great video thanks, some crazy conditions there, thanks for not putting on music, it's much more real with just the sound of the wind and waves - awesome!
Aussie boat I believe. If correct, they sailed from Aus just to participate in the Fastnet, and not for the first time. Edit: no different ketch, I was thinking of 72' Kialoa II, see her here: ruclips.net/video/PNOvg22th1w/видео.html
Such an incredible vantage point of the Fastnet Race. Shows the extreme conditions these sailors and support teams had to endure. Thanks for sharing! ⛵
Wow..just sitting here at a harbour waiting out a gale that is blowing through and happy not to be out there...watching this video reminds me of how much we love to sail. Every boat that competes in that race is a winner regardless of final place! Well done lads...now back to my coffee and brekky and more sailing videos! Mike 😊
Thanks for standing out in that to film. Interesting to compare the performance with reduced sail area. To my eye, in many cases, there was no performance deficit. Add to that the crew comfort and their race long performance; overall a gain to reduce sail.
Could not agree more. I frequently shorten sail early on the basis that "if you think you should be putting a reef in, put a reef in" and it never seems to affect overall boat speed noticeably, but it massively improves comfort.
Great camerawork thanks. Most modern yachts don’t like to be close hauled in stronger winds and choppy sea. While older designs like the shown Swan 65 an S&S design seems to be quite comfortable and great fun. Greeting’s from Copenhagen Jasper
amazing stuff, and footage! thanks! (and fascinating to see the huge variety of hull shapes and sizes. AND... the pretty broad range of sail area being flown. (can't believe a few boats seemed to have nearly full sail hoisted...and seemed to be performing as well as someone right next to them with nothing but stormsails).
Fantastic footage ! An external look at what I experienced and saw from the deck at 15:30 s/y Fujimo ab POL14833. Thank You very much for this excellent souvenir :)
Great video, shows that those who had set up their boats for the conditions could manage OK. Good call by Race Committee to start on time. It is an Ocean Race.
Thanks for the video, best footage of the non exotic yachts I've seen. Very interesting to see reefed headsails on at least a couple of yachts, they were going well too.
wow, it looks even tougher than the 2021 edition. RORC should definitely extend their live coverage to include the bulk of the fleet passing Hurst Castle
Toller Film! Als normaler Fahrtensegler kann man froh sein, nicht dabei zu sein sondern bewundernd zuhause mit einem Glas Rotwein die Kämpfe gegen Wind und See verfolgen zu können. Chapeau!
Happily, whilst it was blowing its nuts off that weekend, we were tucked up in Gosport Marina with access to the pub, a fab Chinese restaurant, shops and power. It was howling. The moral is to pick your weather window. I think I made a good choice.....
Fantastic video Rod! I took part in this challenging race and shot some video in the calmer moments. I would love to include some of your video footage with mine with your permission.
Much more comfortable and probably faster on the boats with reduced sails especially small/storm jibs - the boat with their full size jib seem to be on the point of rounding up all the time.
Yup, “Eve” Swan 65 making it look relatively easy. Large has advantage! But this video certainly shows how the conditions got worse for the smaller boats as the day went on.
great video thanks, some crazy conditions there, thanks for not putting on music, it's much more real with just the sound of the wind and waves - awesome!
Thanks for the kind comments.
The ketch at 12:32 was sailing beautifully, handling the conditions like a boss.
1973 ketch Nautor Swan 65 and still so perfect!
Having sailed through the Needles Channel many times, that Ketch looked to be the only one I would be happy on in those conditions.
Full agree!!!

Sure did, reefed and trimmed beautifully for conditions
Great to see a bit of un-edited, un-scripted, straightforward reporting of some interesting conditions. Thank you.

Good to see all those storm jibs getting an airing!
It is good to have bad weather every so often. Designers and skippers need to remember that boats should be durable, not simply fast.
how many of those boats the keel snaps off
How right you are, fast alone won’t cut it, if a boat can’t bring her crew home safely it isn’t a safe boat to sail on

Plus. Your boat doesn't break/you don't thoughtlessly endanger others having to rescue you....😮

yes that is absolutely the cas. old style design works much better here
@@aldertvanweeren3474 nope, a modern boat set up/sailed well will easily distance an equivalent length older boat every time.
Great footage! Having also spent the day at sea in similar weather (not @ Fastnet unfortunately) I came home to enjoy this!
Fantastic video!! Thanks for sticking it out for us!
Fantastic filming. Really showed the conditions at Hurst. I've been there solo and over canvased and it can be very scary.
Looks like everyone was having a marvelous time. I love weather like this.
me too, love heavy air.

Interesting to see the variety of sail settings from full main to full genny and all variations in between.
Fantastic footage !

Thank you for the kind comments.
Man, that was brutal! Thanks for filming / sharing!
Great video, thank you
Horrible conditions!
Interesting to see how some of the boats with less sail out are doing better.
Thanks for sharing those images!
Impressive how the tide and wind changed within one hour!

