TEDxConejo - Abby Sunderland - Rogue Wave and Lessons of the Sea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Abby Sunderland grew up sailing. After a 3-year family cruise, she began to dream about sailing around the world. After watching her older brother, Zac, successfully sail around the world alone in 2009, she realized that with hard work and perseverance, her own dream to solo circumnavigate could be a reality. With her family behind her, a course was charted that
led Abby on the adventure of a lifetime. In March of 2010, at the age of 16, Abby became the youngest person ever to sail solo around Cape Horn, considered by many to be the Mount Everest of sailing. Over half way around the world her boat was hit by a rogue wave. Rolled, dismasted and out of com- munication, Abby had to be rescued from the middle of the In- dian Ocean. Abby's lessons from the sea have taught her a lifetime of wisdom on having passion and purpose in your life.

Hey adv nerds
Well done Abby- you are an inspiration. To be willing to place your self at sea alone in such a small vessel and to handle alone the weather, the currents, the swells, the winds, the solitude shows a soul of immense courage. To have placed faith in God at a moment of crisis and give witness to the reach of God's hand signals discernment. Your husband and your children are indeed fortunate to have you as their companion and source of inspiration on the journey of life. May God continue to bless you all.
Abby, you are such an inspiration. Thank you. FD
My respect for you❤️🙏 thanks for chilling.
WOW INSPIRATION!!
An amazing story of growth.
I think her team was trying for youngest/fastest and going to market her and monetize her.
The choice of some of her equipment and the lack of other equipment beggars belief.
No blame on her, but her family/sponsors/advisors and media for putting this story in the public domain without accepting that it was (even on reflection) ill-conceived.
I am in the early planning stages of a trip, my priorities etc do not overlap with this fiasco, the only redeeming point I can see is that it was a fiasco, not a tragedy.
Speed before safety.
Her team by not admitting the obvious failings could possibly endanger others. Safety does not mean taking the adventure out of the trip, no matter how prepared there will be always danger on a circumnavigation, no need to create problems
Sour puss
Why would any one have a negative comment on this ?
If you look at the list of youth solo circumnavigations, only one used a modern ocean racing boat, plus Abby. The others used heavy full displacement cruising sailboats (three of them S&S 34's). The choice of a racing boat was probably not the best, since such a boat is built for speed, with compromises such as relying only on power-hungry electric autopilots and not a wind vane self-steering system. While fast boats can move out of the way of dangerous storms, their lightness and speed makes them more vulnerable to the sort of wave which upended Abby. Racers take several autopilots with them, since they do break down. The high tech makes the boat go fast, but it doesn't make it more stable.
Yep. Think of Tony Bullimore or Cheeki Rafiki.....fin keeled boats are fast but not great when it snaps off. You get about 2 seconds to abandon and can have zero warning. Deep keels are more stable and best suited for long passages....especially if short-handed. I'd go for a wind-vane and use autohelm only as backup (while fixing the WV mechanical failure). And I'd be paranoid about weather forecasts.
S&S 34s are not full displacement -- they are deep skeg keel, with a skeg mounted rudder, plus
a center mounted engine that helps with motion and stability. Also long and up-swept overhangs
which help to keep boat climbing over waves.and decks dry.
Texas Yankee, are you sure you're not conflating "full displacement" with "full keel" or something here? The S&S 34 is clearly a displacement hull; there's not much lift/planing going on there, unlike Abby's boat.
edit: The original S&S specs of 9,195 lbs and 24′ 2″ LWL gives a D/L ratio of 290. That's heavy displacement in my book.
It’s a shame , but it was the boat that let her down! I’m sure many people haven’t a clue how hard it is to such a quest !
Her boat just showed up drifting in the ocean in Australia I just saw story on it
Why one earth didn't have a windvane self steering system? From the beginning your autopilots didn't work well. And in Cabo they colf have installed a monitor system for her. This does not make sense.
+Robert Mulligan The Vondee Globe around-the-world race boats (Open 60s) are similar in design to hers (Open 40) and I wondered why they don't have wind vane steering either. I'm guessing there are two reasons but I'd like to hear from an expert...
1. East-about journeys are mostly downwind, a point of sail wind vanes don't handle well
2. These boats are fast to accelerate and decelerate in gusty winds. So even in upwind legs, with the apparent wind constantly being pulled fore and aft, the wind vane can't keep up.
