A majority of a sailing boats there are actually a rent ones (1/3 of the world sailing fleet is placed in that area), which make those tasks for a part time captains even harder a lot of them overestimate their own skills.

Done a similar thing with bigger following sea, about the same width under the water before keel impact, but a couple of feet of water on top of the rock on each side so you can't even see properly where it is, full throttle and working the wheel like a drift kiddie, and unlike that one, right angle 90 left after the entrance, off the throttle at JUST the right moment and full lock, then straighten and relax :-D fun, but nerves of steel definitely required :-D

No kidding. Tough for a sailboat.

Let alone the wind, that current would have driven me into the bank for sure. I think the directional current underneath is so much harder to navigate than the tangible wind...especially if the current was bouncing sideways off the rocks.

Quante volte son passato da lì, che ricordi e che manovra il velista!

Cool, and watch out on this place when you getting in this.

Bellissimo 👍 new friend

I'd look for another anchorage in that weather....

Who built this Channel? Where is the brakewater on the enter?

A beautiful sport

is this slack tide? im assuming it is since everyone is rushing to get in. Id hate to see that tiny channel during peak rise or ebb.

The first sail boat captain was well ahead of his boat, great helmsmanship. The second sail boat captain was chasing the controls, hence hitting the bank several times.

Dude I needed that laugh 😆🤣😂😹. 🙏

Imprezionante!

For a number of years, I wintered in a port with a narrow entrance channel like this, though I never had to cope with quite the swells and current as this one. On a sailboat, one has to come in at full power at max speed or you're done. 1:52 Looks a bit like PIO's (pilot induced oscillations). A tiller is so much easier in this situation (which I had on my 30-footer).

I was going this channel once. You get sucked through it by the current. It's really scarry. Our skipper said, that's actually not so difficult. You just have to make sure to enter at the right angle and not to stear too much once you are in.

Grande manovra il velista 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

That's some supreme helmsmanship right there.

I'll have a pint of what the guy in the last boat is drinking !!!!!!!

They could have taken the longer route and avoid the canal in this weather. Though if it's a rental they probably don't care.

I think if I had a sail boat I’d put the tiller handle on. It’d be way more responsive then a huge steering wheel.

Show the inside of the harbor please

Needs a jetty to stop the rough ocean from coming into the canal.

Ma allargare qualche metro il canale no?

They could have just gone 10 miles south and and then back up north the same distance, and avoided what might have been thousands of dollars of repair work. Would also be interesting to compare the hull and keel design of the two sailboats. This was off the coast of Croatia.

No need for that because PORT AUTHORITY doesn't let bigger boats than this through the canal, it's a island so bigger boats or those who are unsure of passing this can just take longer route around the island.

It's not about whether we can afford it or not, for that great idea of yours a new bridge has to be made and that'd mean cutting off entire island from the means to travel to the shore like ferry or state road. If you close this part to "widen it" for even a day, hell would break loose and knowing how our state takes their sweet time for even most urgent fixes, it'd mean cutting all transportation of people and food for at least six months. Thank you, your comment was a brilliant idea. P.S. If you're just an amateur skipper who wants to show off, don't try to pass here. No one has ever complained for having to pass this route in the last 100 years

All boats which waited at the sea-side as well as the bay-side are passing through. Other option is to sail around the Island. Also it's the only connection between the northern and southern part of the Island for traffic. So even when the sea is calm a lot of spectators, it' s nice to see😀 and good atmosphere!