A new. Era an a new breed of boats.❤
Thanks for takin us along.
Excellent footage, interesting to see how well most boats were coping. Exhilarating for the crews, but I'm glad I wasn't out there with them.
wow, it looks even tougher than the 2021 edition. RORC should definitely extend their live coverage to include the bulk of the fleet passing Hurst Castle
12:29 , that two master looked stable and smooth compared to all the other boats dancing around.
Sure did, reefed and trimmed beautifully for conditions
absolutely setup and sailed to perfection. That's Sydney yacht "Eve" a Swan 65.
I think it is the Maxi, Kailoa II - according to planetsail
Its wonderful - you can almost hear the clink of fine china and the pop of a bottle or two being opened below deck
Yep heavy long keel displacement....Easy to forget 60 years ago thats how they all looked and sailed....beautiful easy motion...a real sail boat.
Brutal conditions out there hope they stay safe!
Outstanding! We must've been sat next to you. Needed a hot bath after an afternoon's thrilling spectating.
Great footage of all the classes racing!! Thansk for posting!
It's on my list to sail that race one day. Hats off to all that have.
Great work - thanks for filming that!
OMG. What absolutely miserable conditions for a race start. Good luck to them all. Tough race ahead.
Fantastic footage. Wish there were more big boats like there were last race.
Love the crew waving on GBR 4147L, thanks for sharing.
2023-1925 = 98 years ago. My guess is there have been a few years when no race was held. Fascinating to see the variety of boats participating.
Yes, it was annual until 1931 and then became bi-annual, but then missed the war years.
Super Film,
wer hier segelt ob erster oder ob letzter ist, ist ein könner❤
Thanks for sharing. It was interesting to watch!
Thanks for uploading.

Excellent video, thanks to the brave photographer. Also for the great sailors
Thanks for the kind comment!
Rod, what a beautiful film.
great! I was hoping for this footage again this year
Thank you for posting!
Nice footage!!
That Solent 🕺💃🔥!!
Thanks a lot
(Remember leaving Portsmouth to France in pretty same conditions)
Big respect to these skippers - really tough conditions with such strong wind against the tide
Felt for Medallia, OCS at start so 2hr penalty and then the foresail unrolled causing more delays.
Thank you! Great pictures
Epic footage well done braving those conditions!
Good footage. Thanks for the updates!
Great video,many thanks for posting
Lovely conditions 💯
Wow. Many of these boats have way too much jib out for the conditions.
Ahhh the Fastnet. Nice vid. Thanks
Cool to see Imp there.
Toller Film! Als normaler Fahrtensegler kann man froh sein, nicht dabei zu sein sondern bewundernd zuhause mit einem Glas Rotwein die Kämpfe gegen Wind und See verfolgen zu können. Chapeau!
Ich stimme voll und ganz!
Great video !!!! Thank You. 👍 Not easy at all .. for all of them even with the storm sail ahh
Nice conditions 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the footage 3 reefs and a storm jib untill the sunrise !
Thanks , Great shots
Nice footage. Thanks for sharing the shredding
Great video !!!!❤
Great video, I can imagine what it was like and I wouldn't want to be there ..
Pretty rough - but I’d love to be out there with them.
Nice video! Lots of amazing boats!
looking Lively out there matey!!
Really enjoyable to watch. That big ketch was lapping it up.
Great footage, jeez nasty conditions
Great footage! Please do an extended version😃
I'll see how many un-used clips I have - and indeed all the ones used were trimmed fairly short. Will see what it looks like...
That's wonderful coverage ...I will watch this again and again...natures power posing some important decisions being made in multiple areas.....
thank you !
Thanks for a great video.
Remarkably flat seas if it really was gusting force nine. What was the wind direction & state of the tide?
The sea state picks up after 8 minutes into the video.
Some good (cross that out - excellent) video work especially of the smaller boats having to tough it out. Gnarly hardly describes it.
Many Thanks for the kind comment.
Nice job!
Nice to see the storm jibs being used.
great pics
Wow looks like it was really blowin’! What do you reckon the wind speed was? Any capsizes?
Title says gusting to Force 9 😶, which is 75 - 88km/h or 41 - 47 knots. Gear-breaker stuff.
Шикарное видео! Жаль что нет борьбы на знаке.. Спасибо оператору!
Thank you😊

A lovely British summer.
Great footage. Love it.

That's fine, suitably credited.
@@RodOrmston Thanks Rod, much appreciated 👍
Ahoy there from Australia.
Beautiful. How fast does the tide run out here? The running monohull at 17:00 doesn't seem to make any speed over ground at all.
On springs, the west-going tide can be as much as 4.5 knots.
Lively is bit of an understatement!
Don't sailers always understate the conditions? 😅
Thank you
That looked like a rough start for some of the smaller boats! Good luck to all the crews! Is this the In-North East Shingles buoy @9:23?
Yes, that's the one!
@@RodOrmston Damn! Have seen this in much calmer conditions!
Some good footage. I assume you were on top of the castle.
Yes, that is correct. When it was really tanking down, I went into shelter, but the Rolex media chap had to stay outside!
Fantastic, thank you.
Much more comfortable and probably faster on the boats with reduced sails especially small/storm jibs - the boat with their full size jib seem to be on the point of rounding up all the time.
Nice footage. Definitely a bit bouncy at Hurst. Not the time to be putting the kettle on for a quick brew.
that is how i love to sail!!!!
please take care of the sailors and of the boats
Yup, “Eve” Swan 65 making it look relatively easy. Large has advantage! But this video certainly shows how the conditions got worse for the smaller boats as the day went on.
Ah, the joys of sailing in the British Isles.
I think Sailing in the British Isles is what makes British men and women more masculine than the rest of the people of the world. :)
Poor women@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239
Until all the small mono hulls appeared, it looked like it was a French boat only race!
Good Lord, is that the legendary IMP at 16:42???
Rolex Bonkersnet Race 2023
"Lively conditions". Just a bit of an understatement.
