  • Careful what you wish for they say. Well sure enough after a week of pretty tame weather on our way between Uruguay and South Africa, we got a classic big southern low pressure. Wind consistently above 70kts, 10+ meter waves, the South Atlantic put on a great show and reveal its true nature: raw, powerful.

    When I was a Sailor(Artillery Sergeant actually) on an auxilliary ship/Tender of the German Navy(A516 Tender Donau, a 100mtr ship with the bridge 15mtrs above the sea), we had a storm with 10-12 meter waves for a week. To this day, I remember thinking" just imagine being in a life raft now" while listening to people in distress on channel 16....Kudos you frigging awesome Frenchy with your walrus beard:)

    Over the last half year I watched almost every single video on this channel. You are a true inspiration, please go on making videos for us and I really hope you will find a sponsor for your latest racing plans.
    I especially love it when you explain board routines, fixing methods and weather patterns and how they lead your decisions.

    Another leg smacked over! The power of those boats is amazing. It must be an amazingly exhilarating/terrifying experience helming them. It was helming a 45 ft Mull designed mono hull in a good strong wind that had me in love with sailing. The thrumming through the boat to the wheel was truly exciting!

    Fantastic work, and fantastic sailing. You captured some great footage, giving one a real sense of the conditions, and the editing and scoring are great! I'm so impressed with how chill everyone seems to be under those conditions, and the amount of skill and effort it must take to hand steer in 60 knots with huge waves, much respect to the whole crew. That thing sails like freight train racing down a mountain late for a date, what a beauty. Thanks for sharing!

    That sailing was hardcore! Everyone is keeping casual but at the same time is well aware that lives depend on each other. And these are people you have just met!
    Really tested the limits.
    On top of that, you caught some epic images. The size of those waves was evident. (Not like being there, but...)
    And, the Best Hardcore Sailing Video goes to...
    The Sailing Frenchmen!

  • @rickhalstead8990

    I have been watching your videos from the beginning. I have enjoyed them all but this one has even surpassed Ep. 20 when you had to give up on Madeira and head instead to the Canary Islands. Same dry humor and excepting the challenges as they come your way. As I remember in Ep. 20 you said, "C'est la vie, that's sailing." Looking forward to your next entry. Cheers.

      @lonniepee9804 Рік тому

      Yeah. First time I've ever seen swells appearing to be mountains around a canyon. My video experience has been watching young cruisers. They avoid such weather, but they always say that the camera can't truly capture the seastate. I wanted to do what they do when I was their age, but a chart, a compass, a Loran, a sextant, and a Bowditch didn't appeal to me.

      I was on Visit Sanya, China for leg 1 of this race, and you are absolutely right! It's like they were fitted out by someone who'd never been on a boat before :) Actually, that's unfair, they're great boats generally, absolutely rock solid, and far more comfy than the earlier 68s. Never once did I feel my life was in danger, and as people have said those waves don't look much in the video, but when you're there it's mind-blowing!
