Part 1 - The Pelagic Philosophy. An introductory film on the making of the series. Watch the full series at www.yachtingworld.com/storm-sailing-techniques
I was hoping for more instruction on storm sailing techniques. There was only a mention of reefing the main What about drogues or sea anchors or storm sails and how to pick your way through big waves? Nice scenery, though.
congratulations ! this video bring me on this sea 10 years ago and this region is very misterious and fascinating , cape horn is a magic point. Hello from adriatic sea !
Wonderfully shot and narrated. As a fair weather cruising sailor, I'm in awe at what you guys seek out and do. Would like to experience something like this one day. Thank you!
There is zero talk about storm techniques in this video. It shouldn’t be used to lure tactics and techniques. It should be called, “Pretty footage of people motoring and sailing.”
This is absolutely fascinating. I am completely amazed and truly intrigued with your drive to push the limits. You have quite the lucky crew. One could only dream of experiencing an adventure such as this. May fair winds and following seas grace your journeys. If you are ever looking for an additional crew member I am more than willing to assist!
Did the The north sea race from Hull to Ijmuiden a few times.as crew for my then Landlord.Loved it. First time coming back from ijmuiden we missed judged the weather and flipped the ship over , lucky for us it righted it self again me and the helmsman were washed over board, but we had life lines on .but all was ok in the end. Did the race another 3 times , would love to go sailing again.
2:35 That grey vessel on the left...can anyone tell her name or what she is? She looks WW2 or early 1950s era. Beautiful classic lines. And what a dream, to sail with Skip Novak!
Storm : no need to go that far, Channel or Irish Sea in Jan. can be as challenging. Technique : absolutely none. Cape Horn : a snapshot. Drake Passage : just a name. Specific weather patterns of the region (i.e.. catabatic winds) : absolutely none. Promise fulfilled as of the title : ZERO % FALSE CLAIMS : 200% Will watch another video from the same : NEVER.
I've been in a force 9 - 10 for 3 days and nights and moored in 65 knots of wind. I would consider twice before rounding the horn ! Well done everyone.
Great video by Richard Langdon... captures a beautiful, forbidding place and an enviable 'assignment' for you guys! How come Skip doesn't have any grey hairs after 24 seasons Down There?
I would like to see you having ago at rounding Cape horn in a Southern Winter storm as I have done with a 40ft Trimaran. It's no picnic especially when you can't whether its day or night and you have great watery mountains coming out of nowhere.
I know photography can be misleading, but I've been out sailing in 30 knots easterly winds here in Port Elizabeth South Africa and the swells (waves) look much bigger than in this video. Like I said, maybe the video doesn't show how rough the sea really is. Maybe you should come practice your techniques here in South Africa along the Wild Coast or the Cape of Storms.
Дельфины плывут перед кораблями потому, что принимают корабли за китов. Киты обнаруживают косяки рыбы раньше, чем дельфины, у них мощнее гидролокаторы, которые действуют на более длинных расстояниях. Это моя догадка, я не знаю, что думают по этому поводу биологи. Dolphins swim in front of the ships because they take the ships for whales. Whales find shoals of fish earlier than dolphins, they have more powerful sonars, which operate at longer distances. This is my guess, I do not know what biologists think about behavior of the dolphins.
Mooring . He uses those lines to moor to the shore with a 3 point mooring system . It’s in one of the other videos in this series . Fascinating to watch how he does it
Say "Oh Chit", all passengers and yourself don life vests, Start your engine , ease off all sheets, turn bow into wave, throttle up to full, say prayer, ready the life raft, tie off EPIRB to your belt loop, prepare to abandon if needed. I have never sailed a day in my life but, someday want to. From watching videos, they say to take waves bow first. Definitely, never take a large wave with it on side of boat or behind, I have seen videos of a boat summersaulting.
Rogue wave? You don't seem to understand the concept of a rogue wave.. ...Either way, what gets you usually isn't the waves but the wind, if you're in a sailboat with a ballast keel and not one of those tugboat "yachts" you're almost unsinkable, the crew will give up before the boat. Now hurricane winds however..
That’s not a storm. Barely a blow. A storm is when the anemometer is pegged and you’ve got a 12’ cross on 50’ swells. Recommended tactic: smoke two joints and then smoke two more. (And run for all you’re worth)
Skip Novak takes on dangers so fearsome, he keeps the contact info of his insurer right on the hull of his boat, lest he ever need to make a claim. The likes of you, on the other hand, are lucky if you even leave port.
I have a good sailing technique for storms.... Don't do it. I started to be a keen weather watched after a 1974 experience 100 miles west of Patras, Greece.
mnpd3 you are absolutely right. actually the Mediterranean can be the stormiest place to sail in at times. no need to go down to south America if you want exciting sailing. I like the concept of sailing technique for storms ...don't do it. sensible advice

