      Me and I retired a near coastal Masters license I held from 1983 until 2018. Back in about 1995 as I was making a turn right up for the entrance I caught a wave that literally turned a 61 ft steel hull crew boat into a surfboard that was moving faster than I I could at full throttle wave pressure locked my rudders. Missed the entrance bouy I mean by inches. Surfed that near 30 ft wave a mile into the entrance of Apra Harbor Guam over mile couldn't turn to starboard and managed to put the pressure on my hydraulic steering give me a little bit of rudder to Port and that's how I broke out of the wave into clean water inside the breakwater. Took every bit of skill and knowledge that I learned as a Coast Guard Boatswains Mate that day. That was the pilot boat, for the tug company.
      Had come back from about month-long vacation and for some reason the port engineer had dropped the engine from 2,225 RPM down to 1800 the vessels would not get up on plane, could only do 11 knots compared to the 16 knots it would do at the higher setting, which would have given a 1300 shaft horsepower out of those two 12v 71 twin turbocharged intercooled Detroit diesels in the engine room.

      nope that's not how you cross a bar like that. He would have certainly turned the boat over. If you were in the cockpit in those conditions the waves would look 4 times what they are on camera and short intervals with no time to escape. The point is that he should have never left the harbor period.

    I live on the north shore of Oahu, where life guards go in and out of swells way bigger than this. There is a time to punch the throttle, and a time to let off. This guy could have easily made it out through those waves if he had punched it up to each wave and then as he hit it, back off enough to not launch in the air, only enough to get up through each wave. If you abort mission, and turn around in the surf, then you have to punch the throttle to get out from under the next wave that is going to roll the boat. If you keep going slow as the next wave hits you while you are going slow on a 45 degree angle, the wave is going to hit you, roll the boat and cause what is called a broch. Right before the broch happens you have to hit the throttle and head towards shore before the wave has a chance to roll you into a broch. The strakes on the hull upon punching the throttle take over and stabilize the boat in a turn. These techniques enable you to out race the given wave back towards shore. Of all places, the captain's of these boats should study these techniques and practice them.

    The COBIA did NOT get “destroyed”, as your title states. This is a very strong, safe and trustworthy boat.

    Whew, got my heart pumping. Two unsolicited comments; one, when operating in heavy sea with short wave periods you must be super quick on the steering wheel, this guy was letting the boat drive itself, wind and waves overpowered him. Second, These new multi- engined outboards are inherently top heavy (especially on deep-vee’s) so try not to get parallel to big waves, it will roll over. Looks like what saved him was the water in the bilge he took on earlier, note bilge pump stream, which gave him some added weight to offset the outboards. Or...better yet, stay in port.

I don't know her background (IE if she took classes, or grew up boating) but the point is her experience is what matters.
      Most of these problem videos are 1) tourists in a rental who have literally never captained a boat before, or 2) people who spend half a million dollars (or more) on a boat and think it's indestructible.

    28 years part time Jupiter inlet, 1985 stand up 550 jets ski and searay 22'. Not an inlet to mess with, reef left going out forms waves right into inlet. Jet ski was easy small ride tops, I was a kid 15-18 doing it. Now live and snow ski Colorado mountains. Some things never die, still alive!

    @DangerClose13E 2 года назад +9

    Most boat owners have no idea that a boat will only steer if water is moving over their rudder or lower unit. Stay perpendicular to the waves whether going out or in. When going out, don't "jump" the wave because the bow may go below the wave and get swamped. When coming in, don't allow your boat to become a surfboard, because it isn't! Your boat has to be going faster than the wave to steer and maintain the perpendicular position.

    Local knowledge here; (1) wear a life jacket! Odds of these guys dying was really high if they landed in the water. The outgoing current is ripping, who is going to find you in that mess before you drown and/or the current washes you away? (2) don't go out Jupiter on a day like this, (3) if you do go out and it's rough, make a hard left or right as soon as you clear the rocks. The middle where these guys went is the worst. Beware the occasional sandbar that can build a couple hundred yards off the beach on the south outside the inlet, it can get shallow (hit it in a 16' boat as a teenager once). Coming back in, the north side gets a lot of shoal, stay towards the middle and away from the north side rocks. The waves get steep and soupy, random and from every angle and the current is ripping at tide changes. Very very easy to stuff the bow in that inlet, especially with following waves. If you're in the ocean and the weather turns and the inlet looks like this on the way back in, go south to Palm Beach inlet. It's a lot wider and deeper and not as bad, worth the trip. Lots of lives lost in Jupiter inlet.
