I would love to see this turned into a Netflix series like what they do with Formula 1. There is absolutely way more action potential on a 3 month race around the world!
That would make sailing sports as stupid as F1 has become, no thank you
@@popmerde Bring it on… F1 is better than in the past 20 years that I’ve been watching it so we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one 🤝
@@cybercheco good, then let's keep stupidity in F1, sailing sports are great as they are, no need to ruin it with political bullshit and idiotic nonsense.
For sure
They pay nfl nba ball players millions they should pay these guys
Great idea!
Seeing these big ocean-racing yachts gives me the shivers. Small sailboat racing was the only sport at which I was anywhere near good. Almost drowned in an un-forecast monster gale on Lake Erie, one of the most dangerous inland waters to sail anywhere in the world. Race Committee ought to have canceled that race before it started, but there you are. Several injuries and close-to-drowning cases. So I have a little bit of a feeling for what these crews experience. Good On Ya, Mates!
Wow! Great story and well told. Thank you
Whew...! I'm worn out... Great footage, and story. Well presented....!
We cant wait for the next vor! Hope its alicante again. A nice ending of a scandinavian autumn with some nice southern spanish heat.
And i cant wait to see the team setup! Hope Bekking takes one more turn.
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for posting. Great work. Highly appreciated 🤗. Sailor greetings from Copenhagen ❤️
What's up? Been doing anything dangerous or exciting? Hit me up when you get back in-country.
This is one of my favorite races of any kind of races,its the old Whitbread round the world race.It doesn't get any better then this.
Fascinating competitive race! A deep field made good suspense. I was heartened to see a break where crews could rebuild their bodies.

Мужественные люди. Их деятельность делает жизнь лучше и красивее. Она делает ее праздником. Финал в Гааге-великолепен!
This is an amazing sport, strongly influenced by……Young Aussies. Once again, Aussies amongst the best in the world. This sport leads the world in development, technology, presentation. It’s brilliant to watch!!!
Thoughts for the families of that fisherman, and the racing sailor, John Fisher. Let us remember them, and remember that the sea gives a lot, but may take much more. Neptune rules over his kingdom with an iron fist.
This race had everything. One of the best finishes of all time.
I am staggered, no harness??? No one goes on the deck of my boat in the open ocean, specially a race, without a full harness with crutch straps and a 12 ton carbon/kevlar wrapped steel wire safety line. They carry ten red flares and a 100,000 lumens strobe on a 20cm telescopic stick that extends to 4m, plus a personal EPIRB. This is all in the outer wet weather jacket. This is what we learned from the infamous 1998 Sydney to Hobart. All this has to be supplied by each crew member and is inspected and checked as often as possible.
The SOLAS compulsory man overboard protocol in 40+knots of wind requires that you trail 2-4, 50m fluro ropes out the back with large loops every 3m to put an arm through. They are each terminated on a winch. You put the helm hard over and broach the boat immediately. You bring the boom midships. You do the same with the jib. You lock the steering and you can stop completely, and then the boat will just do circles, even in big seas and big winds. Someone goes up the mast. These yachts only weigh 12 tons. They can stop really quickly. When you have the sailor beside the boat, sometimes its impossible to lift them out of the water. You run the boom out, drop the main 6', drop the boom into the water and scoop them out in the pocket of the main that is created above the boom.
To go in the Hobart you have to practice all this. Everyone of the crew has to feel what its like. In a 1m sea you lose sight of a head after 10m drifting. If you are travelling at 20 kts, you are out of sight in ten seconds. When this other guy was pulled back on board he only had skins on. Are they serious? Thats criminal. The IYRF would take away their accreditation.
chill out bro
used to be Aussies were real men, What happened? Sorry state of affairs, very sorry indeed.
I agree this is not up to safety standard. They are also not using a preventer, as far as I can see, so a small error in sailing downwind can cause the accidental gybe; yet the rigging they use is apparently not strong enough to withstand an accidental gybe in strong winds. These people seem to be putting winning above lives. In the recovered MOB incident the person assigned to keep eyes on the mob immediately takes her eyes off him- the guy in the water is relying on his teammates to do this right. He was very lucky. This is a really bad look for Volvo, giving a message of cutting corners, and unsafe.
