sailing these kind of conditions is the most amazing experience. being in a 60 foot yacht and feeling the hull start chattering and skittering like a skiff on the plane is certainly an experience
I wonder if it is hull deflection you see? Or rather just the mast bending... Or do you mean the forestay loosens due to hull bending as the hull slams, and thereby making the mast bend away?
@@MrGentlebutfirm Yeah it was the way the forestay slacked then snapped tight that caught my eye. The aft stays don't appear to have stretched or failed, meaning the bow deflected vertically by a good 8-10 inches from where it left the mould. And then you see the forces ripple back through the hull and rigging as it snaps true.
@@hrvsmart indeed I do. It's a ratio that very few understand, and, is widely used in the media to sensationalise. For example. The divided states of america had a whopping 35,000 vehicle fatalities, whereas the prison island you know as Australia only had 9,500. That's a difference of 31,500! However, when we factor in population sizes, things are not as bad as they seem. The divided states of america has a population of 333,300,000 whereas the prison island has a population of only 26,010,000. If we divide deaths by population we get 0.0001% for dsa and 0.0003%, or three times the number of deaths _per capia_ . In conclusion, although the number of deaths is three times greater in the dsa, you are three times more likely to die from a car accident in australia.
Beautiful. I sail on Lake Erie Ohio, USA, and I really appreciate the footage. Sailing is such a spiritual thing for me. Something about tapping into the kinetic and potential energy of the world helps me feel more connected to the bigger universe. Within those moments, considering are atoms were formed in ancient stars, I realize that I am part of the universe, and it is part of me. In these times of clarity I feel the universe gaining conciousness through this realization. Priceless!
It's amazing to see sails reefed that much still generate so much drive and heel. Can only imagine what the ride would be like downwind on something like that.
Good to see this from the outside of the boat. Now I understand the reason why it may feel sometimes a little uncomfortable when sailing in large waves ;-)
I think she was one of the boats finishing that race. By the first gale warning I would have made my way to the harbour, scared as hell. Aussies are of a different kind!
Much respect. A lot more brave than I am. I love sailing, but I'd never go out in sea like that running full sail. I wouldn't want to be in it at all, much less with full sails.
The main is reefed to less than half its surface area, and they're still heeled over to about 45 degrees. There's no changing the rigging at that kind of wind speed. All you can do is be ready to sheet out.
Your truly on the helm. Crossing bass strait in the '98 Syd-Hobart. We had 50+ knots with the occasional gust over 60Knots. The sea were large +. I'll let you work that out. And sadly Gary is no longer with us. In this race he put his own life on the line to save many sailors.
...a trimaran, that rely mostly on form stability are more prone to capsizes than monohulls (as well as cartwheels when burrowing the bows, but that's another story). Note though that I am a fan of both types of sailing, either in mono or multi hulls.
A few of those big ones at the wrong time can cause significant structural damage. Just look at how Larry Ellison's bigger, newer "Sayonara" delaminated with crushed bulkheads in the same race.
The rule of thumb is that if a breaking wave height is higher than the full beam (width) of the boat, it will capsize. Capsizing doesn't necessarily mean that she'll stay like that - most boats, and specially offshore, usually "pop-up" back again. This is due to a design characteristic of these boats (and almost any boat) called the "angle of vanishing stability" (GZ), which basically indicates, as the name indicates, the angle of no return when a boat capsizes...
When she hits that hole at 31seconds. Thats the sort of movement that will have a rig collape on you. The shock loads are massive. You have to glue the boat to the back of the wave. It's really hard work for the helm but the motor back home without the rig is just crap.
she's really in the groove, traveller down eased main, going well a lesson for cruisers, take a weekend on a racing boat, you'll learn more than you will in 10 years cruising
...If I'm not mistaken, IMOCA 60's (usually used for round th world solo sailing) have a GZ of more than 120º, i.e., the boat has to be able to roll 120º and still come back up on the same side. The aspects that influence this are the Vertical Centre of Gravity (VCG) - which is bettered by a long fin keel with its weight way down [the lower the better] - and form stability provided by the maximum beam of the boat - though this last one serves only up until a point, eg, a catamaran or...
so was this a suicide trip for that drone? Or were they somehow able to land it? I am glad to see the footage as it is a perspective almost never seen.
It would take much larger waves than that to capsize that boat or a structural failure of some sort. The worst that could happen in these conditions is the boat gets knocked on its side and with the sails sideways out of the wind the boat would spin around and pop right back up.
Adreniline sport like everest thing yadda yadda, things can go bad also. Anyway, interesting how it can be handled by people who are experienced at it.
after 3h of this, you start asking yourself: it's crazy...why i am here?...:-( One day in a sea like this one, i saw a very tough and young man crying...this experience changed his live forever...
I think that's Solandra or Sayonara during the epic and ill fated 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race. It's definitely the race, the only thing I'm not sure of is the boat? It is part of another special on CZcams about the race. I think it is Australian channel 9 or ABC TV helicopter footage.
yep u are a beginner. put it this way. That is over 100m2 of rag (sail) there. to compare a topper is less than 5m2. plus thats over 40knots of wind. the most a beginner would have sailed in is 15 knots. hope that helps
I love sailing, but I would most likely through up if I was on that thing with those big waves. I recommend going to the weakapaug yaught club if you live in westerly rhode island
@espadaanduril Un poco tarde pero igual te respondo; Cuando reduces el area de la vela se dice 'reefing'. "Single, double or triple reefed mainsail" En ingles 'Schooner' se le dice a cualquier barco que tenga dos o mas mastiles donde el mastil mas al frente no es mas alto que los mastiles de atras. Cuando son dos mastiles y el trasero es mas bajo que el del frente se le dice 'ketch'. Hasta donde yo se, no tiene nombre especifico este tipo de carrera. Saludos!
@geolog12 Im pretty sure there are many of multis that would be able to stand on this kind of weather, all they need to do is to reef the sail, Im amazed that this mono actually made through these conditions, without capsizing
@@epistte Yep i agree . I'd swear blind , i saw the rig give when they jumped the wave at 0.30 . Yeah i know their racing , but without a rig their race is done .
If I am looking at the same thing that you are, it looks like its a halyard clipped to the lifeline. At one point i thought it might be the cut of the sail....but i dont think so.
Sydney Hobart 1998. Larry Ellison's Sayonara. Crew of 24. Same crew of 1995 America's Cup Black Magic. Many broken bones on this boat. 6 people died in the regatta. This is NOT common sailing, this is racing in the most critic conditions.
@kenziemark69 - Pretty sure it's Brindabella. They fought it out with Sayonara for line honors.

