Sports boat severe broach with man overboard

What happened? What is a broach. It happened so fast i did not see what caused it.

This is why I don't take anyone on the water without a life vest. Treading water continuously for ten minutes or potentially longer would be difficult for many people.

Way to much cloth up on the MOB recovery. Lucky the skipper was conscious and able to grab a rope and haul himself in! But we'll done all the same!

That was too exciting even from the couch.

Mucha caña, travesía peligrosa....

Much ado about sharks. Last thing I would care about. If you're not part of a food chain and just dangling in the water for ten minutes, there's almost zero chance of a shark attack...people watch too many movies. Daytime too, no worries. Great job with dealing with a tough situation.

Great video! I know it's a balancing act with that much wind, but I was wondering if the broach or round-up was caused by a wind gust, rudder venting, larger wave or a temporary imbalance and excessive heeling (or all of the above)?

Wear PFD's ... Good video

Wie gekyk na die man in die water? Jy moet altyd he een man se oe vasgenael om die man in die water. Goed werk maar hulle geluk was.

As stated below, one crew member always should make eye contact with the MOB. Not be to picky, but, Mr. Roberts if you review the video your pitman does NOT maintain eye contact, several times he gets involved with other activities. But all's well that ends well....

Best real MOB video I've ever seen. Can I ask why they approached the MOB on the windward side? I suppose it makes it easier to see the target and round up quickly on passing without running over the victim, and easier to pass a line to him without sending somebody off the rail. The books all talk about placing the boat above, so it's easier to climb aboard, and of course there would be less chop to the leeward. But I suppose in practice with a sailboat, other factors come to play. Is that the method you practice?

Good jobs boy had a similar experience sailing an S80 out of Bunbury Western Australia  broached at 20 knots  boat  laid flat in the water

Good job guys and awesome video!

Che barca è quella nel.video??

Had almost exactly the same experience on my Antrim 27

a cette vitesse là on s'attache à une ligne de vie

Nice that you went back for the skipper. Many crew would have mutinied and continued on to Australia is similar circumstances.

good job boys

not to point out the elephant in the room but... Sharks?

The mans lucky to be alive. I've sailed before but like motor yachting more due to the dangers of sailing
