@@hrvsmart indeed I do. It's a ratio that very few understand, and, is widely used in the media to sensationalise. For example. The divided states of america had a whopping 35,000 vehicle fatalities, whereas the prison island you know as Australia only had 9,500. That's a difference of 31,500! However, when we factor in population sizes, things are not as bad as they seem. The divided states of america has a population of 333,300,000 whereas the prison island has a population of only 26,010,000. If we divide deaths by population we get 0.0001% for dsa and 0.0003%, or three times the number of deaths _per capia_ . In conclusion, although the number of deaths is three times greater in the dsa, you are three times more likely to die from a car accident in australia.
sailing these kind of conditions is the most amazing experience. being in a 60 foot yacht and feeling the hull start chattering and skittering like a skiff on the plane is certainly an experience
I wonder if it is hull deflection you see? Or rather just the mast bending... Or do you mean the forestay loosens due to hull bending as the hull slams, and thereby making the mast bend away?
@@MrGentlebutfirm Yeah it was the way the forestay slacked then snapped tight that caught my eye. The aft stays don't appear to have stretched or failed, meaning the bow deflected vertically by a good 8-10 inches from where it left the mould. And then you see the forces ripple back through the hull and rigging as it snaps true.
Beautiful. I sail on Lake Erie Ohio, USA, and I really appreciate the footage. Sailing is such a spiritual thing for me. Something about tapping into the kinetic and potential energy of the world helps me feel more connected to the bigger universe. Within those moments, considering are atoms were formed in ancient stars, I realize that I am part of the universe, and it is part of me. In these times of clarity I feel the universe gaining conciousness through this realization. Priceless!
It's amazing to see sails reefed that much still generate so much drive and heel. Can only imagine what the ride would be like downwind on something like that.
Good to see this from the outside of the boat. Now I understand the reason why it may feel sometimes a little uncomfortable when sailing in large waves ;-)
Much respect. A lot more brave than I am. I love sailing, but I'd never go out in sea like that running full sail. I wouldn't want to be in it at all, much less with full sails.
The rule of thumb is that if a breaking wave height is higher than the full beam (width) of the boat, it will capsize. Capsizing doesn't necessarily mean that she'll stay like that - most boats, and specially offshore, usually "pop-up" back again. This is due to a design characteristic of these boats (and almost any boat) called the "angle of vanishing stability" (GZ), which basically indicates, as the name indicates, the angle of no return when a boat capsizes...
...a trimaran, that rely mostly on form stability are more prone to capsizes than monohulls (as well as cartwheels when burrowing the bows, but that's another story). Note though that I am a fan of both types of sailing, either in mono or multi hulls.
she's really in the groove, traveller down eased main, going well a lesson for cruisers, take a weekend on a racing boat, you'll learn more than you will in 10 years cruising
Your truly on the helm. Crossing bass strait in the '98 Syd-Hobart. We had 50+ knots with the occasional gust over 60Knots. The sea were large +. I'll let you work that out. And sadly Gary is no longer with us. In this race he put his own life on the line to save many sailors.
The main is reefed to less than half its surface area, and they're still heeled over to about 45 degrees. There's no changing the rigging at that kind of wind speed. All you can do is be ready to sheet out.
...If I'm not mistaken, IMOCA 60's (usually used for round th world solo sailing) have a GZ of more than 120º, i.e., the boat has to be able to roll 120º and still come back up on the same side. The aspects that influence this are the Vertical Centre of Gravity (VCG) - which is bettered by a long fin keel with its weight way down [the lower the better] - and form stability provided by the maximum beam of the boat - though this last one serves only up until a point, eg, a catamaran or...
I think she was one of the boats finishing that race. By the first gale warning I would have made my way to the harbour, scared as hell. Aussies are of a different kind!
A few of those big ones at the wrong time can cause significant structural damage. Just look at how Larry Ellison's bigger, newer "Sayonara" delaminated with crushed bulkheads in the same race.
I think that's Solandra or Sayonara during the epic and ill fated 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race. It's definitely the race, the only thing I'm not sure of is the boat? It is part of another special on UA-cam about the race. I think it is Australian channel 9 or ABC TV helicopter footage.
It would take much larger waves than that to capsize that boat or a structural failure of some sort. The worst that could happen in these conditions is the boat gets knocked on its side and with the sails sideways out of the wind the boat would spin around and pop right back up.
When she hits that hole at 31seconds. Thats the sort of movement that will have a rig collape on you. The shock loads are massive. You have to glue the boat to the back of the wave. It's really hard work for the helm but the motor back home without the rig is just crap.
@geolog12 Im pretty sure there are many of multis that would be able to stand on this kind of weather, all they need to do is to reef the sail, Im amazed that this mono actually made through these conditions, without capsizing
Adreniline sport like everest thing yadda yadda, things can go bad also. Anyway, interesting how it can be handled by people who are experienced at it.
I love sailing, but I would most likely through up if I was on that thing with those big waves. I recommend going to the weakapaug yaught club if you live in westerly rhode island
@espadaanduril Un poco tarde pero igual te respondo; Cuando reduces el area de la vela se dice 'reefing'.

