18th August 2022, a weather system known as a 'Derecho' started to form over the Balearic Islands, some 300 miles away from Corsica. This weather system was NOT forecasted and the prevailing strong winds were out of the North. Girolata Bay is open to the South West and so should have been a sheltered/ protected bay.
At 0800hrs approximately the weather was overcast and calm with winds 0-5 knots and zero swell/wind chop. A squall approached from the SW and within minutes driving rain, zero visibility and 50-60knot winds arrived. Within 20-30 minutes of this sustained squall winds were 70-80knots and waves over 2 metres in height. The winds died after an hour, but swell continued for 2-3 hours.
How do I know this?
I was there!.
In my 39 years as a professional mariner I have never experienced a sustained squall of this magnitude.
We saved our 120' yacht (with damage) and managed to rescue/tow 2 sailing yachts in distress, to Calvi port. En route to Calvi, we saw +11 beached sailing yachts in just one bay to the North of Girolata (Galeria bay) and I imagine many more yachts are caught out with this. The storm caused damage along the whole West coast of Corsica and continued to wreak havoc to Tuscany, Italy.
Wow, glad to hear you guys made it out of there. What a crazy event and just reinforces my mentality of you can never be to safe on the water, and you can never trust a forecast 100%.
I agree 100% @@turbostyler
Predict Wind nor Windy are able to forecast these squalls? I got caught by a similar unpredicted squal in a bay in Honduras, but that was an electrical storm and both acknowledge they struggle to predict electrical storms. I had thought that (outside such areas) one would have reasonable notice.
France Metro did not predict I and raise the anhcort. Non of the French Semaphore radio stations announced it. If I had been using a weather routing agent at hundreds of Euros a day maybe I could have had the warning. But this rare 'Derecho' formed at 0500 in the Balearic Spanish islands, hundreds of miles away. Hundreds of yachts and thousands of people were caught out. Thankfully and amazingly these conditions claimed few, if possibly no direct lives, as far as I am aware.
I have been through large and ferocious squalls all over the world, but they have been brief and with minimal sea state.
The seas on this instance, were breaking over the bow of our 36m yacht and it was unsafe to even get to the bow, let alone try and raise the anchor! Crazy crazy conditions@@stephenburnage7687
@@ruf930porsche Windy and Predict Wind are free apps to run in your smart phone (although both also have a premium service. They take all the available weather models (ECMW; PWG; PWE etc) and give you an hour by hour, day by day visual graphic of any condition you select ie wind speed & gusts, wave height, swell, electrical tension etc. All the cruisers rely on one or the other ie no need to rely on a radio report. Having said that, it doesnt mean they can forecast with 100% accuracy but they are indispensable for sailors, everywhere.
Never in my life did I ever ever tie up in a pack. I like my boat better when it's not getting beat to shit.
Oh my word, I hope everyone is safe! It sucks that all those boats were damaged!
The ships that are NOT here, are the ones you need to be worried about. This is just damage. Most important is, did these hulls stay clear from everything? A damaged hull is often hard to repair. When a keel hits a rock, you do not want any hidden damage, for the thousands pounds of keel might fall off, one day. It has happened before. THAT is the real concern here.
Thoughts and prayers, bro. Thoughts and prayers.
@thebeautyofsailing, all your shorts would benefit a lot if you'd add place and time. Inquiring minds often like to investigate further. In this case, Girolata, Corsica, 2022.
Interesting, I had wondered.
If I don't know the place and time, I'm aggravated.
is it really Girolata? Where was the wind coming from?
this was the morning after a bad storm that hit the west coast of Corsica on the early hours of the 18th of August 2022. here in the small harbor of Girolata.
thanks for the location! so beautiful!
I don't have these problems since I certainly can't afford a sailboat.
Nonsense. Anyone can afford a sailboat, and the good news is the strongest and least fazed by conditions like this are older, and often very affordable.
I got caught for 3 days in 50 to 80knot storm last year just after making Tauranga harbour after a 400nM first Voyage in a 45ft 13 ton Hartley South Seas ketch purchased for US$~700.
It is a large and exposed harbour with over 10km fetch for waves, but very shallow, and fortunately devoid of hard rocks.
