Football, soccer, icehockey, here you're houndreds of miles from shore.
This must be the most macho competition in the world.
If anybody ever talks down about sailing, show them this video.
Que hablará peor.
Extraordinarily tough race & conditions - great footage. Thanks for the upload.
Reasons you go Ocean sailing;
Your life is balanced by the decisions you and your fellow crew make so you become fully human and responsible for both yourself and others.
The potential for a lonely death is always there but you rely on the reason above and that's not an understanding you reach on shore.
It's mind bending.. You are one of the privileged few to get to experience our planet in it's raw form. Most people live in warm, safe environment's where the weather is a minor issue. You get to nearly die and come back. Some might say it's madness but I think it's a privilege to experience it. It's humbling but gives you enormous self confidence.
Anybody who has been to sea knows that you walk taller after coming in from a fast or challenging sail.
Holy shit impressive stuff. I want to go sailing. NOW.
Truly remakiable footage. Spot on as to the experience. Will watch agsin and again and tell all my friends. Thanks so much for posting
love the bit where he's singing i can see clearley now the rain has gone!
Volvo Ocean Race is totally AWESOME!!!!!
Awesome clip with great music !
The ultimate yate racing is the Vendeé Globe. But this is awesome!!! Want to get in!!!
All is ultimate when you race there.
I am a former Alaska fisherman. I feel you! Amazing :)
Fantastic! I love this race.
Impressive sailing!!!
And this is only the physical toughness. I imagine the mental toughness required is on a completely different level.
Going to miss you guys!
Respect for all ! Amazing....
It's a heck of a lot more fun to watch that way. :P
A hard race leaving on the team a great experience , I´m sure!
Simply amazing, a day of rough seas. Go beating! But it is 140 days of racing.
Wonderful video.
Awesome!
Vendee Globe is...by a good leg, harder than VOR. But, RESPECT to anyone prepared, and capable enough to sail around the world in anything, with or anyone. It's serious shit, and especially in the awesome vastness of the pacific, anyone considering it, needs to make sure they really take it seriously, and learn all you can before attempting it.
big balls man!
i just started to love this sport looks hard
The toughest team race in sailing would be more accurate and respectful to the Vendee Globe which is the toughest race in sailing.
T3C9 C Vendee globe is not a team race and you have auto pilot. People could explain why better than me. But this is the toughest
Even Vendee skippers who've sailes both say the volvo is the toughest of all.
amazing video...
Just great
nice, nicer, volvoocean!
Fenomenal!!!!
I love how the guy casually points out the wave at 2:27 right before it hits
YES!
ooohhh...so tough ...
Really amazing race....
I'm looking for the main title of the song. Anyone knows it?
muito bom.... awesome!!!!
Me encanta es espectacular .
nice...
How fast do these boats go? Say in a F6 Rough conditions at close reach. Would they get 20+ kts?
Love to participate!!!!
What music is used for the dramatic effect? anyone have an idea?
Is any of this or similar footage available for purchase? I am working on a stormy seas corporate video montage and I would like to use a few of these shots.
Hola +Blue Moon, you can request a ratecard from television@volvooceanrace.com.
you can pay for youtube red US 9.99 a month and download the vids
HOW DO YOU BECOME A CREW MEMBER?!!!
Go to yacht club, become a junior and study all the tactics and yacht class preferences, then sea police tactics and e.t.c then you buy yacht and hire crew or join one by yourself. And then you need to train at least 8 years to sail like this....
Greattttt........
This looks like a race with a TEAM, the Golden Globe (much more dangerous and exciting) is a ONE MAN, SOLO trip around the Southern Ocean.
That would be the Vendee Globe race. Why dont they design these boats as they do on the Vende Globe with covers over the crew so they can concentrate on sailing instead of hanging on. Dont tell me its weight when there is two tons of water on the boat.
dont get me wrong, i have full dodger/bimini on my boat, but they slow the boat significantly due to added windage/turbulence
My Dad has been sailing a Najad 441 for nearly 6 years on a round the world trip, I was with him for 8 months and those armoured glass plates make life a hell of a lot better. It takes the suffering out of getting soaked and pounded by tons of water. If it keeps the crew safe then they are more effective.
The answer: yeah, they go easy 20+ and to become a crew member, you must be a well known pro sailor
do they carry a back up main sail ?
+Ανδρέας Μαγγανάς It would be completely insane if they didn't. They're sailing in whatever direction they need to go for the race. Sails don't weigh all that much, and not having a main sail means you just lost the race.
+Darth Barbie makes sense, i would to but i asked on a rules/allowed to perspective
alguien sabe como se llama la cancion?
