Having originally followed that event..so happy to see this follow up and such a great attitude. Life is in the present and ones perception of it. Sad loss with a wonderful message to all. Now keep that doggie fed and happy. 🤗
Much respect and love to you all. ❤
He’s such a positive guy. Have a great new year. 🤙
As A Spaniard from that part of Spain I'm embarrassed by what that "salvage" crew did. Maybe they had given-up at that point, but I'm sure there were ways to get that boat off the beach without destroying it in the process. I'm a commercial fisherman on the BC coast of Canada, with 30 years experience. As a boater it's disgusting that 20 boaters stood by and watched a boat drift onto the beach and no one helped.
Plenty of fish (sailboats) in the Sea! Awesome follow up Sailing Zephyr to show that Kenny is indeed a stoic CanDoer....: )
Cheers for the kind words. He is a proper legend for sure. Cheers for watching.🤙
Great follow up. When people ask about the dangers of sailing, especially mothers, they always ask about storms at sea. This story is a great lesson is that the most dangerous part of sailing when you are close to land. Glad to see that things are working out for Sea Dogs and he hasn't given up on a life at sea. I have been looking at new anchors and I am definitely going up one size. And my snubber design is going to get a double look. Happy New Year!!
Well said Tim. We strongly believe in oversize ground tackle. We upped our anchor to a 60lbs Manson Supreme, oversized shackles and the largest chain our windlass could handle. And we upgraded our snubber to include a bridal from Mantus. Love to hear more about your snubber design. Have a great 2022. 🤙
Thanks for the update! I have wondered how this turned out. I am glad he is doing well and plans to return to sailing!!!
Wow what a positive attitude!
Totally agree. To lose everything and still be so positive is incredible. 👍
Good job guys. Thanks for the update. Good to see things worked out.
Kenny your a champ. And you landed on your feet and then some. You may be in a much better position now than had you kept on cruising in light of everything happening now. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Hope you are growing food. We all make mistakes. Important to learn from them. Cheers
Very well said. He's been so positive through the whole thing. Cheers for watching. 👍
That broke my heart. Still follow Kenny on Instagram. Enjoy his posts even today. Wishing him all the best.
It was a difficult event for sure. But he is such a positive person.
I remember that. Wow, when you guys found his boat. I could have fell off my chair in shock. That definitely opened up my eyes before leaving your boat. Double check everything before leaving your boat. Great recap.
Well said Richard. Double and triple check before we always leave. Happy New Year👍
Thank you both for producing this video and thank you Kenny for sharing your story, you've definitely got what it takes to survive this world mate.
Thanks for watching Ian. He’s such a positive guy and he remained so through everything. Happy new year. 🤙
Thanks for posting this I think Kenny has a great attitude I wish him all the best happy sailing ⛵
He’s a proper legend and such a positive guy. 🤙
Exhaustion is generally the main culprit in many of these disaster. She was a beautiful boat. Best of luck with your next adventure. 👍👍
Cheers Clay. Appreciate you watching. 🤙
Great video. Adversity always gives a person a measure of themselves... This man will have a life of adventure.. Sometimes the adventure will test us... Wouldn't have it any other way... I truly believe, that is where great wisdom comes from...
Wise words and cheers for watching. Happy new year. 🤙
Kenny is a rock star .... what a positive can do attitude!
Wow, from BC Canada 🇨🇦 inspirational
Yewww. Thanks for watching.
A great story of resilience from Kenny. So glad he found the inner strength to recover and move on. Sailing life is one mistake away from potential disaster at any time, but still worth it!
Well said catoodle. Have a great new year.
Man hard lesson and I’m not saying I’m better. I’m glad your safe and your staying positive!!! Happy New Year 👍👍
Happy new year to you to. 🤙
Go Sea Dogs II ! Life is the journey! Great spirit!
Nice positive guy living life on his own terms.
I wish him the best.
