Update No.2 from dismasted Sailing Aquarius
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2024
- We made it to Martinique. Circumnavigation is complete. But Aquarius is in terrible condition. So much to do and we are a bit lost. Insurance already sent survey, inspection starts, couple days later the broken masts removed and we just trying to keep up and not to crash. Extreme heat doesn't help either. We are not in a position mentally or physically to make full edited videos yet, just sharing what we can...
Anyways, join us as we share our experience and thoughts...
And thanks so much for watching 🙏
Stay tuned as next Friday 12PM EST we release a new video 🎥

Thank you for the update. Frankly that a boat that is maintained to your standard could have such a failure is incredible. I goes to show how complex boats are. I cannot wait to hear why the surveyor found
Me too, wish to hear what caused the collapse of the mast
Glad you made it safely to shore. Now the work begins. And the fight with your insurance company.
That's going to be tough. The survey would have to conclude that the incident was not due to fair wear & tear; nor a maintenance deficiency nor some installation issue but to some unforeseeable, insurable event (like an out-of-season weather event).
Insurance not paying for that.
Wow! Who can boast such a history on the final leg of an circumnavigation! Across the Atlantic without a mast! Glad you’re made it!
Hats off to you two. Job well done.
What a traumatic experience. Congratulations on getting Aquarius, and yourselves to port. When we sunk and recovered our 22' racing boat, we were able to find the aluminum company that originally extruded the mast for the boat. They still had the die for the mast in storage, so they were able to extrude a new 30' bare stick for the new mast. We were able to remove the shrouds, top assembly, gooseneck, etc. from the old mast and install them on the new mast and the boat lived to race again. Good luck to you guys and Aquarius.
Congrats guys. Question, are you going to circumnavigate again or just hang around the Caribbean and continue live aboard life. It looks like you’re undeterred and ready for more. You two are amazing. 👍👍
Congratulations on completing your lap around the World! Very sorry that the last 1200nm were so difficult! Your display of seamanship, perseverance and creativity in not just living through the mast disaster but getting Aquarius back safely to Martinique is unparalleled. Well done! Take a well deserved rest while the insurance company and your surveyor get matters sorted out.
Cheers. Look on the bright side. you're alive.😊
Glad you made it okay! I hope the survey finds a cause of this incident, and I hope you will share it with us because to be honest, for an Amel maintained the way you do it, it seems impossible for this to just have happened and it'd be interesting to know...
So nice to see you smile again. You made it!! Yahooooo🎉❤❤.
Both showed amazing resilience under terrible circumstances. Avoiding serious injury is a major result and getting there in one piece is amazing. Enjoy the fizz!!
Congratulations on the completion of the circumnavigation. And congratulations on coping with all the has happened. You are a brave staunch couple. I hope you can save Aquarius.
So happy you guys are safe and completed a circumnavigation as well. Pity that the ending wasn't as planned but you both kept on going and persevered! As to the mast, I wouldn't be surprised if internal corrosion and age are a factor in the collapse. Be careful getting older masts.... All the best!!!
Yeah, I think internal corrosion is one of the only things that makes sense if basically everything was intact in the rigging. Maybe the motor inside the mast was causing some sort of electrical corrosion or even just having different metal in its mounting touching aluminium. Only other option that I can think of is that maybe one of the lower shrouds lost locking pin and got untightened over time.
We had our 35 year old mast sandblasted back to bare metal on re-rigging. We were astounded to find it in perfect condition inside and out.
Likely metal fatigue at a weak point in the mast like an exit point .These failures usually start that way ,a hole or an attachment concentrates stress and it fails there . That is why planes do not have square windows .
If it is a factory installation common to these boats that was the fail point they should let the Amel community know so everyone can check and monitor their boats . This is one advantage of a boat with larger production numbers , others can warn you of potential weak spots
Well done! And thanks for sharing your journey. Hoping you can find another Amel mast and get back to your journey. Stay well!
I don’t know if I could be a cool as you two if I had just gone through what you did. As if circumnavigation wasn’t enough you finished of with a masterful bit of survival and seamanship.
Guys, your family and I am very proud of the survival tactics you taught all of us! The most important thing to me is you as a couple demonstrate the power of marriage in the darkest of hours! If Wendy and I can do anything we would. Know this , our 30 acres in the woods has room for a visit from you both ! It’s not a hotel but Wendy does a great job of hosting our family! We love you both and hope you make plans to come out to Missouri! Love you Bobby
So glad you’re all right, and made it‼️ I have tears of joy due to your safe return.
Congratulations on your circumnavigation! Glad you are safe and Aquarius is insured and repairable.
Glad to see this update with good news. Prayers answered!
I can only assume how relieved your are with arriving in Martinique. Really impressive story but I assume without it it would have been easier. Congrats - you made it and this is something you should see really positive.

Congratulations on your circumnavigation! I'm sure you wanted to wrap it up in style, but not quite like this. I'm so impressed with how well you both handled the situation. Nothing short of remarkable. Well done!
Congratulations on achieving your circumnavigation. Certainly not as you imagined or deserved. Your determination, strength of character and outlook are fantastic. Huge respect ❤
Congratulations on completing the circumnavigation! Considering this last leg, an incredible achievement! Praying that the insurance/survey/refit goes as smoothly as possible and that Aquarius is returned to her fullest glory!🎉⛵️🙏🏻❤️🎉
Thankfully you made it and are both unharmed. Wishing you the best.
P&J
All the best..
All fingers and toes accounted for and no sewing required on heads. Good to see you both safe.
Well done guys! Especially considering the last leg. Hope to see you back on the water soon.
What a relief to see you safe and sound ❤❤❤ nothing is more precious than your lives. You had angels all around you. 🎉🎉🎉 I hope you can rest now.
Great job Team Aquarius making it safe to Martinique.
Cheers for a safe arrival. Looking forward to leaning the cause. When repairs done you will be ready for the next trip around the world. I would say relax but I am sure you have a lot of work to do before relaxing.
Soooo good to see you alive, well and even smiling again after this nightmare experience of the worst kind!!!👍❤
And, first observation: another cheers to Amel - the mast went down, and she still looks as if the hull and superstructure are not badly damaged! That's a win in all distress!
Again: all my warmest wishes to you and the boat!
Congratulations with the circumnavigation 🎉 You are a awesome couple and heroes dealing with this misfortune as professionals. Hope to see more of your adventures. Take care, good to have you back on dry land 💪🍻