0:35 I like your editing setup. Looks very comprehensive and convenient.
What an amazing gambit from Dongfeng. Incredible!

I loved the video and can't wait for the next race. A couple years away yet. My once criticism, and it's not unique to your video by any means, is that no one mentioned the name, hometown, anything about the fisherman who died. We took some time to honor John Fisher, as we should, but I would have liked to seen a couple seconds dedicated to the other man who lost his life during the race. He died as a result of the race and I'd have felt better if some of the limelight was shone his way. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Do these crew members not have GPS locators on their life vests? I would have thought that was a given. This is a crazy race--a bit reckless, IMO.
Awesome tough bunch of people
Can you please do this for more races. It is by far the best video on the Ocean race i can find
It feels like the narration volume is a bit low. Otherwise great vid! Thanks for the awesome content & production quality.
Ŕrŕr
Thanks. After watching the teams via the stern camera, it seems to me that the twin helm system on Luna Ross has only 1 person crossing and he has a good look around and feeds that information back to the helms. They had good awareness because of this smooth system. The British have 3 people crossing each time. This seems a bit confusing as it breaks focus.
Luna "Ross" didn't sail in the Volvo Ocean Race...
GREAT
You all crossed the line,be happy.
this edition VOR was exceptionel, but with the next imoca class i think they may do the same mistake as with the open 70 class:
a wonderful boat that almost ruined the race
How to be selected for this race???
how do they sleep ?
How did The point end up skippering Akzonobel Afterall ?
Which yacht took over Abu Dhabi s colours & identity?
A good model for other international efforts to use.
Very professional ..well done
How are they not made to wear a harness?
What's your worst King Neptune experience? That kid got his head shaved wtf
I wonder why the sailors/crew don't wear some type of EPIRB device so that they can be found more easily if overboard?
Look being in this race, is a win that you are able to race there areno losers.
SOOOOOOOOO COOL!
*Why aren’t these racers wearing life vests at all times while on deck?*
Cause when you fall off at night in the southern ocean, it doesnt matter
@Vinsu Karma Its blowing 40+ knots
Water is just above freezing
Even in full survival gear you might last 20 mins and they will not find you in that time
They are
I'm looking forward to the new imocas, this will save the race for me. I understand what the race was trying to achieve with the Vo65 I just feel they could have achieved rhe same outcome with less change to the feel of the race....
Damn, you need to be a little masochistic to do this! Being pounded by freezing spray for WEEKS at a time can't be easy! :-O
Ocean sailing is a special brand of brave and crazy.
masochistic? Naa
Totally Insane? Yep
These folks are a special breed, like the Vendee Globe sailors. These daily conditions would quickly kill the average athlete like me.
why is the world sailing show not continuing?
I wish they'd just mount a camera in each cockpit so we could watch as they go.
free: from front brace out with carbonfibre mast the head mast not need from back wire - bigger boom bigger sail. like so bouilt ship underside not empty ,when water go in at this shall out only by end net ,to keep back the things. front sail a mast from heigh stern of the ship to the end of head mast , and from there to the second head mast. only side strenth and nothing nor need from back. longer booms bigger sails.
Matthew
This is the leg of hell.
I hope that they wil bring back flyer in te ocean race
624 knm in 24 hours! That's 24 knm/hr average! Here I am watching sailing vlogs trying to do 100 in a day with a monohull. Wow.
I think they said 604, which comes to just over 25 knots average.
Displacement hulls have trouble getting anywhere close to the speeds of these boats, since they are planing hulls.
yea
again music louder then the voice :P
yeeee
Wish these programs could focus on some of the slower teams as well, not just the front guys. Even people at the back of the pack did some good sailinga and should be highlighted.
7:30-7:39 🤣 we get four big guys together with I pipe and just (sound effects)
Was a very interesting race, the French-Chinese-Norwegians won, the A Nobel? second and the Spanishs third(they never looses remember) and Brunel(laughs)?, the models owners are relative happy(except to Epstein exit) but the business must go on(Volvo is a good imperial brand)...
You lucked out,big time. People die on this race.