pbr2424, I have crossed the Pacific under sail, double-handed, in my own boat, taking what I call the scenic route. I love sailing, but the guys in this clip definitely weren't having a nice day.

News footage of one of the few to make Hobart in 1998.
this is typical for 12 meter yacht races
Wow, the deflection in the hull around 0:30 I don't even want to think about the dynamic structural forces going on there.
I wonder if it is hull deflection you see? Or rather just the mast bending... Or do you mean the forestay loosens due to hull bending as the hull slams, and thereby making the mast bend away?

This footage is from the 1998 Sydney-Hobart race. Out of 115, only 44 finished, 5 sank and 6 sailors died. A 1 hr documentary can be found on youtube.
Stop being dramatic. In the same year, 523 died on Australian roads.
@@the-naked-sailor and how many people were on the roads in that time. Do you understand what the term "per capita" means?
@@hrvsmart indeed I do. It's a ratio that very few understand, and, is widely used in the media to sensationalise. For example.

You owe it to yourself to read Christian Williams' "Philosophy of Sailing: Offshore in Search of the Universe" (2018)
Love the realization of the moment at hand kind human
It's amazing to see sails reefed that much still generate so much drive and heel. Can only imagine what the ride would be like downwind on something like that.
Real heavy waves! That bow cuts the the water like you wouldn't believe. Looks like the entire crew is riding starboard
Good to see this from the outside of the boat. Now I understand the reason why it may feel sometimes a little uncomfortable when sailing in large waves ;-)
such a graceful moment, a powerful moment, terribly exciting, the beauty of sailing
I think she was one of the boats finishing that race. By the first gale warning I would have made my way to the harbour, scared as hell. Aussies are of a different kind!
One of the only real heavy weather sailing vids on the internet. Mostly the camera is on the boat so you can't see that well. Great vid.
Brindabella is a modified Jutson 79, designed by Scott Jutson launched in 1993 now with a third owner will take part in the 2010 Sydney-Hobart
The real skill is in the heli pilot keeping his chopper steady in these conditions!
Much respect. A lot more brave than I am. I love sailing, but I'd never go out in sea like that running full sail. I wouldn't want to be in it at all, much less with full sails.
The helmsman knows what (s)he's doing...

