All boats have a limit to their self-righting ability. Strangely enough it's called their self-righting angle. Once this degree of roll is surpassed then the boat will capsize.The self righting angle is determined by the distribution of weight above and below the water line plus the relevant center of gravity for that particular vessel. By simply taking on a few tons of water onto the deck or into the wheelhouse or the area below decks the self-righting angle can change dramatically.
I live in Indiana but I visit Florida between 4-8 times every year. I have NEVER seen waves a fifth that size, and I go on all-day deep-sea fishing trips every time I'm down there. Where exactly was this in Florida? This is incredible!
I"m sorry, The skipper was probably a very good one but it was pure damn luck that she came back on an even keel. I am sure the skipper gave it every opportunity to do so with his application of the thrust of the engine. He stayed at the helm, kept his head, fought to keep the boat on course, which is basically keeping it at ninty degrees to the wave action in this particular situation, and succeeded in overcoming the pressure of the following sea with aggressive handling of the steering.
No way that's in florida, it's a west coast boat and that's the pacific ocean. In terms of luck? pretty neutral i think. it was a bad spot and a good boat. By the way, There would have been no steering it once it was surfing that wave, so it's survival is more a testament to the skills of the designer and builder than the captain, though he certainly seems to have kept it together.
Crazy, so scary. A fear of every fisherman, especially in the winter. Returning with boat load and getting on a run from a stern approaching sea. Rolling her on her side and stalling the motor. Left adrift with no power. Scary !
@fishin1111 Skilled my ar$e. From the moment that wave hit, the skipper was not able to control his boat. The rudder on a boat is useless when the boat is laying on it's side being pushed around by thousands of tons of water. It was pure luck that saw this boat make it home in one piece. It was pure luck that the waves didn't smash this boat to pieces on those rocks. All the SKILL in the world can not match the fury of the ocean. I'm just glad they made it home alive.
@fishin1111 I think being skillful in a foolish situation is a bit of a contradiction - Number 1 rule when entering a river / crossing a bar is to have enough power to keep up with the waves - that boat couldn't hence the broach - if the wave he broached on had refaced or stood up, it would have spun and capsized in a second - the skipper had very little control, which is never good. imo
90% skill and experience, 10% luck, without a working brain and hands for split second reaction, the boat would have capsize....im a skipper myself and experienced a near capsized before....
yeh it was so skillful that the skipper bought the boat upright,where can i learn to right a boat like that?if it took on much more water theyd be in trouble skill or not,thats why its called an accident,because it wasnt meant to happen!
I am a commercial fisherman here in northern California. I recognize the harbor right away it is Noyo Harbor like warty2200 says. There is a longer video of this watch?v=Lku2Nzsq710
there was nothing but luck involved in this video! as soon as the wave picked up the boat and it began to yaw very little skill was involved and luck took over! by far the most dangerous situation a vessel can encounter! those of us who own boats ( and are professional captains) know that skill will only take you so far
Let me rearrange your words for you U are out of ur mind, full stop. Which god do you think stopped what he/she/it was doing and helped out the skipper in this episode?

Man that boat holds the sea well with plenty of ballast to hold her.

@fishin1111 I agree, very skilled Skipper on that boat!
Nice music...
Two things: 1. Hope he didn't spill his coffee... Next, would my walmart raft make it?
He said the boats trying to make it to land? He wants to beach it? Was he on the beach? Is that what kept it from capsizing?

That’s not Florida, that’s Fort Bragg ,California 1987
You will see it quite differently ...!!

this isnt florida this is fort bragg california just another part of life for us west coast fisherman
lol...it says FL, USA. I guess that's the famed "Cliffs of Miami" in the background?.?.? 0:55
We're their saying Florida it's not it's on the west coast of the U.S. somewhere in the north west
boat is keel weighted so it uprights its self
90% skill and experience, 10% luck, without a working brain and hands for split second reaction, the boat would have capsize....im a skipper myself and experienced a near capsized before....
There ARE no mountains either lol

Good Skipper
I am a commercial fisherman here in northern California. I recognize the harbor right away it is Noyo Harbor like warty2200 says. There is a longer video of this watch?v=Lku2Nzsq710
You sir are correct it is Noyo =)
that first clip it noyo port its in Oregon
Not Florida. Looks like Noyo Harbor in Northern California. 99% luck.

Let me rearrange your words for you
U are out of ur mind, full stop.
Which god do you think stopped what he/she/it was doing and helped out the skipper in this episode?