She beached comfortably some 7 times through this, always high side to the weather, and waves ramped up the full length keel shooting half mast height back the way they came.
Without noise or vibration, or pounding when settling.
No damage to any part was experienced.
These plastic fantastics damaged in this video are fairweather richpersons show off toys, not true blue water hurricane rated cruising yachts, that make excellent homes for those of us that have more sense than dollars.
You can afford a sailboat. You just don't want to. My first home was a sailboat when I was 18 and dirt poor.
@@squidvisyou were rich enough to own a boat at 18. I definitely don't. I had a bed at my parents' house.
@@Maungateiteino boats are hurricane rated !
His point, I believe, is that sailboats can be far less expensive than people often think. Some are ridiculously expensive as well, so there is that…
If you’re not afraid of a lot of work, you can find boats for practically free after events like these. Just follow the hurricanes… 😅
The boat this is filmed from is a CNB 60, so those wheels are carbon fibre and Not the cheap kind. Whatever has happened here (Corsica 2022?) is an extreme weather event of some description, with little to no warning, that has turned a pleasant afternoon anchorage into the mess you see here. I hope no one was injured.
Would not want to be standing too close to that helm when that rudder takes a turn! Thats a Christmas nutcracker.
Why on earth would the camera boat at least not have his wheel/rudder locked?
Solaris 50
I'm guessing lots of boats anchored in a small area with little scope out so they don't drift into each other suddenly hit be a squall and everyone dragged..... looks horrendous.
Holy s**t!! That’s a nightmare scene.
Was it a mega Mistral that hit, or something?
Anyone injured?
So I’m confused. I live in a bay with swing moorings and the mooring ropes and distances are spaced so each mooring has a 360 degree swing clearance from any other mooring - unless they snap their line they physically can’t reach another boat’s mooring circle. Storms here may tear a boat OFF its mooring, thus crashing through the other boats on its way to the beach, but there’s no way for a bunch of moored boats to end up in each others’s swing zone like this. Are these temporary boats on temporary moorings set up seeking shelter? Or are these permanent swing moorings that are spaced in a way that allows for boat collisions?
@@homie3461 I suppose charter boats or others just running from a storm and hooking up to share someone else’s swing mooring?? - but I’d be pretty annoyed if someone tied off on my mooring and my boat was all dinged up because they didn’t understand (or care) how a swing mooring and clearances works.
We own Sunset Moorings here in Busuanga Palawan Philippines, we experience a Storm 40-50knots, we put our boat in the morning to try if its strong enough, but we dont let other close to us so we have a full swing. And if we are somewhere We stay away from everyone incase one broke out from the mooring can't destroy other boats.
I . N . T . E . R . P . U . N . C . T . I . O . N ?
Wow thats bad. Why didn't tie down the steering wheel, would at least keep rudder straight, cause under that pressure will end up snapping for sure
Like the guy using his inflatable for a big fender !
Looks like his boat survived probably because he was on board.
Probably true.
No one really tie up the boat for storms.
But we really should always do…
Would have been safer at sea.
No one proubly using a big 55lb mantis M1 anchor. Sailboats tent to use under size anchors ? I always see like maybe a 35lb anchor
What's your reasoning?
@@firstlast1047no land or other boats to hit, put your bow into the swells and ride it out while everyone else gets beat to pieces lol
That guy standing by the helm, he's going to let that steering linkage get all beat to hell and back?
That's horrible. The way that guy looks is crazy. He is totally zoned out.
I can’t imagine a wind strength that would dismast a boat like that, and the inflatable as a fender is a indicator
It probably happened when mast got entangled to another boat.
No they can take it. Skinny.
Yes l to saw that so l looked this place up ,sir it has a history of this alot . I hate to say it but fools. Now it's many good boat's to the scraper.
Mister it happens all the time and for many reasons.
That’s CONSIDERABLY more than challenging!
That’s why it’s best to head out to open sea during a storm, but I wouldn’t know I’ve never sailed b4 🤷🏻
well, if youre at anchor in a safe port then no....but if your out there, its better to stay out there then risk trying to get to an achorage.