This footage is from the 1998 Sydney-Hobart race. Out of 115, only 44 finished, 5 sank and 6 sailors died. A 1 hr documentary can be found on youtube.
Stop being dramatic. In the same year, 523 died on Australian roads.
@@the-naked-sailor and how many people were on the roads in that time. Do you understand what the term "per capita" means?

News footage of one of the few to make Hobart in 1998.
this is typical for 12 meter yacht races
Wow, the deflection in the hull around 0:30 I don't even want to think about the dynamic structural forces going on there.

Incredible footage. How that yacht didn't break in to. Travelling at the limit. Amazing.

You owe it to yourself to read Christian Williams' "Philosophy of Sailing: Offshore in Search of the Universe" (2018)
Love the realization of the moment at hand kind human

such a graceful moment, a powerful moment, terribly exciting, the beauty of sailing
Good to see this from the outside of the boat. Now I understand the reason why it may feel sometimes a little uncomfortable when sailing in large waves ;-)
One of the only real heavy weather sailing vids on the internet. Mostly the camera is on the boat so you can't see that well. Great vid.
oh no !!!!! scared to death I would be ....definitely a great captain at the helm...
Real heavy waves! That bow cuts the the water like you wouldn't believe. Looks like the entire crew is riding starboard
fantastic sailing! what a ride!
That's awesome stuff right there,, they are kickin ass.
Much respect. A lot more brave than I am. I love sailing, but I'd never go out in sea like that running full sail. I wouldn't want to be in it at all, much less with full sails.
great music!!!
Masters of the universe! Rock on with your recondite activities :)
Bravo! Awesome vid.
very nice sailing. I've recently read that cutting large waves at an angle is much preferred in high wind. nice to see a text book example.
That looks awesum!
Simply Awesome! =)
Adecuando el equilibrio entre las Velas ..........buena gestión de las condiciones.....👌👌👍👍
Amazing footage.
They have the blade up and a huge reef in the main and they are still heeling over that much. That is insane wind!
that's one hell of a pounding at :30
Go Hard boys :)
i want so see moooore ....and with sound, of this incredible video!
Bury the bow ! heeled over hard, great footage.

i like it, like that!!!
Great skeeper on the healm ritght there!
gorgeous
The real skill is in the heli pilot keeping his chopper steady in these conditions!
Nothing like scaring the hell out of everyone on a nice afternoon sail!!!!
congrats -almost a million views
La fatídica Sydney-Hobart del 98 que sin embargo nos dejó joyas como esta:
she's really in the groove, traveller down eased main, going well a lesson for cruisers, take a weekend on a racing boat, you'll learn more than you will in 10 years cruising
Impressive :-)