I watch the other video. Skip doesn’t like them they’re dangerous to implement in heavy weather
Yep, 4th reef instead of storm sail.
congratulations ! this video bring me on this sea 10 years ago and this region is very misterious and fascinating , cape horn is a magic point. Hello from adriatic sea !
I wish this video was way longer love seeing skip and his friends sail
There is no mention of techniques in this video?
There are 10 videos.
BECAUSE IT SUCKED!!!!!
I'm digging it so much, it gives me goosebumps. One day it will be my turn to sail Cape Horn.⚓️
Thanks for sharing 👍
cape horners ... even the words Kap Horn makes me shiver
what the heck. Anticipated technical stuff as what are you doing with the cool looking deck gear?

have you done it
What about the announced sailing techniques???
They only put those in the mail order expensive version
It's a joy to watch God bless you and safe you thank you for the film

Ypuve got to buy the whole vid3o
This is nuts !!!!
I've been in a force 9 - 10 for 3 days and nights and moored in 65 knots of wind. I would consider twice before rounding the horn ! Well done everyone.
Oh - in a 35 foot Warriar Mk III with 2 on board.
Mandy Taylor That sounds like hell.
Yes - it was hell - thankfully only myself and my partner on board - my son (now aged 9) was 9.1 months away !
Great video by Richard Langdon... captures a beautiful, forbidding place and an enviable 'assignment' for you guys! How come Skip doesn't have any grey hairs after 24 seasons Down There?
Merci pour cet bel vidéo
Rather than techniques this is just the sailing 'elite' saying 'i rounded Cape Horn' na naaa! How many times does she say 'Cape Horn'?
Exactly
Look at the video description, you idiots. "An introductory film on the making of the series". There's 9 more parts after this.
I would like to see you having ago at rounding Cape horn in a Southern Winter storm as I have done with a 40ft Trimaran. It's no picnic especially when you can't whether its day or night and you have great watery mountains coming out of nowhere.
YES WHERE WERE THE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
The easy way W to E.
Like your ship 👍🖐⛵
Nice cutter

I read a cape horn book with skip novak in it
Who cares?
"Storm sailing techniques"- find some storms and sail in them.
I completely missed any storm sailing techniques.
you want real storm,come to the south pacific in around December and April,you would love it!
What are those spools of line on deck for?
Mooring . He uses those lines to moor to the shore with a 3 point mooring system . It’s in one of the other videos in this series . Fascinating to watch how he does it
I was hoping to learn something from this video (re the Title). It turned out to be some woman's travel log ! and not very interesting at that.
Durban South Africa. 29ft steel hull yacht.. 30ft Rouge wave. heave to or run? lets say its daytime and i have enough time to turn or c it comming.
Say "Oh Chit", all passengers and yourself don life vests, Start your engine , ease off all sheets, turn bow into wave, throttle up to full, say prayer, ready the life raft, tie off EPIRB to your belt loop, prepare to abandon if needed.

