One thing I noticed is when they slam over, you dont hear a buch of loose items crashing, rolling, breaking all over the place. He's battened down ready for the conditions, well handled.
Exactly what I was thinking. I work on a shrimp trawler and live on a sailboat, everything I try to film the bad stuff it looks glass slick. That joker had to have been a monster, he didn't even seemed phased with his "shit" either! 🤣 sounds like a Mad Lad Kiwi
Absolutely. Waves when filmed on camera look much much less impressive / scary / high than they are in real life. So, when you see a "medium" wave on camera footage, it most likely was an insane wave irl.
I see this for the first time, and I agree with the reflections about 'wave height'. I remember sailing south from Plymouth, Devon, and when we'd passed the Breakwater, I was thinking, "How can I sail against that?" (Which one can, by the way?) I was seriously impressed-or perhaps 'worried' is a better phrase. And that was on a sunny day. Hove to is a good idea, often overlooked by many sailors. I think many are afraid because they feel 'dead in the water' or don't know how to do it.
I first watched with the volume down , then reading the comments , i just had to rewatch it . Sounded more like a peeved exclamation to me , than surprise . Like spilled me tea , just lucky it wasn't me in the vid . It would be untransmissionable . I believe the term , fruity , would in order here , because i probably would have spilt my tea . But i would agree , this does indeed show the need to harness up , in these conditions , and i also agree , with the comment on video length . Top marks to the author .
@@AthelstanEngland Yeah i know , it's contagious ent it . A really good bit of film work , of a rarely caught on film event . Had that have been me , it would have been untransmisable , because i would have used a totally different narrative . I believe the term "fruity" is most appropriate .
@@AthelstanEngland Dam it , every time i come back , i just gotta see this one more time , it's all your fault . Anyway , better out , than in , as they say .

