Wow!....I've seen a TON of these vids....and this has to be my favorite so far! Killer sound....you can really hear the environment! Well done fella's...well done!
129richter- what is the size of the vessel in this video? It is very gripping to hear the wind accelerate when the ship reaches the tops of the swells.
This brings back bad memories from when my family and I were crossing from Ft. Lauderdale Florida to the Bahamas and we got hit by a rogue wave that must've been 100-150 feet tall. It ripped the boat apart and somehow we managed to get the distress beacon out and we actually got into the life raft. I still sail but i definitely learned my lesson not to go out in such bad conditions.
yikes, that is a small and ordinary looking yacht to be doing drakes passage, hats off to you guys. i was in a similar boat in similar conditions off south west ireland and it was intimidating enough.
Great video but where is the shiny stuff and why is the gear so worn out? I love the smell of deep ocean musty funk and wish I was alone on a raft in the Drake Passage again.
@gustboehmer wow... you have huge ones to make this passage in a "Bendy-toe" I wouldn't want to make that passage on a aircraft carrier, let alone a coastal cruiser.

Whew... impressive sailing. Awe-inspiring. Loved the sound of the wind in the rigging.
truly one of the best sailing videos I have seen.

I've seen worse seas. This is actually pretty good for the Southern Ocean.
Great stuff! Keep it up!
Great video but where is the shiny stuff and why is the gear so worn out? I love the smell of deep ocean musty funk and wish I was alone on a raft in the Drake Passage again.
Kind of looks like one of the Palagic boats in Skip Novak's fleet.
@gustboehmer sorry but this is a either a steel or aluminium boat ; certainly not a beneteau
look at the rusty foredeck
big up, that's simply awesome! :D
Sacré Boulard !!
looks like you had a nice day
out there, crossing the Drake..
lucky you ...
calm conditions in the drake passage it seems. certainly no huge waves that day.
its between argentina and the antartic peninsula,they call it drake pass,its the roughest seas on earth.
BTW, when it's the worst there is no video, YOU'RE TOO BUSY HOLDIN ONTO YOUR KNADS!
can you imagine how much more scary things are at night?
Great vid1
Terrific clip thankyou
are there any other places more dangerous than the drake passage?
why would you run the motor if the fuel filter was on wrong?
my premonition. i will lose my life here
This is the boat and these are seamen. Shure they will go back .
All the best.

36 hours were like lions in the Gulf of Lion. Merdol Sayguner you remember dear captain.
Man, that water looks black. Not friendly at all. What is the depth there?
omg i would be shitting myself on a boat like that
how long was it take?
thats Gnarly with a capital Gnar.
Drake Passage its called.
May be some ice about - difficult to see.
1938dmkdz one of mother nature finest.....
big balls and a shitload of skill!
I swim every day at Darke Passage
@Bacteriod 3000 to 5500 meters...scary
A useful video for once.
1938dmkdz
Greatest place in the world.......
You must have a fakking screw loose, mate.
behaving like my 24 feet... nasty weather
A febbraio ci provo anche io......"speriamo che me la cavo".
can you sleep in this tour xD
are you an alien?
@JaMaZe82 Then you must be "the most interesting man in the world". I will buy you a Dos Equis XX when you get back to land. ; )
Its were a guy named Drake made poo in it.
cheers.