Did some one say unfair?
could you please add some more adds . just skip the part about the boats and commentary . more adds now
For such an exciting, touching and important story it would have been nice if you could have taken the time to balance all the audio. Overbearing music, indistinct narration , then sailors shrieking my ears off. Totally miserable to suffer when it could have been so good. Commiserations to the fisherman's, and sailors families.
WAY too many ads.
Thanks for the vid - great stuff except the music. You didn't need it throughout the whole damn thing.....
sailed since age 12, not interested in being wet n cold, day in day out, Credit Agricole in the BOC more relaxed, drier
What do you mean by that ?
The roaring fourtys
The leg of pain.
Don't these sailors where personal beacons?
Worse is that there were a lot of times in rough seas where they were not using their tethers. Such stupidity should not be allowed by the racing rules, unless they are just ghosting along in a calm.
I agree, and with all the techno advances. Jeez, as far as I can tell their are no toe rails and open life lines, not a good mix, obviously safety is not a major concern, it's all about the speed. In my opinion, that is also why so many boats/lives where lost in the Fastnet and the Sydney/Hobart, many of these races don't when to stop racing an go into survival mode. I remember seeing helicopter footage of boats in tropical storm force winds still trying to eck out every knot.
@@raynic1173 Yea, there is a certain recklessness to this event, and can't imagine that the crew don't each have personal beacons.
l cant believe they lost someone ?? l thought they had harnesses and full life jackets !!?? WHAT ABOUT GOD DAMN PERSONAL GPS ?? WTF??
You saw earlier in the race that SAME TEAM has another man overboard because he didn't follow protocol. Seems to me they sacrificed safety and protocol for speed. Mr. Fisher was ultimately the one that paid the price for their Skipper's failure to enforce discipline.
rip to the person who fell overboard.
Voiceover way too low. Whoever mixed that should be ashamed.
There in the roaring fourths danger. I new it. This is what happens,this is not a game it will take your life.
Lol. You know there is a lot of good freeze dried foods out there and that ain’t it. Next time buy different kinds and try em before your trips. I was like you many many years ago finding it hard to stomach some of the horrible ones out there. Now I’m finding myself impatiently waiting for the next meal instead of regretting it. Try different countries MRE’s also. There’s some really decent ones out there and many to choose from. And they are cheap. You can get a case of 24 different complete meals for 100$ US
Anyone after video on safari??
故友之子臨時被SHK隊抽起
How the fuck did he sit in open ocean for 7 minute before getting saved?
They are eating stress,and not a little but alot.
Love sailing , but I feel sorry for any whales , dolphins, porpoises, seals , fish that meet an underwater foil cutting thru it. Whales have been hit but race teams call it a structural failure , of the foil.
Is there a bathroom on the boat? How do they shower? What do they eat? Who cooks? How do they do laundry?
Sub on the finish do need to throw cargo only dose to care him

The boats were literally took a flight
Too many commercials to stomach. Repetitive commentary. This is not for sailors.
´59
Another trip to hell.
i want to See it in german😑😑
According to Wikipedia there is an INCENTIVE to having female sailors on board. What happened to equal rights! Isn't that preferential treatment??? Don't get me wrong: I don't care about your male/female association I just think it is wrong to give preferential treatment to either sex. You either make the cut or you don't. After all, what "incentive" should there be for me to be on the crew since I am completely unqualified. Better read this again before you judge.
Its SJW bullshit even taking over an extremely niche Sport such as Yacht Racing. Just think Sailor John Fisher might not have died if there were 1 more Strong Male on board instead a weaker Female.
'Promosm'
Pansies thought look how dangerous this is with my rescue helicopter following me LOL
Boring... I thought this would be about sailing.
The lacking teaching radiographically measure because command impressively supply underneath a snotty rock. unequaled, ludicrous mile
So fed up with all virtue signaling.
wtf are you talking about?
@@persebra He's talking about how every "cared so deeply" that the sailor died. No they didn't. All they cared about was "Good! 1 Less Strong Competitor!"
all these comments of the sailors switching between:
how they love what they do
and wailing how they get mentaly and physically abused
are anoying
How are they wailing?
I could only bare five minutes. It was nonsensical.
I wonder how many kids died of malnutrition, & starvation, in the time these toys were getting money ‘wasted’ on them.
