding seamanship! That had to be scary! Welll done!
Thank you, to busy to be scared. Phil
Beautiful
You nee3d many , manyn moree dertails in your text
More text would be wonderful. Thank you for the video. I didn't need the music. I hope you are well and safe today.
Sailing and drinking RUM is what I'm good at. Cheers Phil
I can't imagine how you rowed against such strong wind , excellent results thank goodness !
Amazing
Wow, gorgeous vessel and astonishing footage. Much is said about the Cape Horn, but not as much about Magalhães. I can see why now. You found the perfect spot to be protected from that scaring storm.
Holy hell. This is great footage and great repairs. Cheers!

Wow. The weather take is something else down there.
some days when i look at the ocean here in the "ROCK" I think of Windora and her crew , I sure hope you are somewhere safe and sound from the winds of torment in our wonderous planet of oceans !!!!!
Nice to hear from you Bill, Lynda and I are still living abroad Windora back home in NZ. Being tormented by the wind as we biuld our cabin in Wairangi Bay at the head of Squally Cove. Onboard with the fire going its hard to believe all the far-away places around the planet she has taken us to. Phil
Lindo barco!!! Estou construindo um motorsailor também!!!! Muito rica a experiência de vocês!! Forte abraço meu e da minha família de Pelotas/RS/Brasil
How did Magellan go down wind through the Strait when you have to turn East, West, North and South?
I think you have in apply enough time tp to the problem to overcome the weather, remember it took Joshua Slocum over a month. Phil
This is the only place to be how fortunate you where to have found it happy seas
Thanks Kiven, sometimes we're in the right spot at the at the time. Phil
Yep wire ties just are not the thing sometimes, aircraft wire would be better, I'm sure they engineered a good solution
Hi Christopher, Go take a look at any brand new yanmar marine diesel engine, the electrical cables are held in place using plastic cable ties. Sometimes shit happens. Phil
Have seen some ships, have metal bridges for cables and maybe hoses.
Beautiful boat, is the hull encapsulate with glass fiber and resin? If so how has it worked out
Hi Robert, Windora was glassed with 6 oz cloth in epoxy resin when built. I reglassed her in 2008 with 2 layers of 650 gram double bias cloth using 180 litres of epoxy resin to give her some protection around ice. Now at 50 years old the hull is in excellent condition considering what we have been though. Phil
👍👍🙌
That looks cold.
What a beast of a boat, only scratched the paint haha
Amazing build to say the least. Thank you for sharing !
Beautiful lands and great videos you recorded. ..Also your boat is wonderful...
Fascinating 👍👍
Thanks
Too much wheelhouse ingress risk.
Windora's design is very capable of taking good care of her pilothouse. Athol Burns designed over 700 vessels in his lifetime most of them built for extreme conditions in the Cook Strait. Plus we have been in seastates most sailers would only not want to dream about. Phil
Wind 100knots???? Seriously?? Beaufort 12 is more toen 65 knots….so…100 knots is Bf 15? 😂
I grew up in Marlborough Sounds near Cook Strait, New Zealand I know what 100 knots does across the surface of the sea. Phil