Hey Guys! Thanks for watching the Recap, hope this answered all those questions that you may have had! It was so good catching up with Kenny and Mika and so glad for all the great things heading their way. If you want to see the full video of when Sea Dogs sank a couple of years back click on this link....czcams.com/video/_vdaxrGfT1M/video.html
Indeed a very sad situation... all for the want of rigging a snubber. It was mentioned that the whole amount of anchor chain ran out of the chain locker which then broke the 'bitter end' of the chain resulting in it all on the bottom. However, in the recovery video, there is chain going up to the bow? Had that been previously recovered?
Just bee posetf no regrets chin up God bless you I hope you're well and please get your self sea dog ll regards Ben sah
Good episode, but, for my own education, I wish you had gone into more detail about how forgetting the snubber caused the accident. Did he leave it on a windlass and the gypsy let go? Did he wrap the chain around a cleat and the cleat ripped off because there was no spring that a snubber would have provided? Maybe you already went into the details about this, but I don't remember it from the the grounding episode.
well done - who hasn't been dead tired and made a mistake - hope he gets to live the dream again
Well said Jim. Happy New Year.👍
Exactly. We all screw up, and most of the time we get away with it. But once in a while one of us pays a heavy price. There but for the grace of God... Thank goodness he is OK and only lost his boat, although it was also his home. In the end it's only "stuff". Kenny is a great example for the rest of us of how to get beyond such a loss, and go on making a good life. Thanks a lot for sharing this story!
i don't understand, if he forgot the snubber (shit happens, im sorry for him) the chain load went to the winch and the winch got detached from the deck? if that is the case in 13:37 you can see the winch there in place. Something from his explanation is missing, the problem was somewhere else, the snubber alone can not be the reason. Btw - in Spain is completely ilegal not to have at least third party insurance (7:21) on a registered sailboat sailing Spanish waters...is a miracle he is not in jail or paying damages out of his pocket.
Total destruction and disposal was not even a thought when I saw the beginning of the VLOG, that had to be devastating! Not sure that I could be able to maintain his composure during the interview/Update!!
He’s such a positive guy. Not sure we could have remained as possible as him. 🤙
Glad for a part 2, to answer the question: How can one avoid having this happen?
Good to see he has overcome this… it was tough to watch that video!
Could someone explain what happened. I understand that the snubber goes from the anchor chain to a deck cleat? No snubber, so did the chain just run out, or was their some issue / problem with the windlass?
Sure was. But he is a true legend and a humble guy. He'll bounce back for sure.
keep up the vids. Very informative. Happy New Year😁
Cheers Timothy. Have a great 2022. 🤙
Wow... Happy New Year Guys
Happy new years
Crazy things happen. One night while asleep my anchore started to pull itself up. It was a very confusing moment. From deep sleep to whos on my boat.
Long story short the remote at the helm shorted out and that was what it did. Pulled the anchore up. Immagine had i been ashore. I was in remote indonesia
I dont have a remote anymore.
Oh wow. That would scare the S#%T out of anyone. Including me!!! Interesting story…we had something similar happen where the remote shorted whilst under passage and it started paying out all the chain. Luckily we noticed quickly and we also had the safety line attached to the anchor.
Cheers for watching. Happy New Years.
I wonder how bad the seas were the first day of the grounding. Monohulls would be more difficult rescue, but catamarans would be easier with my theory. The boilermakers construct a large tank with a 70ton top inside laying on the bottom. They take 3 fans, or blowers, and lift the top 50 to 60 feet in the air, and weld the top to the sides like a blow up dome. 3 or 4 airbags the length of a cat's bridge deck would lift a boat providing the bags were 6feet diameter. A leaf blower would probably work. Check with a fire department. because they are trained to do this.
Thanks for sharing your story. But was the chain not mounted to the boat?
It broke free from the safety line in the locker. We managed to recover the anchor and chain and reattach.
I'm puzzled -you say the chain ran out but the chain is still on the bow roller at 8:58 and you can see the chain out at the start of the vid 0:40? Then later the anchor is back on the fairlead? It looks more like she dragged... The salvage would have been very tricky with the way she was lying as she really needed too be heeled toward the beach before pulling to bow towards the sea. That said, still, a very sad loss and a strong warning about leaving a boat at anchor on a lee shore with no-one to keep and eye on her.
