      More the size of it really, but yes, surfing a 14 meter yacht is like drifting a school bus - reckless, dangerous, (especially for the kids) and by the looks of it, a hell of a lot of fun. Kudos mad dog skipper, kudos.

    It’s something a catamaran has a far better chance of getting away with. Many years ago I had a 30 ft cat that broke adrift from her mooring in a particularly vicious storm. According to eyewitnesses she rode the top of a surf straight over the top of a rocky half-tide reef and parked herself nose first up the beach. Her rudders were damaged in the subsequent pounding but otherwise she was fine. If she’d been a keeler she’d have been matchwood.

This decision was taken after discussing the situation with the two VERY experienced sailors accompanying me. Both were keen to enter, ALL CREW were wearing P.F.D's however harnesses were elected to be dangerous for this situation and were not worn.

And if the skipper left it at that, then that's what we would have, just a cool video of a half million dollar Catamaran surfing. But, that's not what we were left with. We were left with a skipper claiming that "it was worth the risk", placing not only a 500k vessel at risk, but also the lives of his crew, and any first responders that would have to assist if things had gone horribly wrong. So nondescript account 20the20 there is your answer. As you have noticed and exercised your ability to use it, there is a comments section that allows people to throw in their 2 cents. By asking why I care, I can only assume you are a child with very few life experiences. I on the other hand, for many years, have taken friends and family on trips were I am responsible for their safety and wellbeing. I care, as I do not take the lives of my fellow adventurers so cavalier.

    In waters such as these the fifth wave is the driver that if [ and IF gets scary ] you can hold the craft/boat near the top of that wave it will take you in one direction faster than ever imagined.
    Its when the captain fails to hold her steady is when there is trouble. . A big congrats to this man that took her in port.

    @pedruu if you watch the fllm you will see that the bows are well clear of the surface. I carry no weight up forward and the buoyancy of the Perry is exceptional. Carrying sail in would probably not have been wise as the sail pressure may tend to drive the bows deeper. I have surfed at sea with full sail and the bows under, Believe me crossing the bar looked spectacular, but was safer than doing bows under with sail.

      @@huntfishexplore7636 You obviously are not a sailor. You cannot perfectly execute anything against the unpredictability and raw power of the sea. If that wave had been a half a meter higher, the starboard hull would have submerged and no skill on the rudder would’ve saved that boat from capsizing. He risked three human lives and $500,000 of luxury catamaran because he was impatient and foolish. He definitely was lucky. But keep thinking you’re in control of your destiny I’m sure it will serve you well.

    I have considerable experience with sailing but I will not pretend to be an expert. I wonder if someone who knows what these boats are designed to do cares to comment. Regarding the suggestion of "backing" it in: my experience with small cats is that they have zero rudder control except when moving forward and even then it must be at a fairly good clip.

    A well made cat that isn't too heavy can surf big waves easy and are quite stable in the yaw direction, and with two rudders very maneuverable. They do not have the tendency to broach like monohulls do. As long as there is ample buoyancy in the bows, doing what this man did is well within the capabilities of the yacht.

    Very dangerous indeed, if his rudders had come out of the water and he not been able to steer straight down that wave it would have been very nasty indeed! Lots of cajones to try that move. I had a similar experience in Mazaltan Mexico during Hurricane Norbert. As much as I wanted to enter the protected waters of the Marina Mazatlan and Marina Cid, I could not do it and was forced to go to the old harbor entrance.