Can¨t they make waterproof sat.-phones? If only one of the two phones had worked she never had to activate the EPIRBs. She had even considered to not activate them, but then nobody ,especially her family, would have known what happened to her either her location. (I have read her book)
7th grade hw in california beginning of the year.
*Search video **_Gabby Wonderland tries to use Iridium_** LMAO at **7:24** she even says it was nice to talk on the phone that wasn't failing every 30 seconds for the first time in 3 months*
What happened to the wrecked boat? Did it drift off into oblivion? It looks like it was a very expensive boat to lose.
They tend to be scuttled if salvaging isn't possible.
It was abandoned. It was just found drifting off Australia.
she sounds so unintelligent. its a miracle she survived the ordeal. what terrible parents she has to let her attempt to sail around the world.
De Selby She’s very intelligent. And let’s not forget that Abby grew up sailing with her family all over the world.
Her parents were trying to monetize her. As I said in other posts the only good thing" Fiasco rather than a tragedy" Who could support this!
Great girl, does Laura Dekker now hold the record for youngest solo around the Horn?
Laura Dekker is youngest to circumnavigate solo, but she did not go via the Horn. The girl who Abby (or, erm, Abby's father) was (unwisely) racing to beat in order to get popular notice (and subsequent earning$), Jessica Watson, is the youngest to make it around nonstop and unassisted via the Horn and other great Southern Capes. Her voyage was truly a life dream and well-planned, not a life-endangering, ill planned stunt done for the sake and profit$ of celebrity, which is more than likely why Jessica made it, and Abby did not.
She went through the Panama Canal? Don't you need a crew for that? Pfft, cheater :)
krrt66 Tell me, how exactly would Laurence make money off of Abby’s solo trip?
styx85 Zack took the Panama canal
@@leaveonlywake I posted before I read your post.
Agree with you. as I said in my post " the only redeeming thing it was a fiasco rather than a tragedy"
homework gang lets goooooo
Must be nice having rich parents. 400k boat handed to a 17yr old lol crazy
i have to write an rst for this
homework anymone???
Wade_the_weirdo right here
Work
why
No Thai or Somali pirates hostage problems?
Do you think Thai or Somali pirates generally roam the seas around 60°S?
Good
So much praise, but riddle me this: in my area, the first rule of boating is "don't boat alone" and it is also illegal, against the regulations and I must say--that regulation is a real good idea, as boating alone is irresponsible and totally unsafe, not just to you, the sailor, but to other boaters. An example? OK, not that it will matter to the adoring crowds here. "a lookout must be posted at all time". How can you do that when you are below decks, sleeping? But here I see tons of praise. Hey, let's do this: lets now find an even younger girl, she can defy the rules and so forth, I know, let's do it next time with NO LIGHTS. Illegal? Hey, who cares, as long as she is fulfilled, as long as we can find a Daddy who thinks it's great, and the rule breakers (otherwise known as officials) and off she can go, sweet thing anyway. We'll all open the bubbly if she pulls it off. And if someone, or her, dies? No worries mate.

The area you are in that bans solo sailing is a nanny state for sure.
Solo sailing is one of the best things in the world, especially on small dinghies or laser boats, you cant beat it.
Theres a general rule in ocean travelling, don't travel close to other vessels. You have no clue who they are.
Your statement is flawed, most ocean travelling boats have some form of radar that sets off alarms when within either metres or kilometres from on object or close to shallow waters.
Apart from the alarm, both yachts can potentially just move away.
I agree, having someone on watch increases your odds of survival significantly.
As someone who owns a gps map device, majority of them connect to other gps devices on other vessels, so if you get too close to the other vessel, warning alarms will go off on both vessels.
She isnt "breaking rules" - it is completely legal to sail single handed.
she was all in it for fame because she could've solo sailed at age 20 but that wouldn't get her any fame so she did it at age 16
Right! It was all about the fame.
Cheer up mate!
Very true. I also hear her "team" didn't incur any of the $200,000-$300,000 rescue costs and still asked the Aussie government to salvage her ship.!
Spoilt yacht girl fails publicity stunt, gives ted talk for.. what reason?
You managed to condense my rant into one sentence.
Another influencer trying to make money through increasing her fame. More views on her social media for ads, selling books, selling courses, her blog etc. These TED talks are always just people promoting something to make money.
She's not a hero...she is a child whose parents were willing to sacrifice in the hopes of making money off of her. Negligence is not a virtue, at least it used to not be.
