    Having sailed in 8 meter waves, I'm amazed at just how relaxed Erik is! Also, it's such a shame that videos never do justice to the size of big waves at sea.

      @@CHRIS198490 No real difference. Keel type and hull shape are more important. Sure steel boats are heavier, but a fiberglass boat with a full keel would not only have the weight, but also have down low where it is more effective.
      But I would NEVER want to be out in those conditions in a catamaran. I've sailed past catamarans in those sorts of conditions. Man it looks awful.
      @sail4life catamarans are more stable, until they aren't anymore, then it is awful. cats are stable in calm seas.

    Someday i am going to really really regret not going to sea. I have only been near it a handful of times in my life but i felt this strong urge to be near it every time. I get nostalgic almost reading O'Brian and the rest. And i am almost too old to even start now, the years go by so fast.

  • @GunHolz
    @GunHolz 3 місяці тому +1

    Correct me if I am wrong but if the wave barely touches the horizon, then it is ptetty much the same height as your eyeball/camera is off the water. It looks like he is sitting, that makes the wave a realistic 2,5 to 3m, maybe peaks of 3,5m.
    Also: I would expect a lot more white water and spray in 6-7 m waves. The waves seem fairly close together (high frequency), it is most likly not an old swell from a storm far away.
    Nice video, nice sailing, very calm and good seamanship. But 6-7m waves... seems a little exaggerated.

We had both washboards duct taped up inside and out, a sailbag with sail in it lashed in front of the companionway. It was a truly freightening 4 day experience. We couldnt heave to and juat rode down monster waves at up to 19.8kn of boat speed. At least i had another helmsman to share the load with. Totally insane.

    Gus is where I learned to sail and sailed many years, not knowing it’s not like this in most other places. Until I left and found myself is Asia where most days the seas look like a swimming pool. But then… worst thing about the North Sea ( especially sept-April.. ) is that if you where to fall in the water you have 2-3 minutes until hypothermia gets the better if you.. if you’re not out in. 5 minutes you’re likely to die. ..I still love the sight of this… never underestimate any sea.. stay safe.
