Thanks, Very infomative. Been through a few difficult conditions alone in me little boat and the biggest problem is tiredness. It requires so much concentration. But, as said here, its all down to good boat preperation and good equipment.
I sailed across the waves on the west coast of Ireland, on the crest of the swells you could see miles and the swells were miles and miles long in both directions. They were solid swells up to 25 metres high, but fat so the rising of the boat was gentle and easy. Rare sea conditions and awesome!
we are 4 years away from leaving america,little to no experience,great old school video,dashew with buttoned down collar?,the style then or ready for anything??? hahaha, awesome vid,gets us closer to our dream,awesome input from everyone in this vid valuable info for us,thanks.
I do like how they talk about using both sheets on the tri-sail to get the clew in the right spot. And it is true, the more stuff you get into, the less you fear it.
Excellent information....very helpful and having options to consider, most useful... Experienced 2 moderate heavy weather storms. ..experienced enough to know that I don't know enough! Thanks for a great video. ( What about some info on long keeled heavy to moderately heavy displacement boats?)
A video with sound advice and showing that sometimes even with good advice you need a plan B or C. It was nice they showed not everything always goes as "planned" for the video.
Very interesting and informative! I'm not among the ppl who have a "modern" finkeeled sailboat, mine is 50 years old, a longkeeled sloop, 27 ft long. I wonder if there are similar vids on sailing a longkeeled, older boat under heavy weather conditions, singlehanded? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Someone already gave you the answer: heave to and reef the main. You should not even need the jib to balance the main with a Long keel. Roll the jib and if wind still picks up, second ref... Long keels handle well and are safer in storms. Wen tired and had enough, yo can heave to on a starboad tac, so you have right of way, and go to bed. I bought a full keel Alberg 30, it needs renovation.I retire and move on the boat at end of June.
@@raymondernestgaucher3842 Thanks for getting back to me and for your advice. Wish you luck with the Alberg, a very nice boat! Mine is an Albin Vega. Smaller, but equally safe and tough.
I have not been aboard a fin keel boat that can carry a head sail in a 'heave to' maneuver. You've got to get the head sail down. Most fin keelers will heave to quite well with the just the deep reefed main.
It's insane what you can get a decent 30' sailboat for these days. Just a question: How difficult would it be to rig a staysail stay and rig on, say, a 30' Hunter sloop? I really liked that option for trimming sail I saw in this. Thanks much to anyone who replies.
And unlike John, the video wasn't stating that fin keel boats are safer or more sea worthy, just that this is what you do with them in bad conditions as this is what works best for them.
I think you can pretty much ignore what John wrote here. He acts as if double enders are the only sea-worthy boats and that Fin keel boats don't sail in heavy weather. Both of those statements are wrong.
I like this, some comment below are valid in what they say, but it's also informed and still enough good information in it so "good job",we could do with more of this on you tube,its better to share some knowledge than not, so you will have more knowledge than nothing at all in a situation, "good luck sailors".
Now, as for the video, I liked what they had but this missed a couple of items. They didn't talk much about sea anchors, or better yet, series drogues as a last resort due to tired crew. They also didn't talk about dragging a drogue or sea anchor while heaved-to. The fin keel boats are hard to keep from sailing out of their slick, which is very important, and also keeping the bow partly into the waves. By dragging something from the bow cleat on the windward's side of the boat, it will stop the boat from sailing out of the slick and also keep the bow about 60 degrees off the wind which helps keeping it stable...aka...not rolling. I use a drifter used for 50 fishing boats on my Hunter 376 and it works well and is pretty small and easy to store.
Steve Dashew, Lyn/Larry Pardey, Earl Hinz all insist the series drogue is the answer. "The drogue has been deployed through many storms including several hurricanes. No boat has ever been damaged and no crew injured."
and as a matter of fact, the boat designer who designed the double enders for, I think it was Hans Christians, later said that double enders have no real advantages but that is what the owners wanted so I designed it that way. One disadvantage of a double ender offshore is the lack of buoyancy in the stern which contributes to hobby-horsing.
Around time 20-25mins in guy talking thru upwind sailing Wish camera were behind him Don't care as much about seeing him but audio good Just want to see Sea, rocking, waves, etc. Likely salt spray on lens problems But other boat didn't work out Shows waves over Above waterline 35knots wind? If waves higher than beam (width of boat) Likely Danger & out of league (these guys are pros in big boats, don't try this at home kids, drowning (too) possible... Smaller boats (low 30 's) in squalls might be good to see more about. Blue Water boats and differentiating between...
Im sorry but John Affleck has no idea what he's talking about and should watch and listen to what they say instead of passing negative judgement. He also needs to understand the definition of the word "seaworthiness". every sailing yacht has its own characteristics so therefor not every single type of yacht can be covered in 1 hour of filming. A Colin Archer double ender is a lovely type of keel to sail particularly in a straight line when sailing upwind however down wind is a different matter also try and birth one stern to. Great video for skippers with limited amount of knowledge.
this is aimed at top end sailors who by that definition don't need to watch this .way to much waffling like to doctors talking to ea j other and forgetting the patient

