As a one-time coast guard member myself, I must say that I really admire the professionalism shown here in this video. Wonderful communication between the crew...very lucid and in control at all times...you guys ROCK!
This is one of the most valuable works that exist. I Thank you all around the world that are the real heroes for people that need assistance. Thank you .
The human race is surely designed to be wonderful. Bless the baby it will be a wonderful tale to tell when she grows.. People who rescue others are the best..
I was aboard the USS America CV66 working on the flightdeck when the coast guard helo rescued the people and they brought them aboard to refuel and to medical to check out the people. Truly God was on their side. The waves out there from that storm were so high that they were coming above the flightdeck which is 90 ft to the waterline. When we got back to Norfolk Naval base we had a million dollars worth of damage to the bow and catwalks of the ship
omg, the boat looked like it was handeling the seas perfectly. If i was that concerned, i would have just thrown out a sea anchor! that was a very nice yacht too. a shame the abandoned ship!
And now I know were all my tax dollars are going. Multiply this by seven million and this should give you an idea of what we are up against on the border. And Ocasia- Cortez wants to abolish ICE.
@JohnnyPeachPit The vessel was 400 miles at sea with a hurricane approaching from the south and a NorEaster heading down on them from the North. The master had been single handling the vessel for 40 hours. In sic hours he would have been in an unrecoverable state given the weather.
that boat was handling it fine. if he is that scared, why not just drop the sail and put a sea anchor out. that would keep the bow into the wind. or he could turn the engine and auto helm on and motor slowly to his destination. the sea isnt even that bad
great rescue by the rescue services. true hero's. I just wonder why this boat had so much sail out in those conditions, surely that sail should have been reefed down to the max.
Steve Dashaw is shaking his head! That's a perfectly good Sundeer 64, that boat was made to endure much worse(unless its holes and sinking) busted rudder? Put a sea anchor out! Although Coastguard is trained for this, you are risking there lives with your inexperience! Know the boat will always do better then you and if your not prepaid for self preservation(you know, step up to the liferaft)STAY HOME!
The boat could handle it, but the 4 month old baby was not built for heavy weather with a hurricane approaching their position. It was a good risk call. PS - "You don't step off until you have to step up?" is some of the worst advice ever given in boating safety.
Seriously bad judgement on everyone involved here... Coastie crew should have taken better control of the situation and kept everyone onboard... "Captain" should be held financially responsible for the operation...
Keeping everyone on board likely was not the best option or even an option if, (1) the weather is forecast to worsen (2) and/or night is approaching (3) and/or the sailing vessel's continued seaworthiness is in jeopardy. If any of those combination of factors are in play and you have a window of opportunity to remove the vessels crew, you do it. To not remove the vessel's crew would have been bad judgement. The bottom line....they got to live another day.
@Marcus - Statistically speaking, a 4 month old baby on board a sailboat is safer than one on land, but a rescue at sea is more dramatic than just another car wreck. Why did they abandon ship in the first place? Mental and physical exhaustion probably. The boat seemed fine. The actual rescue seemed more dangerous than staying put. Like the old saying goes, you should only abandon ship when you have to step UP into your liferaft.
for me as a sailor,Its hard to guess by this video what went really wrong but on a first view looks like poor seamanship and obviously undermanned! I mean: a Man with his wife and 13 yr old daughter and a baby does not seem the right crew for a vessel this big Plus ...being 360 miles out they could have easily ridden out the squall and sail downwind like every reasonable sailor would do till conditions got better... Or was the rudder broken? or?? Never mind..glad they made it out Alive Great job US coastguard! How much was the rescue ticket? What happened to this beautiful ship?
@@jackthecat6225 i dont think the gung-ho rescuers that literally live for this mind, that job is more of a passion, and they actually love these kinda rescues: happy endings
I’m guessing it was rudder damage, cause it didn’t look bad otherwise. 🤷🏻♂️ not an expert, but if anybody has the full scoop on what happened that would be an interesting read.
I don't have kids, but I believe firmly in the old saying "Don't bring anything you aren't prepared to lose onto a boat." Pretty sure kids fit neatly into the list of things not to bring into the open ocean, especially if bad weather is coming.
Its called "Freedom" Anybody can and everybody that sails long enough does get into some kinda trouble eventually, without knowing the details you look like an ignoramus by assuming your "expert" opinion....keep in mind this is several decades ago when they didn't have internet offshore. Banned for life??? Jesus fucking christ what an ignorant authoritarian coward
I was kind of thinking the same thing... a 60+ft boat with essentially two crew members sounds like they’re asking for trouble honestly. 🤷🏻♂️ never had to crew a boat that big.
Obviously if u have family on board dont go away from shore ,shouldn't have a baby on board-make sure the weather is 100% pick yurr seasons WELL- 64ft vessel and u have one capable man is he nuts in a situation u cant possibly look out for them nevermind the boat god damn fool! And i would have stayed with my yacht conditions are not that bad. Well maybe if u had hired a crew u wouldn't have such problems.
Are they talking to others on other Air-craft 'cos it sounds like there's more voices than people on the Rescue Hel? When there is so many people all talking together and more people coming on the radio, I don't know how they manage to get anything done! It must be so hard to stay focused and concentrate on what they're doing when there's a million different voices around them! I would be as confused as heck!!
When a yacht is abandoned who legally then owns it? I presume the yacht didn't sink so is the yacht then sunk by the navy for target practise? Or, when it's washed up on some shore can the first to board claim it as theirs? Does anyone know the legalities without bad manners and language?
As far as I'm aware, salvage law dictates that once a vessel is abandoned it can be salvaged by anyone able. Often times the owner will pay a crew to find and retrieve it, but if someone else finds it first there is nothing saying they can't take it.
HE JUST DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SAIL!!!!!! THE SAILoR DID EVERYTHING WRONG, this was avoidable!!! If Ur not sure of what Ure doing in the Ocean, dont. Its not a game!
@adhocstube Because one shouldn't overestimate one's strength !… How can a single person sail a 60 ft sailboat singlehanded, care for the ship's survival, care for the crew in such a weather ???… He should have had at least 2 experienced crew members to weather such a storm… But to day big boats are cheaper giving more competent in normal conditions sailors the feeling they can weather all kind of storms plus the fact your are with your family … and we enter a different picture…
...this looks to me rather bad seamanship instead of anything else...of course, i do not have full info, but from what i see on video, boat seems to be fine and more than capable to deal with given situation..
For the people on about the yaucth ya its a bad loss but fuck it would you take a risk of losing your family for some shitty boat ? fuck that they made the right decsion
As a one-time coast guard member myself, I must say that I really admire the professionalism shown here in this video. Wonderful communication between the crew...very lucid and in control at all times...you guys ROCK!
The word "Hero" gets thrown around a lot these days but for these guys, it is 100 percent deserved. Amazing.
That takes courage to be a rescue swimmer in conditions like this.The whole helicopter crew deserve a medal they wont give up .
Great example of the outstanding heroic job the men and women of the USCG do for sailors and mariners. Great job by the rescue swimmer, Mario.
Thanks +Steadman Uhlich

