Think the Skipper helming so well in those conditions probably deserved a bit more coverage! But still, great video. Well made and a bit different.
Well done. 👏👏 Great experience builder.
After 40 RTI races I missed this one, and glad I did! I've only seen it that rough maybe three times in that time. Exhilarating, but knackering! Well filmed, well edited, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
That was an excellent video, I felt like I was there😅 you were also MVP on that crew
I used to take part in club racing in Scotland a long time ago, you really brought back the memories. Thanks a lot
Love this, sailors are like no other. We're all maniacs 😂
Great video. That’s a real sailing race, knock down and all. Balls of steel Nestor! I really enjoy your videos. Rob
A good day out. Followed by excited relief 😂
Listening to LA Women en route to the Round the Island race 👌
Enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work ⛵️
Nicely done, the sail and the recording!!
Superb video and great commentary - really got a sense of it all. My father used to crew for Fasnet and lives on the Island.
Fantastic video, excellently done!
Lots of fun to watch, great video
Your editing has gotten super good (gotten? got? my English is rubbish) You know it's going to get real when the Skipper looks nervy. What a ride! Thanks for this movie man. Can't wait until the end of July when I'll be in those waters. If I see you I'll say hi like I said before. I am going to find some money from my college Ramen account to buy you a coffee ! that was epic
Your editing is getting super good. Or has become super good. 😊
Thank you! Has gotten makes sense so good English! Haha college ramen is very important though so make sure you have enough of that before buying me a coffee!
Really glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant! I feel as though I’m on the yacht (sorry if that’s the incorrect name for the vessel) and you have a massive grin on your face the whole time 🌊⛵️
Incredible,Well done!🎉❤
Hi, shacken and slightly stired an interesting days sailing , well done to all who took part on your yatch .😉
If I may criticise you - you don't post enough! lol Joking. Really enjoy your attitude and approach.
Good job, sailor. Greetings from the Baltic Sea. It's also windy sometimes, although the wave is shorter.
That was a great video. I know from experience that waves look disappointingly small on video compared to the reality and those waves looked BIG!
thanks for the great video
Here's looking forward to your Sword Swallowing and Chain Saw Juggling videos!
😀
That'll keep your parents busy...
Seriously: good going and well done.
Thanks!
Exciting stuff! Looks so much fun.
Good test of waterproofs and stomach.
I thought the change of headsail a bit crazy, it was definitely too big going up wind, you could see the main flapping continuously. (Main needs another reefing point). But downwind you perhaps needed more, so overall the skipper got it right.
Those older design racing yachts are too good down wind, it would have been so much more fun on a modern, wide stern yacht (or even better a multihull)
Great footage and commentary.
(ps, was it really force9? An 8 is 39-46 knots. Beaufort scale is the average wind speed. And 3m seas? - the most accurate way to assess wave height is to ask someone and divide by three, though it was more than 1m.)
That didn't look like fun to me! What a ride...Glad you made it around. I'd have turned around long ago. I prefer mild 10-15kts.
That was interesting to watch though a bit more info wouldn't have gone amiss. Boatspeed? , who were you all?where did you end in the comp ? , etc etc , you know what I mean. Thanks
Incredible work capturing this. Thank you
Congratulations😊 , now you have been through this you can go through anything , you wouldn't forgive your self if you had bottled out and not gone along , another experience under your belt👍.
South of the island, the sea looked impressive even on camera so those waves must have been really big in real life.
I raced many seasons in a Sigma 38 when they first came out, mostly offshore. Good solid boats. Good job.
The greatest danger is probably getting hit by something hard..boom, jib clew etc. Crash helmets should be worn / obligatory in those conditions.
You had a big crew…almost too crowded?
Well done Nestor! From what I can tell you were the only Sigma 38 to finish
I learn my crew, when briefing, Shut it.
Very cool. I like it when the waves have a long amplitude like these. You wouldn't see this in the Baltic (at least not very often).
Reminds me of the 2001 Fastnet I did on a Sigma 38. Leaving the Solent in +30kts with three reefs and the No4. Great sailing!
Thanks!
The Sigma is a good old boat. Sad to see some BeneVaria pass you.
Yes we were too lol
This is so well-filmed and edited.
I also got several things from it:
1) Did you maybe have too many guys on board?
2) Don't leave winch handles in the coffee grinders.
3) Did anyone peuk?
4) The start was a disaster perhaps because you hadn't checked the forecast detail - which is why you hit the line well under-canvassed. modern forecast detail tells us when and where it will be windy, and the day's headline max-wind figure is maybe not the important one.
5) Was this filmed on a GoPro camera? Or how?
Brilliant work, anyway, and your best video so far. .
Were there actually 12 on board a 38ft?!
Thank you very much
Yes we did but we knew this going into it and it was partly my fault!
Yes quite a few people puked (some even got on me!)
I think we just went on the side of caution more than anything. Yes it was a GoPro. Thanks billy
Wow! That was an intense and fantastic video, I should imagine it was quite difficult to get the footage safely. Well done, Nestor for doing this and sharing it with us all. James.
Thanks James, you are very welcome!
Well done Nestor! What a fantastic experience, your videos have improved 1000 %. I will look forward to future adventures and wish you well with your sailing and youtube journey. Thanks again for posting this excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Well young man that was some race. You all seemed to enjoy it especially you. I look forward to other vids. I bet your dad was glad when you came home safe.
Awesome is the right word to describe this experience! Fantastic effort by all, great courage! Excellent filming! Very best wishes....
Thank you very much!
One question from land crab. How do you know how much wind/power the rig can tolerate? It seams to me that one boat got de-masted.
I notice that the mainsails were - what do you call it? - reefed. Thanks for sharing.
The rig should be able to stand up to anything, too much and the boat heels over, releasing the pressure
Great vid! Yet we all wanna see your replies to your dads texts 😂
Saw adventurous coming back. She the old russian Volvo 70?
It’s one of the clipper round the world boats
No life belts?
make a habit of sitting "b.lls out' . its a lot more efficient and safe
Ppp