Posted a long time ago, hope all is well. Have you written your experience down, I would love to read it? Respect. Take care.
you guys are nuts.. wish i was onboard
this is awsome my grandparents did this from usa to bermuda except they hit a hurricane in a 25 ft boat and got out.
Brindabella is a modified Jutson 79, designed by Scott Jutson launched in 1993 now with a third owner will take part in the 2010 Sydney-Hobart
This is sailing!!!
thats perfect sailing conditions
Awesome! I doubt this is CGI. The other amazing wave riding vid is the Pirates of the Caribbean one. Truly kick butt!!
one sould respect and have to have guts.
Poetry in motion.
Saynara at the time was 8 miles east of us. This footage was shot from ABC helicopter. We were half way across Bass Strait
awesome
Reef and Furl baby!!!!
Молодца!
Prime seamen for sure
beautiful
Sick!

this is awesome footage of brindabella during the tragic 1998 sydney to hobart race

The is Brindabella . I was on it at the time. 65kts wind 270deg
Archie Cropley 👏
Man risk of capsizing was 99% right there scariest shit I've seen for sailing
Ah - a race! I guess that explains the amount of sail he has up under the conditions.
The helmsman knows what (s)he's doing...
I think she was one of the boats finishing that race. By the first gale warning I would have made my way to the harbour, scared as hell. Aussies are of a different kind!
WET N WILD!
the head sail is partly backwinded by the staysail stay. Anyone know if that is a heavy weather sailing technique with advantages. Looks bad.
Can you tell me how fast you reckon it's going there? 15kts? more? less?
look at that thing cut the water, magnificent
@jezcol Yes, is the Sidney Hobart Race 1998, and yes, people die on the sea in this race.
A few of those big ones at the wrong time can cause significant structural damage. Just look at how Larry Ellison's bigger, newer "Sayonara" delaminated with crushed bulkheads in the same race.

its Brindabella, the distinctive marks on the bow identify her
but how the ship control the stability?
perfect
0:30 wow!
It would take much larger waves than that to capsize that boat or a structural failure of some sort. The worst that could happen in these conditions is the boat gets knocked on its side and with the sails sideways out of the wind the boat would spin around and pop right back up.
damn that mug is ballin like a man in those waves
this vessel is the kingurra??
cool
@Camerameister Thanks for the information ^^
brindabella was a lovely boat, that looks like footage from the 1998 Sydney Hobart
....YEEEHAWWW!
What kind of sailboat is it?
The best sailing is when the side of the boat becomes the bottom of the boat. A big and heavy keel is needed.
When she hits that hole at 31seconds. Thats the sort of movement that will have a rig collape on you. The shock loads are massive. You have to glue the boat to the back of the wave. It's really hard work for the helm but the motor back home without the rig is just crap.
@geolog12 Im pretty sure there are many of multis that would be able to stand on this kind of weather, all they need to do is to reef the sail, Im amazed that this mono actually made through these conditions, without capsizing
with two hands and in a sippy cup. :)
Hardcore 😋
You need some BIG stones and a capable boat to try this. well done on the "lean" people
Legal!!!
Adreniline sport like everest thing yadda yadda, things can go bad also. Anyway, interesting how it can be handled by people who are experienced at it.
where was this?
I'm no sailor but how much damage do you think the boat took at the drop at 30 seconds?
Yahooooo!
How did you launch/land the drone?
you have got to have some balls to sail in the stuff, but its pretty sweet
@element9977 Still doesn't beat being out in those conditions in a small sailboat - now that's thrilling.
That looks unreal, I am absolutely not calling it a fake, it just looks unreal
If you want to learn how to sail like this or just want to learn to sail! Come visit OnDeck ocean racing!
I love sailing, but I would most likely through up if I was on that thing with those big waves. I recommend going to the weakapaug yaught club if you live in westerly rhode island
this is why reefing was invented
@espadaanduril
Un poco tarde pero igual te respondo;
Cuando reduces el area de la vela se dice 'reefing'. "Single, double or triple reefed mainsail"
En ingles 'Schooner' se le dice a cualquier barco que tenga dos o mas mastiles donde el mastil mas al frente no es mas alto que los mastiles de atras. Cuando son dos mastiles y el trasero es mas bajo que el del frente se le dice 'ketch'.
Hasta donde yo se, no tiene nombre especifico este tipo de carrera.
Saludos!