Now hurricane winds however..
Not a single mention of a storm sailing technique in the entire video.
Just an advert. No technical discussions. I liked it, though. More accurate tag-lines, pls.
Hope you enjoy this video can we ame for 100 likes that would be a awesome. :)
My friend was on Flyer in 1976 Whitbread! Roger Janes do you know him?
Why do this?
Ahh, the joys of fairweather sailing here on Mobile Bay
I have sailed an Optimist in 55kt winds in 4.5 meter swells. not many people have done that. :D
sounds wild and rough. I planed inside a harbour at 29 knots.
I wouldn't like to be in an Opti anywhere close to a swell! ;) Nice balls! ;)
Been in the 4 ft swells but not the winds only like 30 knots and that was on my sail in to the bay.
At Cape Horn?
Jeeeez! I want to sail with Skip! Great video.
Somewhat underwhelmed.
That’s not a storm. Barely a blow. A storm is when the anemometer is pegged and you’ve got a 12’ cross on 50’ swells. Recommended tactic: smoke two joints and then smoke two more. (And run for all you’re worth)
I was hoping to learn something but unfortunately all I saw was an extended advertisement for Pantaenius insurance, shame...
Reef N°3 - Little jib ! And after ?...
1:40 before anything happens. 4:00 and they raise a sail. Average and very sailable conditions at Cape Horn.
How is that Skip Novaks storm tech part 1
Is it fair to say; you sail through the Cape, not around it
Not 1 technique shared
"Click Bait" not a single "storm sailing technique" in the entire 6:48 video..................:(
Skip Novak takes on dangers so fearsome, he keeps the contact info of his insurer right on the hull of his boat, lest he ever need to make a claim.
The likes of you, on the other hand, are lucky if you even leave port.
whats the opening music
A Cape Horner is an maritime officer of a commercial sailing ship having rounded Cape Horn. Not many left. They even closed down the club.
what was the point of this video? Learned nothing about technique of any kind
Skip, when R U going to post new videos, of your 77 ft underway? The old videos R boring.
Has any sailor circumnavigated along the 60th parallel?
Skip v good video you are 100 % right
do you know who Skip Novak actually is? He's not bullocks. google the name before spouting non sense.
"Storm Sailing Techniques" .... 000 techniques discussed..... (-_-;) (clickbate titile)
why don’t you call it something that it actually is
Just clickbait. No sailing until 4:00. Sailing done by 6:00. No tips or techniques demonstrated or discussed.
k cemu se pouzivaji ty spulky se zelenymi lany na palube za steznem?
whay is this place so mystic?
This is Cap Horn
I will sail around the horn or die trying
So far nothing about technuques
Stay in port if theres storm thats the technique
This has nothing to do with sailing at all.
Sailing around cape horn doesn't mean flying down there, jaunting around the cape in nice weather and then flying home. Bollocks!
Nothing about storming techniques in this video.
The technique was go home by land? You just wasted 7 minutes of my life.
Where were the technicians? This was a horrible video without any insight how to properly sail in heavy weather. NOT AS ADVERTISED.
I have a good sailing technique for storms.... Don't do it. I started to be a keen weather watched after a 1974 experience 100 miles west of Patras, Greece.
mnpd3 you are absolutely right. actually the Mediterranean can be the stormiest place to sail in at times. no need to go down to south America if you want exciting sailing. I like the concept of sailing technique for storms ...don't do it. sensible advice
CLICK-BAIT TITLE.FOR AN UNINSPIIRING UNINFORMATIVE UNFORTUNATE VIDEO!!!!!!!!
clickbait
Wtf
Fk all on techniques.
Soooo many techniques demonstrated 😒
Read the video description. "An introductory film on the making of the series". Rest of the series features the techniques.
Next time pick a title that actually fits and you might not catch so much shit
I like how they stow the anchor but latter while sailing its there tied down.
Such BS
Totally pointless video
Less drivel and more technique please, these videos are a great concept poorly executed.
No techniques in the video. Huge disappointment.
Please stop waxing poetic and give actual technique or tips...there are people who are genuinely looking to learn and reduce the chance of dying.
OK, I'll skip them.