Watch this video on mute with Sail by AWOLNation playing in another tab. Sync the first wave over the bow with the first time the singer says "SAIL" in the song and it's epic.
Why do have an "upside down bow" up forrard to break that spray and big waves
It must slow them down becoming a submarine all the time.
mi piace molto .. mi incuriosisce la musica di fondo .. qualcuno mi puo' aiutare .
1:23 :o What is the name of this team?
Immagini fantastiche
what's not to like? :D
Since the boat is going to plow through the wave you would think they would build the boat to shed/deflect the water from smashing the sailor at the wheel.
2:42 scary moment for telefonica
1:11 I can see clearly, now the rain is gone..
It's a raceboat, designed for speed.
Thug dope

Wow, I'd be afraid of getting washed overboard. I wonder why they don't design these boats to give the crew a little more protection, instead of having those totally exposed decks with all that water coming over green?
That one guy dropped his cell phone.
Submarine or sailboat? Make up your mind!
ONORE e RISPETTO pe questi UOMINI!!!
J'aime le parfum de l'iode au petit matin...
bain de jouvence.... bien salé! xcellent.
See how they lost control in 1:22 ;)
Single around the world Oceania race
Uauuuuuu!
Dat is water!
When seeing this, I remember 2012. The Volvo Teams rounded Cape Of Storms two days after Laura Dekker (16yo, alone in a nutshell), with 2 Beaufort and 4m less swell than her. I wonder, how Lauras videos would look like if she had another hand to film...;-)
Imagine an opti doing that
Gentlemen don't sell to weather.
Half of sailing is just hanging on
Thoughest ? huhuhuhuh seriously ? -> Vendée Globe is the one, race around the world, alone, without any helps...
Fully crewed is tougher. No autopilot on fully crewed and the teams is pushing hard all the time. Vendee Globe, yes the guy has to be an amazing all round sailor - repairs etc, and they push the boats but the fully crewed boats are pushed harder. The current monohull records are fully crewed boats.
Is it me, or did Telefonica take the worst beatings of them all?
Knockdown
They will be replaced by One-Design 65s
hardcore
F1 of sailing. so rough
that aint tough thats fun
Génial lol
Why did they bother getting a lift on a ship through the Indian Ocean, no pirate would be able to catch them.
Godspeed･･(@@
6 months of team sailing with about a dozen of very long stop-overs to refuel, see your family, get someone else to repair your boat, plenty of time to enjoy the local bars and venues... versus 3 months single handed race round the World with no stop-over, no assistance, 30 minutes sleeping breaks max, self-repair for both sailor and boat (try stitching your own tongue at sea)... The VR formerly known as Whitbread is tough if you come from regatta sailing (i.e. the America Cup) and more used to sipping Champagne at your local Yacht club surrounded by billionaires on their yacht but you are not a sailor until you go out there on your own. So, VG is the toughest by miles for this reason.
Frank Cammas and Groupama 4 won the Volvo Race at their first attempt, but has yet to win the Vendée Globe because it is a vastly superior level of fitness, mental toughness and endurance quite simply. It is like comparing a weekend enduro to the Dakar rallye. Solo round the World is the ultimate race and very popular in France sadly the Anglo-Saxons are yet to join, this is why they consider the Volvo Race to be the toughest. If you cannot join them, beat them on paper I guess. At least the French have given the America's Cup a go, albeit with fewer sponsors and interest from the public which is a shame. It will take time to get results but the sailors are there, the Peyron and Cammas.
To me these are completely different breeds of sailors. Some are regatta specialists, some are sea wolves. You don't jump the boat so easily. To my knowledge only Peter Blake and Grant Dalton managed the two but even they have not sailed solo round the World in a race so there are different disciplines in sailing. Offshore sailing though is a no brainer. Vendee Globe, Jules Verne, Volvo Race and Route du Rhum in that order, and if I put Route du Rhum behind the VR it is only because on board technology took the best of it and it is a cross Atlantic race not round the World. Many races are about technology these days, but there is only one for which man remains at the forefront and that's the VG. The chances of dying in a team race are extremely scarce, in a solo race it is a reality families of the sailors have to be prepared for. If you fall over, it is game over your boat won't turn around to pick you up. Some of the mistakes you see in the VR would have disastrous consequences in the VG.
Блять, когда смотришь такое, начинаешь понимать, почему человек - царь зверей.
zajebiste
Lots of non sense comments. Both VOR and VG are tough. One in team and the other solo. So shut up comparing and fucking enjoy. Or go watch soccer 😂
fuckn christ these guys rock
Toughest??? Vendee globe...
Toughest? Vendeeglobe by far.
100th comment
Awesome
Di certo non una comoda traversata in cabina interna
