    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 4 місяці тому +2

    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.

    I haven't been here. But they say that the North sea has some pretty rough cobditions throughout the year. Just keep an eye out. If the wave is in line with the boat, then tge boat will go over it. But if the boat approaches from the side, it could be dangerous.

    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.
