Embarking from the coast of Spain, we set sail towards the stunning island of Ibiza. Along the way, we face choppy seas that add an element of adventure to our journey. Despite the discomfort, our trusty Gib'Sea 402, a masthead sloop built in 1989, handles the conditions with ease, showcasing its seaworthiness.

Witness the breathtaking views of the rolling waves, mesmerising sunset, and the raw beauty of the open sea.
As we reach Ibiza, we face the challenge of a powerful 45-knot gale at anchor. Experience the suspense and Flick's understandable fear as we endure the relentless gusts. We share insights on how to prepare for such extreme weather and offer valuable lessons learned from this intense situation.

Good episode and thank you for telling me how to set up the pole👍
Thanks Aleksi ☺️
Have a longer snubber or bridal, so that you can let another 10m out if needed. Also the longer snubber has more stretch to absorb shock loads
This is a great idea, I think we will use in the future!
Great video, well edited. Just curious, you didn’t mention an anchor snubber. I apologize if you have mentioned it in the past. If you aren’t using one it would be a good addition to your anchor gear. Looking forward to next week’s episode.
Thanks guys 🙏🏼 we had an anchor snubber for sure ☺️ we always run it back to three cleats, two cleats on the bow and the cleat on the windlass itself. The main issue was the snatch loads. If we started to let more chain out, we have to remove the snubber to do that. As the wind blows you back very quickly how do you prevent any snatch sudden loads on the chain/ windlass? We could motor forward to try to minimise this but it would need someone on the bow shouting back to the one in the cockpit to communicate, which would be very tricky. That amount of wind is like a plane flying overhead 😂 so because we weren’t dragging it seemed an unnecessary additional risk to try and let more chain out. But we would definitely let more chain out in advance of bad weather in the future just for peace of mind ☺️
@@sailingnendaz you definitely did the right thing by monitoring it and since not dragging let it be. Messing with it would have caused problems you weren’t having. Thank you for the reply. RUclips brought me to your channel earlier and I instantly subscribed. Safe sailing captains.