The best heavy weather sailing video I have ever watched
Wow! Excellent! Most videos on rough weather sailing just talk about what to do, but you showed it. Thank you.
Thanks, Very infomative. Been through a few difficult conditions alone in me little boat and the biggest problem is tiredness. It requires so much concentration. But, as said here, its all down to good boat preperation and good equipment.
How come 10-20 years ago these documentaries were so much better than they're today?
I sailed across the waves on the west coast of Ireland, on the crest of the swells you could see miles and the swells were miles and miles long in both directions. They were solid swells up to 25 metres high, but fat so the rising of the boat was gentle and easy. Rare sea conditions and awesome!
Wow, Ireland the waves are fierce like the women!
A must see video indeed.
Great video
Thank you!
Outstanding video. Educational and interesting. I learned alot and any serious sailor should watch.
Pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Santino Zechariah Yup, have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)

one of the best videos regarding heavy weather i seen.. good job and thanx helps to fresh up a bit
Great Video thank you for posting.
thank you,this reminds me that I have a lot to learn and will take this into account when I plan my trips

Как здорово увидеть молодого Марка Шрейдера! И Майка Плэнта...

rig tensions are excessive from many rigging companieshence rig can absorb less energy prior to failure
Very good
At 54:45 did that sailor jump off the boat?
This was a good video, a lot of common sense things to think about
Heave to then reef the main ,no drama ,crew is keep safe
Good Boat, the First 38 Beneteau !
AMAZING FOOTAGE
awesome video ...thanks

Useful.
50knots of wind and spinnaker? Thats some balls

+Franklin Gray I feel any boat that Hobby Horses is a poorly designed boat and some I've seen don't take much weather to start doing this.
3:32 why did he jump in the sea?
He was pushed off the boat by the boom
Reef early, reef often...
Obrigado muito esclarecedor.
Around time 20-25mins in guy talking thru upwind sailing
Wish camera were behind him
Don't care as much about seeing him but audio good
Just want to see Sea, rocking, waves, etc.
Likely salt spray on lens problems
But other boat didn't work out
Shows waves over
Above waterline
35knots wind?
If waves higher than beam
(width of boat)
Likely Danger & out of league (these guys are pros in big boats, don't try this at home kids, drowning (too) possible...
Smaller boats (low 30 's)
in squalls might be good to see
more about.
Blue Water boats and differentiating between...
I hope people in the 90's can hear you somehow and make it differently!
@@habrasil someone may want to do an updated one, or with cats, trimarans, etc
Doing their homework on what to present and how
Incorrect; double wind speed you should multiply force by 8
You don't need to put these ties in like this - or at all. This is not where there the load is - you are just creating load which will rip the sail.
The eighties style of this video seems so dated. Good information regardless.
best video ever THANK YOU VERY MUCH
They are just there to tidy up the foot.
Im sorry but John Affleck has no idea what he's talking about and should watch and listen to what they say instead of passing negative judgement. He also needs to understand the definition of the word "seaworthiness".
every sailing yacht has its own characteristics so therefor not every single type of yacht can be covered in 1 hour of filming. A Colin Archer double ender is a lovely type of keel to sail particularly in a straight line when sailing upwind however down wind is a different matter also try and birth one stern to.
Great video for skippers with limited amount of knowledge.
That’s what I call sailing
this is aimed at top end sailors who by that definition don't need to watch this .way to much waffling like to doctors talking to ea j other and forgetting the patient
It makes me wonder if you know what you are talking about.