The winds, waves and currents will smash you to bits in very short order....and if you try to swim for shore, the under tow will get you and......its just hopeless anyway you look at it....best stay out, heave too, batten down, ride it out .
At least that pilot looks like it’s still working😂
I think there is more to this story than just some wind
Cool castle on the hill.
You would not want to get your arm caught in that ‘spinning’ wheel.
Now we know why our insurance rates are so high. Yeh Moore within feet of tons of boats. What could possibly go wrong?
It appears these boats are piled up in the shallows after dragging anchor through the squall. So they didn't raft up intentionally and they're lucky to not be driven up onto the beach/rocks
It'd be interesting to know how many boats had well oversized modern design anchors, compared to the bog standard pissy little things that come with the boat as standard....🤔
Most of these yachts were on mooring bouys within the harbour. No anchors would have held (and didn't) with the 50-70knot winds and 2m swells which arrived in minutes and without warning/forecast.
Hey Riley, Brian, or Brett, Dan.. what did they do wrong here?
And this is why I’ll never sail my boat in the med
Sailing... hours of boredom followed by minutes of sheer terror.
Probably what happens when you stick a load of boats together with no space
Bei einem Sturm ist man auf See sicherer als in so einem ungeschützten Hafen.
Mate of mine and a few friends sailed south from Tasmania and moored in Commonwealth Bay. Tied of at three points to very large boulders on the shore. It then blew up a bit, as it does down there and the anemometer was pegged at 100 knots for 48 hours. With bare rigging the windage had his boat flat in the water, first one side, then the other as the wind drove the bow off and broadsided his boat. Told me that if you poked your head up out of the companionway the water was covered in a metre of foam. Now that's what you call a windy mooring.
a bit more context would be great
I have quite a few black marks on our boat where the wind blew us into the dock as we were coming in to tie-up!
Safest place is at sea ‼️⚓
Can't say it enough! But I have an old Morgan 45cc so....
Genuinely, i get it, these situation sucks... but it's the horrible training that leads to the destruction of moorings and boats. Dragged anchor, boat with emergency boat launched, tangled chains... etc etc... . so much has happened before the video… And you are seeing people doing very little, even this guy filming a major collision take place whilst on board.... Engine on, cut lines, move out to sea.. Take the roughage, but avoid the collisions and this other shit... absolutely nuts!
This video alone is enough to make me forget about the idea of sailing
Sailor talk:
It's a storm = squal
It's a front = squal
It's windy = squal
Its really rainy = squal
There's lightning = squal
There's a big swell = squal
A band of thunderstorms = true meaning of squal.
I thought the idea of having a boat was to escape the crowd.
Safety in numbers is a human instinct. Sailors don’t know that this instinct is dangerous while at sea. Always arrange away of others so you can easily escape any situation.
Pesadelo de qualquer velejador
That wheel is scary do you ever get grabbed or caught by it?
Is that a missing section in the wheel or is that by design?? THAT looks really dangerous to me.
We're about to get hit by Hurricane Nicole in FL but I was lucky enough to get hauled out just before the first hurricane band hit us.
That boat is still grinding on the bottom.
Guess that guy has insurance as he's doing nothing to prevent further damage.
It's another boat smacking it from port side, see the grey dingy, that's attached to a sailboat hitting the one the camera person is on
100 knots measured during 2022 storm in Corsica.
Read an article by a person sailing during that event.
Anchors dragging?
Why was everyone so close. They couldent have spread out more?
Wouldnt it be best to move out to sea?
Yes. Absolutely.
Looks like a whole lot of anchors drug. That was one heavy wind.
Depends, got the HP and the balls to ride it out? "Where does the love of god go when the waves turn the minutes into hours?"
Heave to.
Batten the hatches.
Go out in the open ocean.
Watch CZcams and try not to get sea sick.
what happened to those boats in the background and the wheel?
Was in France this summer, ther was a huge tempest
This looks very relaxing.
Yes especially when you are that unnecessarily close
Tempête en corse Août 2022. J'ai reconnu la barre cassée de ce bateau, ils se sont pris le mât d'un 46 pieds que je connaissais bien...
Pensées à tous ceux qui ont vécu ce cauchemar.
