I would have sailed it to safety. It would have also been nice to know what happened to the owner and what the situation was.

Eerie

If I find one can I keep it?

New boat.

Excellent 😁

I wonder why they abandoned this boat. They were all good sailors and that boat will take any weather or storms.

Imagine being so rich you can buy a super expensive boat and then just leave it in the middle of the ocean.

Proof yet again that no good deed goes unpunished.

holdap, why didn't you take the sails down if you were towing? :o

See....now this is "white privilege" 😅 Btw, you guys are really nice people eh. This will come back on you in some way for the good! Godspeed

You've got 2 people that should be confident sailors single hand each boat back to Bermuda claim salvage if nobody claims it...

They should have separated to sail both boats in??? Am 8 missing something?

Is this is what ignorance looks like

Hey! It's Donglai!

Amazing that he couldn’t hypothesise 2 things. Either the owners most likely drown, or it simply broke free of its moorings and drifted out of port undetected.

should of put the sales up

My heart is pounding real fast and am so nervous from just watching this. I almost never the this freaked out from just watching RUclips

They didn’t leave a floater in the head😂

This is my sailboat, give it back to me please😊

You have a sail for a reason. Broken engine is no problems you can still sail to shore and brake with the anchor or on a boye. Ive done it plenty of times but with a 30 ft. Maybe a lot harder with 42 ft boat. If you have too much wind you do a quick 360 turn before port to slow down then release the sails as you move in. Big round fender in the front could also be used if you impact.

Should’ve stolen it for myself, free boat

Sailboat engines were not made to tow boats.

If they did want the boat they have could left it to me this guy with no place to really 😢

I've got some miles under a keel. The old saying, don't abandoned ship until you have to step onto your life raft. Easier said than done I guess, some people give up too soon in my opinion.

Split up and sail both boats?

Guys this is so embarrassing but this is my sailboat and I got distracted let me know where it's at and I'll go grab it asap

Has anyone ever watched that movie called "The Boat". It's a must see. It's about an abandoned sailboat. Great movie

This is scary stuff

This makes me wonder HOW MANY of those are still out there, doing a endless journey

Free upgrade from a 42 to 48

pls explain to a non-sailor, why didn't one of them sail the boat?

Dang sea hippies can’t leave stuff alone

Stop the madness. Some say he was courageous,an adventurer.Living his unrealistic dreams. He was a fool creating danger and danger to other peoples lives the Coast Guard Navy, the local marine authorities, his relatives, his friends he’ll probably get a medal for being one of the dumbest people on the planet. Oh, but maybe he’s rich and that makes it OK it’s OK let’s just all abandon our yachts out in the middle of the ocean and just go home. What a fun day.

What is the law on salvage ? If they abandoned it offshore it falls under maritime law. Salvage rights go to who finds it is my understanding.

Lucky you weren't got caught on a storm😮

Just take All The stuff -🙄🙄

you'd smell bodies long before seeing em

is there a moral to this story ?

In February of 2013, Alan McGettigan and his crew were rescued from the Sailboat Swan 48, Wolfhound, around 70 miles off the coast of Bermuda. McGettigan, who died in November of 2022, was joined by fellow Royal Irish Yacht Club members Declan Hayes and Morgan Crowe as well as Tom Mulligan from the National Yacht Club on the yacht, which had suffered both power and engine failure amid stormy conditions while en route from Connecticut to that year’s RORC Caribbean 600. Also - Alan McGettigan, Declan Hayes, Morgan Crowe, and Tom Mulligan, are all the most "sailor" sounding names I've ever heard in my life. 😂

The proud new owner of of a yacht..congrats

You guys are awesome 👏👏👏

Finders keepers rules apply here or what?

He should have salvage rights the boats his.

Nice… free boat, finders keepers

Should have towed by rules of the sea it would then be hours

Finders keepers?