look at that thing cut the water, magnificent

Posted a long time ago, hope all is well. Have you written your experience down, I would love to read it? Respect. Take care.
They have the blade up and a huge reef in the main and they are still heeling over that much. That is insane wind!
...a trimaran, that rely mostly on form stability are more prone to capsizes than monohulls (as well as cartwheels when burrowing the bows, but that's another story).
Note though that I am a fan of both types of sailing, either in mono or multi hulls.
very nice sailing. I've recently read that cutting large waves at an angle is much preferred in high wind. nice to see a text book example.
Bury the bow ! heeled over hard, great footage.
La fatídica Sydney-Hobart del 98 que sin embargo nos dejó joyas como esta:
oh no !!!!! scared to death I would be ....definitely a great captain at the helm...

that's one hell of a pounding at :30
Go Hard boys :)
That's awesome stuff right there,, they are kickin ass.
fantastic sailing! what a ride!
Awesome! I doubt this is CGI. The other amazing wave riding vid is the Pirates of the Caribbean one. Truly kick butt!!
Adecuando el equilibrio entre las Velas ..........buena gestión de las condiciones.....👌👌👍👍

The best sailing is when the side of the boat becomes the bottom of the boat. A big and heavy keel is needed.
The is Brindabella . I was on it at the time. 65kts wind 270deg
Archie Cropley 👏
this is awsome my grandparents did this from usa to bermuda except they hit a hurricane in a 25 ft boat and got out.
one sould respect and have to have guts.
Masters of the universe! Rock on with your recondite activities :)
Reef and Furl baby!!!!
incredible video! She's well-heeled!
at 0:30 the rigger knows if he has done a good job. Look at the forces on the rig/mast. It justs plummets >10 feet down.
Great skeeper on the healm ritght there!
i want so see moooore ....and with sound, of this incredible video!
Man risk of capsizing was 99% right there scariest shit I've seen for sailing
she's really in the groove, traveller down eased main, going well a lesson for cruisers, take a weekend on a racing boat, you'll learn more than you will in 10 years cruising

Saynara at the time was 8 miles east of us. This footage was shot from ABC helicopter. We were half way across Bass Strait
awesome
That looks unreal, I am absolutely not calling it a fake, it just looks unreal
@tosca0700, it is Brindabella, it was never Nicorrette, but andrew short (RIP) did buy it and it is now owned by someone else.
Prime seamen for sure
Adreniline sport like everest thing yadda yadda, things can go bad also. Anyway, interesting how it can be handled by people who are experienced at it.
this is awesome footage of brindabella during the tragic 1998 sydney to hobart race
Simply Awesome! =)

its Brindabella, the distinctive marks on the bow identify her
Ah - a race! I guess that explains the amount of sail he has up under the conditions.
Nice footage!
yep u are a beginner. put it this way. That is over 100m2 of rag (sail) there. to compare a topper is less than 5m2.
plus thats over 40knots of wind. the most a beginner would have sailed in is 15 knots.
hope that helps
you guys are nuts.. wish i was onboard
You need some BIG stones and a capable boat to try this. well done on the "lean" people
I love sailing, but I would most likely through up if I was on that thing with those big waves. I recommend going to the weakapaug yaught club if you live in westerly rhode island

@jezcol Yes, is the Sidney Hobart Race 1998, and yes, people die on the sea in this race.
WET N WILD!
This video was a part of longer yachting video with music and sound. Does anyone have the link?
damn that mug is ballin like a man in those waves
brindabella was a lovely boat, that looks like footage from the 1998 Sydney Hobart
@geolog12 Im pretty sure there are many of multis that would be able to stand on this kind of weather, all they need to do is to reef the sail, Im amazed that this mono actually made through these conditions, without capsizing
beautiful
thats perfect sailing conditions
my gut dropped at 0:30 and I'm not even on the damn thing!
0:30 --> That's insane. Jumping a boat of that size... I wonder how many of the crew members have fudge in their pants. I know i would.
you have got to have some balls to sail in the stuff, but its pretty sweet
If I was on a sailboat and that one went down I was going to die
gorgeous
Молодца!
Hardcore 😋
cool
I think I'd want a bit less canvas up in that.
That looks like a quick way to be demasted. One or even two more reefs are called for. Maybe even a storm jib and a very reefed main.
they are racing mate.