Bravo to all the men and women who serve in the coast guard in every country that has them. They are hero's personified.
No words can discribe what kind of heroes these guys are :-) Thumbs up!! Who cares if the sailor was stupid? This video is about the rescuers !!

Good job Bobby!!!
Amazing brave people.
God bless all the rescuers.
Knowing that there are people who have the skills and ability to do these things , are comforting when you find yourself out on a limb.
I have chills. Those men can consider themselves as legends
Bravo. Heroes. What more can you say? Great video to share this incredible rescue.
Extreme good job by the rescuers! But why this very dangerous abandom when the yacht is fine ???
is was fine for now but a hurricane was on the way with conditions worsening by the hour
omg, the boat looked like it was handeling the seas perfectly. If i was that concerned, i would have just thrown out a sea anchor! that was a very nice yacht too. a shame the abandoned ship!

God bless all who answer the call of those in need, outstanding job
GREAT JOB OUR COASTGUARDS AWESOME ! ! WELL DONE ! ! !
God Bless the Coast Guard!!! I give them a lot of respect!
amazing great job fellas
Easy right... easy right... easy back and right... easy back and right basket is in the water

Does it look like he has experience, or money to buy a boat and take his family out to sea without experience? Fucking rich people!
what’s wrong with the sail boat ?
great rescue by the rescue services. true hero's. I just wonder why this boat had so much sail out in those conditions, surely that sail should have been reefed down to the max.
grandi eroi che ammiro salvano tante vite umane in condizioni difficili bravi auguri
People with money to buy a boat...but not the brains to sail it.
God Bless The U S Coast Guard and The Crew Members Amen Praise The Lord God Bless The Sail Boat Members
Why isn't the main reefed? Or even down with the storm jib up?
Lol say what?
it is
In that condition the boat is more stable with a sail up. And it doesnt look to heel a lot so its fine. And not everyone has a storm sail
What is this?! Middle earth?!
Free boat......I mean FREE YACHT. It's always the same. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
one billion bravos guy's
whenever you see a rescue from what seems like a fine looking sailboat it usually is a rudder failiure
Indeed. Makes you think on expensive boats they need either better rudders and/or an emergency rudder set up
I would tell them to take my family and I would somehow sail the boat back
HEROES....they go out when the other forces stays at home!

Wow...lots of landlubber experts commenting without knowing any facts.
and by the way that family should be lifelong donors to the coast guard.
This was amazing :)
How do they stop the Basket from swinging violently when they're lowering and highering it?
when i get my sailboat i am going to practice so if i am ever surprised by a storm i will be as ready as possible.
Bingo: best reply.
They needed to lower a sailor down to the boat...
The mast whipping from side to side would kill or tangle the rescue swimmer.
Seriously bad judgement on everyone involved here... Coastie crew should have taken better control of the situation and kept everyone onboard... "Captain" should be held financially responsible for the operation...

