    Can’t believe just how interesting I have found this, really shows just what goes into running a Superyacht, and I have to admit, it’s far more than I ever expected! Interesting from the medical perspective as you automatically imagine being near urgent care but when they say on the crossing they are 6 sailing days from land it makes you realise just how big the Atlantic is and how far away you are from help

    It always looks great when a ship plows itself through the waves! Many superyachts are restricted for sailing in too heavy conditions, for example, some are not allowed to sail out in certain waters with windforces above beaufort 6 or in a certain seastate (for example seastate 6 (which is not the same as the beaufort 6!). Of course that hampers them a bit, but in many cases there is a lot one can do to avoid such conditions with the help of modern weather predictions and still being able to navigate certain waters!
    Happy sailing everybody!

      I think just about anything is fine as long as the cabinet doors stay closed. The same goes for drawers - if a drawer full of tableware breaks out of its locks, chances are it will also rip out of its rails and just fall down entirely. Just about the same amount of breakage.

    Ha, try 20-25 ft seas in Drakes passage with a blown engine and functioning on electric drive on the back from Antarctica. 8 ft seas…… bin in bigger in a sail boat Newport or Bermuda race. If they knew they were going into rough seas, you batten everything down inside and out. This seems a bit funky to me.

  • @marvindebot3264
    @marvindebot3264 9 днів тому +3

    Even more than fire drills I used to love MOB drills. The skipper would announce that a drill would take place sometime in the next 24 hours and then at some point he'd help me dress in a survival suit with a PEPIRB strapped to my thigh (just in case), a waterproof VHF on the other and a MOB alarm dongle on my wrist and I'd throw myself off the stern. One and a half ship lengths later the alarm would go off on the bridge and the drill would commence.
    Doing it at night never became less than freaky, even when you knew full well that two people on board (one other random crew member not on watch was always informed just before I jumped) knew you were there, seeing that little island of light sailing away when you were 100s of even 1000s of miles from land puts the hooks in you every damn time. I can't image how it would feel happening for real, utterly horrifying I imagine.
    Yes, you can do it with dummies but it never gives the full sense of urgency to the crew and I never felt any real danger, you don't even get wet. It's safer than diving or swimming on an offshore reef in reality since you are in a survival suit.

    When you say "Judy couldn't handle it so she went on holiday" (26:43), what does that mean before an Atlantic crossing? Does a crew member going on holiday just before a crossing mean they will fly to the new destination across the ocean and meet up with the ship after the crossing? Or do they miss the entire rotation and their rotation partner who is currently on holiday has to end their holiday and fly immediately to meet the ship? How often does that happen to crew members?
