Seas like that, I would have instructed the helmsman to be looking over his right shoulder every 5 seconds. We saw it coming, if he had, he may have been able to square the boat in time. Thanks for posting, always like to see guys out there, havvin it when its blowing :)

You just need to come over and pay a Yank for some sailing lessons. You could get hurt in that cold water not knowing what your doing. Seriously come to America and for a few hundred quid a skilled sailor could make this a much safer sport for you. Or if you prefer a similar sounding English the Aussie's or New Zealanders know how to sail pretty damned good. I think they share your fondness for tea as well. Get some help before you get hurt:)

@dale3858 try the lower vid quality and it plays

Boat stopped moving 5 sec into the video. Continued to load but boat stopped...

Psssst! Hey you guys,,, a broach doesn't necessarily mean a knockdown.
-
Non-event...but at least they had pfd's and harnesses clipped in...
-
just change the title of the video and my rating goes way up.
-
That was a long way to nothing much.

If the helmsman took his shades off, stopped chewing gum, and stating at the wheel he might be a little quicker to react. When sailing with waves coming from behind I'd get someone to keep an eye out the back, so I have a heads up.
-
Accidental jibe . Wave has hit the stern and he hasnt been quickenough to react . Always harder on graders than planing boats to react too!

wow thats weak

Force 8-9, what a load of crap, I hope you never see a real blow.
-
What's the big deal about??? Just regular sailing. No way this is force 8-9 winds.
-
hope I do never come across people like you on the water and I also hope I never have to rescue any childish person commiting suicide your way. Think over your position!
-
haha touche, totally agree
-
You'd better taken sunglasse off and your eyes in the water instead bloody compass. And do not stir the ocean with the rudder blade.

He means mist.

ha ha yea its a strange saying. When you have force 9 winds, the surface of the water lifts into the air a few inches making a white smoke like effect blowing along the water. Sorry im not very good at expaining things
-
This is no way a force 8-9. There is no smoke bolwing across the water, the boys can still talk easily. maybe a force 6 after the 8-9 has blown past leaving the choppy seas
-
The camera guy just lost his balance... no big woop, just another day sailing in semi-stormy weather.

Sailing a Sweden 39 in force 7-8 winds in the English Channel, this video has a kick in the tail.