And considering this was the early 90’s, so…….
4-month-old baby on board???!! wtf is within the baby's parents skulls???? shiiitt?
Why couldnt the sailboat heave to?
What happened to the boat after the rescue?
Did it go down, or stay afloat? Was it found again?
@Marcus - Statistically speaking, a 4 month old baby on board a sailboat is safer than one on land, but a rescue at sea is more dramatic than just another car wreck.

Well said.
Wait why didn't they take down the sails
Prolly to dangerous to go out on deck
Epc
I was wondering the same thing. But that sounds like a logical reason.
What woman would take an infant out to sea?
LOL: the same woman who voted for Hillary.
God bless the USCG and the UKCG

Probably the adults and 13 yr old would have been fine if the boat was setup right, but when you have a baby on board....
@@jackthecat6225 i dont think the gung-ho rescuers that literally live for this mind, that job is more of a passion, and they actually love these kinda rescues: happy endings

tell them they're in a big late model yacht that can handle these conditions... and then go and rescue someone in trouble ..
The yacht could handle the conditions, the four month old baby, not so much.
@daggitenator
what should he have done?
Why did that guy bring his baby there
Of all the places there
I don't have kids, but I believe firmly in the old saying "Don't bring anything you aren't prepared to lose onto a boat."
Pretty sure kids fit neatly into the list of things not to bring into the open ocean, especially if bad weather is coming.
Hi there !!
Which is safer in heavy seas, a monohull or catamaran !!??
sergio
There are many controversies about it, but both are safe
Hey, send in the CGC Tamaroa!
Do they have the internet in America? How about HF radio weather forecasting! These people should be banned from sailing on an ocean for life.
jutubaeh
Ever heard of an apostrophe?
Its called "Freedom"
Anybody can and everybody that sails long enough does get into some kinda trouble eventually, without knowing the details you look like an ignoramus by assuming your "expert" opinion....keep in mind this is several decades ago when they didn't have internet offshore.
Banned for life??? Jesus fucking christ what an ignorant authoritarian coward
This was in the 90’s
JCBs At the helm
😂😂 “if accidents occur we just kill everyone after we rescue them.”
🤔 seems reasonable.
Clearly inexperienced sailors...
The problem when money can buy anything...
Well said.
I was kind of thinking the same thing... a 60+ft boat with essentially two crew members sounds like they’re asking for trouble honestly. 🤷🏻♂️ never had to crew a boat that big.
แช่น้ำไว้
Obviously if u have family on board dont go away from shore ,shouldn't have a baby on board-make sure the weather is 100% pick yurr seasons WELL-
64ft vessel and u have one capable man is he nuts in a situation u cant possibly look out for them nevermind the boat god damn fool!
And i would have stayed with my yacht conditions are not that bad.
Well maybe if u had hired a crew u wouldn't have such problems.
Exactly the parents are dumb asf and shouldn't even have a child stupid ass bitches watching this really pissed me off
Easy right easy right.
Perfect Storm
Money dont buy SKILLS ...
Best comment!

It must be so hard to stay focused and concentrate on what they're doing when there's a million different voices around them! I would be as confused as heck!!
yes cory
When a yacht is abandoned who legally then owns it? I presume the yacht didn't sink so is the yacht then sunk by the navy for target practise? Or, when it's washed up on some shore can the first to board claim it as theirs? Does anyone know the legalities without bad manners and language?
As far as I'm aware, salvage law dictates that once a vessel is abandoned it can be salvaged by anyone able. Often times the owner will pay a crew to find and retrieve it, but if someone else finds it first there is nothing saying they can't take it.
ravenhawk82 Thank you. I had better not abandon my yacht then.
Stephen Lediard On International waters it is out of law and can be taken by anyone. But on national waters and shore... it is a registrated property.
Pues aparentemente navega bien
I am here hungry about to eat
HE JUST DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SAIL!!!!!! THE SAILoR DID EVERYTHING WRONG, this was avoidable!!! If Ur not sure of what Ure doing in the Ocean, dont. Its not a game!
Kinda makes you wonder how we got this far.
what was thinking doing sailboat in middle of ocean???
ไม่ต้องถึงขั้นนั้น
i what to cry wright know
sup cory
@adhocstube Because one shouldn't overestimate one's strength !… How can a single person sail a 60 ft sailboat singlehanded, care for the ship's survival, care for the crew in such a weather ???…
He should have had at least 2 experienced crew members to weather such a storm…
But to day big boats are cheaper giving more competent in normal conditions sailors the feeling they can weather all kind of storms plus the fact your are with your family … and we enter a different picture…
40ก็ทำได้
ใครจะเอาไม่ดี
@jensvoogt Taken in the main and sailed (or hove to) under storm jib & mizzen.
...this looks to me rather bad seamanship instead of anything else...of course, i do not have full info, but from what i see on video, boat seems to be fine and more than capable to deal with given situation..
If you dog were on board, I would not leave her. Dumb huh? But true
cory you could not save them
For the people on about the yaucth ya its a bad loss but fuck it would you take a risk of losing your family for some shitty boat ? fuck that they made the right decsion
