Think the Skipper helming so well in those conditions probably deserved a bit more coverage! But still, great video. Well made and a bit different.

Yes I think you’re right, just didn’t know if he wanted to be in it till I asked him after! But yes he did an amazing job

Love this, sailors are like no other. We're all maniacs 😂

The smile when you said it would be an awesome experience.

That was an excellent video, I felt like I was there😅 you were also MVP on that crew

The greatest danger is probably getting hit by something hard..boom, jib clew etc. Crash helmets should be worn / obligatory in those conditions. You had a big crew…almost too crowded?

It was very random in watching his video to see Jaffa on the helm. Had the pleasure of working with him 15 or so years ago. Thank you for the video. We got to cowes and then were cancelled in the multihull category.

Well done mate, I did my competent crew in similar conditions which was an interesting (fun) first experience of sailing.

Your editing has gotten super good (gotten? got? my English is rubbish) You know it's going to get real when the Skipper looks nervy. What a ride! Thanks for this movie man. Can't wait until the end of July when I'll be in those waters. If I see you I'll say hi like I said before. I am going to find some money from my college Ramen account to buy you a coffee ! that was epic

Good job, sailor. Greetings from the Baltic Sea. It's also windy sometimes, although the wave is shorter.

I raced many seasons in a Sigma 38 when they first came out, mostly offshore. Good solid boats. Good job.

Awesome! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

This is so well-filmed and edited. I also got several things from it: 1) Did you maybe have too many guys on board? 2) Don't leave winch handles in the coffee grinders. 3) Did anyone peuk? 4) The start was a disaster perhaps because you hadn't checked the forecast detail - which is why you hit the line well under-canvassed. modern forecast detail tells us when and where it will be windy, and the day's headline max-wind figure is maybe not the important one. 5) Was this filmed on a GoPro camera? Or how? Brilliant work, anyway, and your best video so far. .

Have to agree with Pirrie. No need for a crew that size. More likely to get in each others way than is good for efficiency.

@@nestorandhisboat haha, i guess those old seadogs enjoyed having a nice young man on board, and obviousely, you were not there to provide for the 5 o'clock tea. In a side note, interesting how inappropriate some of the shoewear was, especially in case of man over board which luckily did not occur despite the weather conditions and the unsecure crawling over the boat, due to so many people occupying space on deck. What an adventure though!!!

That didn't look like fun to me! What a ride...Glad you made it around. I'd have turned around long ago. I prefer mild 10-15kts.

Well young man that was some race. You all seemed to enjoy it especially you. I look forward to other vids. I bet your dad was glad when you came home safe.

Reminds me of the 2001 Fastnet I did on a Sigma 38. Leaving the Solent in +30kts with three reefs and the No4. Great sailing!

Great vid! Yet we all wanna see your replies to your dads texts 😂

That was interesting to watch though a bit more info wouldn't have gone amiss. Boatspeed? , who were you all?where did you end in the comp ? , etc etc , you know what I mean. Thanks

Exciting stuff! Looks so much fun. Good test of waterproofs and stomach. I thought the change of headsail a bit crazy, it was definitely too big going up wind, you could see the main flapping continuously. (Main needs another reefing point). But downwind you perhaps needed more, so overall the skipper got it right. Those older design racing yachts are too good down wind, it would have been so much more fun on a modern, wide stern yacht (or even better a multihull) Great footage and commentary. (ps, was it really force9? An 8 is 39-46 knots. Beaufort scale is the average wind speed. And 3m seas? - the most accurate way to assess wave height is to ask someone and divide by three, though it was more than 1m.)

what about that boat at 19:22 min.? Broken mast?🤔 Why isn`t everybody wearing any safety harness and being clipped into some safety ropes? I would think that to be mandatory, but of course I am no expert!

One question from land crab. How do you know how much wind/power the rig can tolerate? It seams to me that one boat got de-masted. I notice that the mainsails were - what do you call it? - reefed. Thanks for sharing.

Très très mal filmé !

Typical young male - able to recite potential dangers and possibly even capable of understanding them, but fundamentally stuck in the mindset that he's the hero of his story, and heroes *always* survive. He got through this hairy experience and with some good adrenaline buzzes, so that will only reinforce his gut feeling that he's fricking immortal.