Obviously we now know those cool looking carbon fiber wheels aren't worth a shit.
OH GESÙ BELLO... 25 anni di skipper in charter per mezzo Mediterraneo. AI VISTO UNA SIMILE CATASTROFE!!! Dove è accaduto?
Yeah the weather is wild ATM here in QLD not sure where this is, their moorings are way too close...sad times ❤
that orange boat is sick
At first I was only paying attention to the foreground.
Then I realized the real story is all the background.
Broken masts, and boats washed ashore 😮
That looks like a insurance underwriter’s worst nightmare…
This weather will be the new normal around the world and only getting worse, I got off the sea 2 years ago...
It's knot only the winds that are blown, but the surge an undertoe, that are also going😅
Gives slipping the moorings and anchor drag another level of reckoning.
This is not just a lot of wind this is after a big storm there are broken mast and main sails
Woah!! Looks like some serious chaos and mayhem went down in that harbor!
post hurricane, has to be
I think France actually. Huge storm hit. Not hurricane, but bigger than usual, and they don't all secure boats like we do because they don't have our kind of storms. Even if only a few people don't tie down properly, those loose boats cause havoc.
Only America has hurricanes.
@@teeanahera8949 tell that to South East Asia.
I didn't know where this video was taken, just post major storm i guess.
@@OllieW501 it's kind of an odd distinction, in SE Asia it's called a Typhoon. But it's literally the same type of storm.
@@teeanahera8949 Typhoons and Hurricanes are the same thing. Both cause damage all around the world, mostly near the equator or wherever there's warm water and light wind shear. Earlier this year, a Cat 5 Typhoon hit the Philippines.
Seaman is an exercise in making choices. These people chose to think that the weather won’t change. There’s no excuse for mooring too close. It reminds me of a derecho I witnessed in Georgetown. A whole lot of fiberglass boats cracking like eggs. You have to expect the best but plan for the worst.
Gusts up to 90-110knots. Predicted only in one of several weather models. Unfortunately, there will be more to come of this.
why not get away from the other boats and just deal with the weather if one had the option?
Make arrangements so you can cut your anchor line very fast so you can escape to sea.
😮insurance company is gonna have a very bad day
It looks like a few of those boats are out of the race permanently.
wow, what a great castle in the hill there far
tie up the rudder and get out the there.....
This is why you avoid what I call "the field of grinders"
А вот было бы кранцев побольше такого бы на случилось! Вывод: Не экономьте на кранцах!
Holy F! That's soo soo bad! I see $10M in damages and losses in just that lil snippit That boat he's on is around $1.3m not including all the yachts on the rocks
what a beautiful location.
Ow shit what happened to the wheel?
That's more than just a lot of wind.
Very deep waters just outside the Girolata bay. No chance of anchoring outside far away from other boats. Leewall certainly deadly for Crew in that region.
Looks like the aftermath of a major wind event
So sad to see those boats so damaged 😢😢
Im so sad all those ritch folks were to busy partying on land to come take care of there vessels 😂
The small fisher boat in wood which never move from his place (look straight under the fortress) is still there in good state ! 😅 It’s was a wind to kick off tourist boats.
All this new boats sucks, the older ones behind have almost no damage.
Mooring? Seems to me the aftermath of a storm!
Holy shit... that is one hell of a fuck up....
probably the best thing would have been to go out to the open sea to ride out the storm
Shoot, hope everybody is safe. Breaks my heart they are my dreamboats all in pieces.😢
Best to go out to sea and put out a para-anchor.
Belle mie barche! Cosa é successo
Run aground?
la girolata ?
Ask my friends in Acapulco after Hurricane Otis destroyed every fucking boat there. Horrible situation.
What in the hell kind of mooring field is THAT? They are all on top of each other. You can get dismasted by getting tangled in another boats rigging. And why aren't the helms secured. You can destroy the steering gear.
Damn, that storm tore some boats up, I am not loading anywhere near ithers
Wow! What a party🤑
Seems a tornado or large water spout passed too.
@the beauty of sailing You should give credit to where you stole this footage from and give us a timeline an context or your just trying to get click and don’t care about sailing😡
Yikes!!! The 3/4 wheel
Corse this summer