It was a missed bit of info I should have covered in the video. But we managed to recover the anchor and chain and reattach whilst it was on the reef. Then the first rescue crew tried using it in various ways.
Lack of details on what failed. It's fairly common not to use a snubber, so did the winch brake fail, or did it come loose from it's mounting, was the bitter end fixed etc ? Personally I normally use a snubber but back when I first started I did not bother, and I see many boats no bothering. So by itself no snubber is not the only failure. By coincidence when we were in Alienate a Cat came in for repair after it's winch had been ripped from the mountings as they did not bother deploying their harness, fortunately the chain was fixed on with rope so they did not drift off.
Have you watched the first video on the incident? We cover a lot of what your asking about. But short answer, no snubber, big 2 ft ferry waves and the clutch wasn’t tight enough on the gypsy. Waves worked it lose and spilled all the chain, snapped the safety line in the chain locker, 20 boats either side of him didn’t assist a drifting sailboat and it dragged onto the reef.
@@SailingZephyr 20 boats on either side of him didn't assist a drifting sailboat. That in and of itself really annoys me. If they weren't willing to assist, the least they could do is, alert the authorities to help. Aiding a sailor in need is a cardinal rule. Humanity failed.😞
@@nooneanybodyknows1321 - It was one of the most frustrating parts of what happened. I spoke with a few boat owners either side of where Kenny was anchored and the overall unashamed message was that if it's not their boat, it's not their problem.
@@SailingZephyr I had watched it, did not remember this had been explained (old age). Thanks.
@@SailingZephyr Karma is bitch. I would hate to be them. Someday this is going to come back around to them. Thanks for airing this. Happy New Year 🥂
You didn't really explain why it sank. Did the wave action damage his stem fitting? He had 7 - 1 scope out, would a snubber really have prevented this? More details please.
Watch episode 28. It’s the one that covers the incident. Cheers 🤙
This is painful to watch. My heart goes out to you. I know that doesn't help. Truly, sorry for your loss. In the photos, there are hundreds of items salvageable above the waterline. Was an attempt made to remove these possessions?
Some possessions were recovered but most were lost. Cheers for watching. 👍
@@SailingZephyr No insurance ?? Would you drive a car without ???? Sorry but you amateurs make me sick This guy should have stayed at home
Where in Spain the boat was Sinked? I did lost my 57" Bruce Robert In Canary Island in 2019 to
Formentera, baleric islands! Sorry to hear about you losing your boat! 😓
If it weren't for Kenny's positve attitude this would be a depressing episode. Thanks! I see there is hope.
He is such a positive and wicked nice guy. Cheers for watching and Happy New Year.👍
Can't remember if I asked, have you guys checked out and listened to some beck? 😆 Have a great new chapter u2? 🤘😍
Ahhh not yet. Cheers for reminding us. Happy new year! 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Yewwww 🤙
As an non sailor how would a snubbed have saved the yacht?
So sad for him!
Appreciate you watching. 🤙
Hey dood are you pluckys brother or just the same barber
Hahaha. Best comment of the year I think. 🤙
I feel so bad, how can I help..
I really wish all boat owners had insurance! & if they can't afford insurance downsize the boat until they can. Nothing worse than losing an uninsured boat or get your boat damaged by another boat thats not insured. No different to driving a car without insurance as many would say its criminal.
It's such a difficult area as insurance companies are making it more and more difficult for sailors who travel around the world.
It is my understanding in the USA, you are typically automatically disqualified from Sailboat Insurance for any one of these issues much less all of them together. No recent and thorough Survey showing the boat in excellent condition, Boat older than 20 yrs, no Captains License/Certificate and little documented sailing experience, being a Solo sailor, Crossing Oceans or Circumnavigation. If you look long and hard enough you can probably insure anything but the price will be unaffordable if all the criteria above are in play. If you are not wealthy and your are a solo sailor with little experience but have a Capitan's Lic. you'll have to buy something you can afford to lose meaning (for me, and some of you) ending up with a "all-in" $50K vessel, 20+ years old that has 20+ yr. old rigging and sails, electronics package, wiring, motor, water and gas tanks etc... Make all those upgrades plus the misc. stuff and you are now all in somewhere between $80K and $100K to have a small, safe, comfortable and reliable boat and still no insurance and now a potential $100K loss that severely damages your financial health if retired with no future earnings potential. For me the solo status has always been the biggest obstacle followed closely by the financial risk if unable to get affordable insurance. A solo sailor as evidenced in this video is an exhausted sailor which is no fun and leads to mistakes that can sink your boat and maybe take your life. Any solo, full day or overnight passage has to be exhausting and stressful knowing everything is on the line if you have miscalculated or just get unlucky. I'm glad this guy has a decade to recover financially and try again. Sailing Zephyr, if you read this, perhaps an episode on this particular topic is in order (getting insurance in general) and again with all the variables I listed.