Me , i reckon i'm gonna have to take a closer look at this guy , if he's producing this kind of stuff .
What's scary is how quickly a rolling wave can turn into a breaking wave. During the day you had an instant to see it coming,at night you likely wouldn't until you felt the boat roll over and the wave come aboard.
Happened to me in my 28' pearson triton, caught in a storm just outside the chesapeake, 30kn winds on the beam. Electrical was fried and I discovered my cockpit drains were too small. Bailing from the bilge into the sink, good memories
You’re fortunate you were in the cockpit with eyes up and noticed it in time to take cover and brace. Had you been below, unsuspecting, and thrown about, you might have been badly insured. That Vancouver 28 seemed to recover very nicely. Impressive! Seeing how fast that came up on you might help convince others that they need to strap in more often.
good reaction. but question? why was the boat on that heading? shouldnt it have been heading up about 10 or more degrees higher? takin that on the starboard bow would have been easier, no?
The boat as a low beam/displacement so its CSF is low. As a result it would take a lot to capsize her, as this vid apply displays. These boats have crossed many oceans.
Happened to me on my Hunter 376 in the middle of the Caribbean sea. I was sleeping in the cockpit on the low side and at 3 am got a wave on top of me. Always make sure you are clipped in when sleeping in the cockpit alone.
@@Muffdivin The east side of the Caribbean isn't all that bad...just a bit choppy and you get 'compressed winds' trying to get around the islands. The northern Caribbean isn't all that bad either. The area just west of Jamaica is a dream come true as the shallows in that area break up the swell. It can be very rough near Mexico though. The west side of the Caribbean north of Providencia is very bad due to all the eddie currents. The middle, especially north of Colombia, is bad. The best times to sail that is usually late March and October. It's not as bad going west of course, but going north/south it is rough.
We used to sail on a 28 footer with my uncle but only like starboard to the to the water for the wind was so strong but never anything like that oh my God. but you know these boats can take it I mean they really can there more resilient than most people would think.
THAT boat took it. There are plenty others that would incur damage that are being sailed today. They are squeaking their way along with each passing wave at 4 kts and their owners think that's normal.
!!! Pls ... Tell me what you do if your boat is floated. scoop a bucket at the time? ~ what is your best preventative measure to rescue yourself and the boat ? Thanks
That was a remarkably calm comment after than kind of event. Hard to make out, but did you get to about 60 degrees of heel? Must have felt like you were on your head. You can see why so much effort goes into Category A yachts and you might curse bashing your shin on the companionway lip a little less for how these details help keep us all alive and safe. Rather you than me, and I am amazed at how calm you sound. Amazing control 😊
Near the end of the last strong gale I weathered while rounding Cape Horn in an easterly direction, I had my one and only knockdown of my 3 month sail in the Southern Ocean. It was during the night and the mast definitely smacked the water because it knocked off one of my radar reflectors in addition to breaking one of my stern rail mounted solar panels, blowing out my staysail, bending the stern rail, blowing out my weather cloths, and causing a real mess in the cabin. Luckily, I was secure in my quarter berth with the windvane steering and didn't get hurt because I was singlehanding. It's wild down there!
Nice recovery. Just curious as to the lack of paddle on the wind vane steering even though it was all set up for self steering. Had you just lost the paddle and that’s why you were side on to the seas?
I have sailed an iroquoi (light 30ft catamaran) I really wonder how it would behave in this situation? It's either slide with the wave or end up upside down, scary.
Should have been fine. 'Semi-knockdown' is a huge overstatement. You can see right through the port lights that the rail of the boat barely even went underwater. The wave didn't so much as splash the cockpit. Knockdown my ass. The boat shrugged it off like it was nothing. A wave a fraction of the size could have caused a roll like that.
The timing of you and that wave meeting in the middle of the ocean is crazy. If you were 50' behind or ahead it probably wouldn't have happened. I guess it's just statistics in the end. Awesome videos, I can't believe you don't have tens of thousands of subs?
How are you supposed to properly face these waves in an ideal world head on over the break or is it safer to ride it out until the swell stops . I always imagine having 28-30 sail boat but these rough waters cant escape my head . Ive only had sIling trips in coastal relativly calm waters .
@@LetterSignedBy51SpiesWasA-Coup He's standing in the open companionway, you can see into the saloon and through the Portside ports at one point in the video.
Your boat recovered well. Easy to armchair quarterback the situation - I don't want to do that, but I do want to ask why you didn't head up to meet the wave at a slightly steeper angle? Thanks for posting!
And the finer points between semi-knockdown and full blown knockdown are? It’s never happened to me so I can’t imagine the difference ( especially in the gut just before, then during, and afterwards). Of course the final judgement is it was a fine boat you sailed!
I could be wrong - please correct me if I am - a true knockdown is generally wind induced and involves a loss of rudder control. We got knocked down sailing a 30' Hunter - it felt like the wind just grabbed the top of the mast and pulled it down until it was about 1 meter from the surface of the water. We were completely on the port side! Fortunately, the hull shape caused the boat to round-up head to wind and allowed us to stand back up quickly.

A straight to the point video. Great
That water is the most beautiful blue I have ever seen in my life.
Then you will love the work of Yves Klein, google him. Great stuff
no it isnt
The Vancouver 28 is a capable yacht ⛵❤️
Yep.
You safe in a yacht it will up right mate nice video this will show a lot of people how thing can change at sea. Good luck sailing mate
I had something similar a few years ago which filled my cockpit and drenched me as I was steering at the time! My language was less civilised! 👍👍👍
And that was on a nice sunny day. Imagine having the dark clouds and stormy weather to go with it
Jeez, if there were an award for meanest comment on the internet, or biggest prick or whatever...
Semi knockdown

