Sailing yacht accident

Where is this sea? Location?

...really bad decision to enter...add to that the unsecured crew on deck. Very lucky someone wasn't seriously hurt.. or more.

That's one hell of a wave breaking over there.

Ok lounge chair experts any one ever actually sailed? the whole show was doomed before they even entered cause 1 poor seamanship what the hell was anyone doing up front

Immediately throw something floating. Never lose sight of the victims. Approaching slowly the boat by leeward and bow to the wave (not to throw the boat on top of them).
Throw a rope and bring them slowly on board keeping them away from the prop.
While, another crewmember, to the radio, channel 14, and launch a mayday.
The attitude of those who remain on board is criminal!!

Was sitting up front the right thing to do?  Seems it was and they knew it.  One held onto the mast, and the other to the bow rail.  Not what I would have done but it worked for them.  Guy on the rail was doomed.  Cockpit didn't fare so well either.  Harness and tether anyone?

that's what happens when you con't know how to swim. sure, you can float....all the way out to wherever the currentwants to take you...usually, the open ocean so you can become food for the fishes.

The music sucks . . .

Un peu long à nager 10' sans gilet semble-t-il, au moins une veste flottante je pense!

that background music uuugggggg

If this is indeed at https://www.google.com/maps/place/20750+Zumaia,+Gipuzkoa,+Spain/@43.3045545,-2.2470608,523m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0xd51cf7a6eaa626d:0x92e5ef88999021a!8m2!3d43.2988236!4d-2.256885?hl=en then the overboard crew were in water too shallow for the yacht to approach.

Motor boat Very slow to react

A great shame you all weren't on the helm rather than watching YouTube. Your expertise is clearly wasted.

I would have waited for better sea conditions and found a better harbor where I wouldn't have risked the lives of my crew and myself. If I were caught in this situation, i would have had the crew go down below and hold on tight. my God what horrible music!!!

Things not to do on a sailboat:

1. Enter narrow inlet with 10+ ft seas
2. Not be tethered to a boat
3. Not do proper MOB
4. Abandon crew

We can learn from this..

Sailing yacht Idiots!!!

bavaria yachts and morons are a popular combination

Life jackets, nope, tethered in nope. Concern for the safety of crew nope. Crap skipper yup

Stupid Greeks, you could throw a rope and pull them out

I'm a total amateur sailor but, in the interest of learning, I need a lot more information on what just happened here. Am I right in thinking that the boat had both power and a working tiller? Or am I just smoking crack?

Help me understand why he was so close to the rocks? He came back around towards the end of the video, too.