What has a snubber got to do with it ????????? That was not the cause of this or anything ! Been at sea for 50 years and never ever used one !
Had a snubber been used, the tension and loads being applied to the chain from the ferry waves would have been on the cleat the snubber attaches too. However, these forces were all directed at the windlass, the clutch knob loosened and failed, pouring all the chain overboard. I would definitely recommend a snubber. It provides a secondary protection point, takes away shock loads being applied to your windlass, and also provides stretch which reduces stress on other components such as your bow roller. Your cleats are far stronger and designed to absorb high loads. You would never tow a boat into port via its windlass...always by the cleats. It's far cheaper to replace a $50 snubber than a $2000 windlass and I'm sure you'll agree allows for a more relaxing sleep at anchor when you know you have a secondary level of protection.
Always wondered what happened. 😔
Cheer for watching.
What does a snubber do
It’s a line that you attach from a fixed point on the boat to the chain to take the weight and pressure off the windlass.
Everything of value that the owner stripped off his boat to sell was stolen? What is the story there?
Remember the original on this ! so sad to see :(
It was a tragic day for sure. Kenny is a legend.
No insurance?
Unfortunately not. You'd be surprised how many sailboats are out there without insurance.
lu tomson - even if you want and are willing to buy insurance, for the newer (low experience), budget, solo, blue water sailor it typically is not available at any cost. See my more detailed comment above under Sailing Citrine Sunset comment.
@@timhardman4764 ahh so no insurance..got it..explains a lot...I always have insurance and have walked away from vessels vehicles homes that were uninsurable..not worth the risk good luck
@@timhardman4764 So why do you venture out with no insurance? cheap bargains vessels always have their price and if you bought knowing you were not covered? shame on you all on you and why the commodification?
Heartbreaking to lose any boat but, to have to destroy it yourself?
So sad
It doesnt matter how new your boat is or how much you spend on professionals..
Boats, cars and aircraft fail see the Bearfoot doctors experience where their Leopard cat went up in flames and burnt up another whilst tied up at a warf in a marina .
The Insurance companies are notorious for their evasiveness when it comes to paying out and acts of nature ..
There are millions of local fishermen, native people and local traders who rely on boats for their lives and food.
They have no insurance or protection an no options.
It's Ironic the whole insurance business was largely founded on the work of Lloyds of London .. and the Maritime trade.
The time has come perhapse for a affordable third party.. guarentee form of insurance for light vessels that are live aboards.
Simple fact is beyond territorial waters it remains the open sea... all laws and customs subject to its constant ever changing nature.
Salvaging grounded vessels would be a great deal easier and more successful if air lift bag jacks and inflatable rollers were more widely available.
Price was the highest
in the world ?? Oh please the USA is the biggest rip off when it comes to repairs !
He was more referring to how expensive the boat yard was and because of the difficulty in getting qualified people to work there as it's only a small island out of the way...it's crazy expensive. And all in really pricy Euros. But totally agree, there is some very expensive places in the US.
Just sad all around.
very badly produced video. hard to watch. still don't understand the timeline. stick to your day jobs
get a day job
Appreciate the feedback Ed. Apologies you didn’t enjoy the episode. If you watch our earlier episode 28, it covers the original incident. Cheerd
What no anchor drag app on his phone? The boat could of sent him a message to say, Come save my dragging ass! It's sad to see a nice boat killed like that..
No insurance?
No insurance.
