Rag Sailors hate no-wind days combined with confused seas. I had a crew who would look like a cat in water when the wind died! It drove him crazy. Oh, and you may have noticed this Powerboater chose to turn off his air conditioning! Rag Sailors live in their foul weather gear. Kinda think one group just may be smarter than the other!!! Be well.

@@kevinlynch6799 I heah buddy. Occasionally we’d fall into a wind hole in a race and beah consumption would increase exponentially. Once, two of the crew wouldn’t give up and tried every tweak to stay in the race. The Capt. (me) became so frustrated, that he went below and began belting back gin & tonics. It was the right decision as the race committee abandoned the race a half hour later for lack of wind. It was a good thing that we could then start the “iron sails” and head for home cause the gin supply was running low. Sail on my friend!

@@scomo532 That’s Funny. Excellent. I kinda like no-wind times when racing as that is where we “can make money” versus the competition. In “Boat Delivery” mode however, Iron Jenny or sails, I don’t care but Point A to Point B in the shortest time possible is my primary focus. Staying dry and comfortable would be nice sometimes however. Enjoy and stay healthy.

Great video. You did not bring up bow and stern thrusters when discussing Bravo's handling in tight quarters. Did the boat have them?

@From100to26

7 ай бұрын

Hey John! Excellent question and I apologize for not including that in the video. Bravo only had a hydraulic Bow Thruster. It would be rather problematic installing a stern thruster due to the system we had on board which was hydraulic based and the configuration of the wire/hose runs. An electric thruster would simply not move the mass. That said there are someone Lithium Ion powered thrusters that have the horsepower to make a difference, however at the time they were not available. Thank you for watching and we have a new video dropping just about every Thursday!

Hey David! Thanks for watching and great questions. Bravo was originally built by Stephens out of California. They actually went out of business because they refused to cut corners or build a vessel out of Fiberglass. The boat was totally gutted in 1997 by the famed boatyard McMullen & Wing. Engines are 1150 HP MTU, beam is 19 feet. I would recommend watching episode 1 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lpucq7qim9vRgtI.html) as we go into more depth about the history of Bravo!!

In a 100 foot yacht 3-5 is not rough . Looked at that boat before the restoration. Good bones .

Yup that's why power boats make no sense for me , 100 footer isn't really safe in a sea that on a sailboat you would be thinking Wow we are finally going to get some miles in , and then there is the what 25,000 for fuel you used in this video , i'm guessing but don't think that's off either way enough to make a sailboat feel bad about not spending it , o well thx for the video nice to see how the other half lives 🙂

To each their own... to get a sailboat that has the living space that Bravo would be a challenge, but I totally understand the idea of a sailboats and that lifestyle! Bravo was extremely fuel efficient, about .8 nm/gallon, so in this trip we only used about 950 gallons of diesel which is really not bad for a vessel that weight 220,000 lbs. Thanks again for watching and the support, it is much appreciated! Have a great new year!

Your onboard a 100 foot yacht. How can it be uncomfortable? Also, I do not understand the logic of going into shallower water. This generally makes conditions much more hazardous. Why don't prefer more of a rolling wave versus short crested crashing wave?

@From100to26

Thank you for watching and the supporting the channel! Good question! Ever been on a cruise ship and felt the boat rolling, maybe it was a bit hard to walk, that ship is 1000 feet long and 100 feet wide, Bravo was 100 feet long and 19 feet wide. Unfortunately physics is physics, in some of the conditions we experienced in this trip, in order for me to get to the bridge, I has to crawl on the floor as it was just too hard to walk, although the camera never does a great job of picking that up. Reference why we go shallower, it is taking the energy out of the waves, when you are in bigger vessels that is what you want, since we have stabilizers, they take a lot of the movement out of choppy seas, rather than the energy out of large short period swells. I hope that answers your questions!

I don’t feel so bad. My boat is only 3 feet shorter. No not 97 feet, 23 feet.

Well we considered 10-15 footers massive for us.. but I guess it depends on what type of a boat you are on … a cruise ship.. well 10-15 footers is not that big of a deal. When I am crawling to the bridge from my stateroom, we usually don’t want to be in anything larger than that…. We do our best to run in smoother seas. Also when you are 26 feet of the water line things look different as well as explained in Captain Gee Wiz! Thanks again for your comments and watching the videos.

@@From100to26 Right, what I meant was how comical the word massive is in conjunction with your explanation of why it doesn't look massive. Probably because it's not that massive. I'm going to venture a massive guess that we've all been boating for the same amount of time on varying boats. I think you've got a working show with great production value and content for the foreseeable future. Heavy seas can make sleepless nights but if the camera isn't able to articulate it then you're just writing a novel? Overall, the explanation comes off a bit condescending to what a majority here understand, just guessing.

​@@jdm1152 The reality of videos capturing bigs wave is what it is, however our content was not about the waves as a focus, rather navigation and running larger vessels offshore and the situations you have to deal with, sea sickness and massive waves. And descriptive terms.. massive... are totally subjective. For example if you are in a 20 foot boat, 2-3 foot waves are massive... in a 100 foot boat I can tell you from experience, 10-15 foot seas with short periods are massive for a pleasure vessel. Again, massive is a descriptor that is determined by the person there. During this trip we had 2 USCG watch keepers on board that were taking their time away from their important jobs to gain tonnage time, and they all said this was some of the largest seas they have run in.
