@11.10..starboard!..haha

that is how i love to sail!!!! please take care of the sailors and of the boats

Trimarans are for little girls on fish ponds!😂

Can't believe it's 9 Bf. 7 maybe...?

How many of the multihulls will encounter a wave large enough to invert them into their most stable position?

great pics

Nice sailing, no big waves, is it a competition for old people ? ;) Ps ..I`m kidding ;)

Great video ... thank you for sharing this!

Remarkably flat seas if it really was gusting force nine. What was the wind direction & state of the tide?

*Promo sm*

POL Oiler Fujmo? (15:25)

I like how British people are constantly pissed off by their weather conditions but still they don't want to show it.

Does all that footage exist uncut? I would love to see more of many of those boats. Any boat that sails comfortably and well in these conditions would be a great choice for an ocean-crossing family boat. Most boats can be rigged to sail with a smaller crew. The trend toward less overhang and wider stern might be fast downwind and make for an overall better race boat, but they're a beating (sorry) in conditions like these. The more "modern" the hull shape, the rougher they seem to be taking it. This is prime boat-shopping material, right here. I've been to Bermuda twice on a J boat and I will sail to Hawaii on a J105 next July. Someday soon, I hope cross these waters with my wife. She would not enjoy the ride most of these boats are getting today. And days like this happen out there. Something along the lines of a re-rigged 1970s Swan could be the way to go.

Yup, “Eve” Swan 65 making it look relatively easy. Large has advantage! But this video certainly shows how the conditions got worse for the smaller boats as the day went on.

Beautiful. How fast does the tide run out here? The running monohull at 17:00 doesn't seem to make any speed over ground at all.

magnifique . en France les organisateurs auraient annulé

flat hull+tall cabin= recipe for disaster

as we can see, the taller the freeboard and the flatter the hull, the less seaworthyness with banging and acceleration, both old canoe shape hulls and low freeboard flat reggata hulls do fine, and foils should be installed in all sailboats for stability

Happily, whilst it was blowing its nuts off that weekend, we were tucked up in Gosport Marina with access to the pub, a fab Chinese restaurant, shops and power. It was howling. The moral is to pick your weather window. I think I made a good choice.....

thank you !

Force 7 still hard

At what time is LUCKY? did you see it in this video?

"...rose to 8 gusting 9 when the smaller yachts arrived. Coupled with a change in the tide direction, so having wind-over-tide, this resulted in some lively conditions after 3pm (8 minutes on the video)" Skip to 8:00, a VO65 fills the screen...

80% of that skippers have no clue how to sail in that wind. Wrong trim, wrong boat handling, wrong everything.

Looks like everyone was having a marvelous time. I love weather like this.

Thank you for not adding music.

Great footage. Not sure it was gusting a force 9 though. Maybe 30-35 knots.

Wow..just sitting here at a harbour waiting out a gale that is blowing through and happy not to be out there...watching this video reminds me of how much we love to sail. Every boat that competes in that race is a winner regardless of final place! Well done lads...now back to my coffee and brekky and more sailing videos! Mike 😊

It would help for the initiated to know the point of the race, where from/where to, how far, when it starts and when it ends ??

I'm not familiar with the geography at the location of this video. But I guess the seas (waves) are still quite moderate due to shelter from the Isle of Wight. I It must have been a very different (worse..) sight if this wind force still prevailed out around Fastnet with the whole of the Atlantic Ocean attacking the boats. Is there any video coverage from that region as well?

Its not a race , but a struggle to get the boats and crew in save ! 😢; but definitely a good practice in storm sailing!!!

So, bit choppy then! Well done all

Fantastic footage ! An external look at what I experienced and saw from the deck at 15:30 s/y Fujimo ab POL14833. Thank You very much for this excellent souvenir :)

Interesting to see how some of the boats with less sail out are doing better.

Cool to see Imp there.

Fantastic video Rod! I took part in this challenging race and shot some video in the calmer moments. I would love to include some of your video footage with mine with your permission.

Da eiern die Bleitransporten In schieflage hinterher 😅

anyone else humming "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors? :)

@RodOrmston : how to contact you privately ? we are one of the boat that participated and finished the race, thank you !

What an incredible event! This looks like a life changing event. Love it! (And thanks for the great footage.)

It's on my list to sail that race one day. Hats off to all that have.

Super Film, wer hier segelt ob erster oder ob letzter ist, ist ein könner❤

I love this weather..

Great video, shows that those who had set up their boats for the conditions could manage OK. Good call by Race Committee to start on time. It is an Ocean Race.

Fantastic footage. Wish there were more big boats like there were last race.

2023-1925 = 98 years ago. My guess is there have been a few years when no race was held. Fascinating to see the variety of boats participating.

Much more comfortable and probably faster on the boats with reduced sails especially small/storm jibs - the boat with their full size jib seem to be on the point of rounding up all the time.

Not sure what all the fuss was about? Conditions are not so bad as long as you sail within them

Chanan Dror < 17:37 (1 minute ago) Excellent video, thanks to the brave photographer. Also for the great sailors