@Rusty Climber vancouver 27
Contessa 26 ect
@Rusty Climber Whatever size is a blue water boat?
No matter what size boat you're on, smaller ones have made it and bigger ones haven't.
@Your Mom the Vancouver 27 is a purpose built blue water sailboat, look up its history
@Your Mom so what do consider a blue water boat the titanic
@Your Mom it was spacifcly designed and built for a couple to cross the Pacific
Tough boat, she didnt so much as squeak.
@Rusty Climber do explain? What are you trying to say about the length of the boat?
@@danielminter2253 I think he's saying it's a tough boat - in the sense she did not squeak & rattle upon impact
Mike D. It seems Rusty Climber deleted his comment haha, but thanks
weell, took it like a champ!! good job man!
Amazing how quickly she recovered!
damn that was a big one, glad you and the boat made it
Solid boat design that.
What a thrill eh? Nice vid.
Real Sailor right here… Pirate spirit indeed
Prudent sailor...safe boat.
So many hyped up videos about big waves that really aren't. But this was some serious s**t.
Glad brother came through OK.
That was one scary, but very pretty wave!
She was waving at you, you can ask her number now ;)
good reaction. but question? why was the boat on that heading? shouldnt it have been heading up about 10 or more degrees higher? takin that on the starboard bow would have been easier, no?
Nice.Your boat Vancouver 28 look great to handle this big wave.👌
Both are doing just FINE at the ocean bottom now !!!
"Sh1t"
Very understated sir 😂
Good boat for open water -- long keel, keel-hung rudder, etc.
The boat as a low beam/displacement so its CSF is low. As a result it would take a lot to capsize her, as this vid apply displays. These boats have crossed many oceans.
No more words needed.
ah she popped right back up! good boat.
what game is this
Camera man never dies
no idea how massive that wave was but it was cresting, boat smashing power there...........
I wonder how was the sail area, or trim of sails. that moment...
As roy schneider said, "We're going to need a bigger boat"
Evidence of how the sudden unexpected can cause disaster if fate and a lack of preparedness is against you. Scary!
saved by full keel
0:08 the horizon line is at the good position, the caméra not. ?
What do you mean?
I think he means that nothing really happened,it was because of the camera position for a few seconds that’s it. It was definitely not sideways
@@thebear6529 Exactly. :)
@@thebear6529 the boat is past 45 degrees. Huh? I think he is saying you can see the extent of it based on the horizon line at that time
A brave man ! 👍
Happened to me on my Hunter 376 in the middle of the Caribbean sea. I was sleeping in the cockpit on the low side and at 3 am got a wave on top of me. Always make sure you are clipped in when sleeping in the cockpit alone.
What time of year if I may ask? Want to sail the Caribbean but am very intimidated
@@Muffdivin The east side of the Caribbean isn't all that bad...just a bit choppy and you get 'compressed winds' trying to get around the islands. The northern Caribbean isn't all that bad either. The area just west of Jamaica is a dream come true as the shallows in that area break up the swell. It can be very rough near Mexico though. The west side of the Caribbean north of Providencia is very bad due to all the eddie currents. The middle, especially north of Colombia, is bad. The best times to sail that is usually late March and October. It's not as bad going west of course, but going north/south it is rough.
And that, my friends, is why it's a good idea to buy a rock solid yacht for ocean cruising.
Good shot respect for sharing your video
Imagine been hit by this wave in the dark .....definitely would have done a whoopsie in my pants ....
Nice and raw
Swearing starts only after terror subsides.
How do sail boats ride these waves
No problem shes a well built boat
I wonder if a catamaran like lagoon could withstand 😊such a wave?
What just happened there?

When the waves hiss, they are harmless.
When they curl, you are going to get slapped hard.

Stormy seas with blue skies?
Maybe real Poseidon adventure is the videos we watched all along
We didn’t hear it raining cabin contents good sailor

That's quite a discrete ans controlled 'shit'
He says "sht" so calmly when he was about to be capsized and stranded in the ocean lol
Why where you sailing PARALELL to the waves ??
"Shit" seems to cover it.

Gotta love a good heavy keel! Powerboat would be in deep shyte.
Rogue wave?
In order for it to be classified as a rogue wave it has to be twice as high as the waves around it.
Also rogue waves tend to come from the opposite direction of the oncoming waves in most cases which is why they take so many people by surprise.
The timing of you and that wave meeting in the middle of the ocean is crazy. If you were 50' behind or ahead it probably wouldn't have happened. I guess it's just statistics in the end. Awesome videos, I can't believe you don't have tens of thousands of subs?
Because most of his vids are under a minute? Potential was there..
How do people even sleep on a passage especially at night?
Why am I so addicted?
forgot to eat dinner.
