- How To Do A Halyard Swing
Halyard Swings are dangerous, so we can't recommend doing them. However, they are also fun AF so if you really want to try one, watch this episode to find tips on how to do them safely.
1. Don't use your own boat. In this case, Marco used his boss's boat (thanks James);
2. Get yourself to an awesome location. Marco chose Necker Island, home to billionaire and all-round legend Sir Richard Branson.
Now onto the technique.
1. Find out which side your halyard favours, and use that side to conduct the swings;
2. Attach a big fat fender to the end of the halyard. Have person sit on said fender;
3. Get some momentum up, take your boat to 80% of max revs;
4. Whip the wheel over. In this case, with halyard on port, we would whip wheel over to stbd;
5. When the stern starts kicking to port, the person on the fender needs to jump out;
6. Forward momentum turns into sideways momentum as person starts swinging out;
7. LET GO before swinging back onto the vessel;
Dangers here include (but aren't limited to) the following:
1. If swinger kicks off too early, the boat will kick towards them and they will hit it;
2. If swinger lets go too late, s/he may swing around and hit the bow of the boat.
3. Helm changes from forward to reverse too quickly, crunching the transmission.
4. Watch for other boats in the area. Make sure you're on your own. Aside from a decent crown of onlookers, naturally.
Don't be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol (serious). Even if that's when you feel most inspired to do it.
Then we swing some halyards. Featuring the Week 48 Sailing Virgins Choir, Debbie Chang, Kate Mosley, Maria Dolka, Gus Kell (on soprano), John Kelsey (on nude stunts), amazing cameraman Forrest Ladkin and legendary instructor Marco Mendes.

Had a good laugh with this video, much needed in times like these, thank you guys!
Hey Guys,
Best video so far. We will definitely try this, but as recommended, not on Skye. Mary Rose get ready for some FUN.
Can’t wait for this. Thumbs up for who thinks sailing virgins should do daily videos during these times of quarantine 😇
Fantastic way to practice your man overboard procedure. Brilliant video. 👏 🤣
Video is a lot better than the original song video, thank you guys, well done
Thanks 🤣
That was awesome!!! Highly educational and very entertaining. LMAO Well done, I cannot wait to try it this summer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Used to do this 45 years ago healed while sailing in a straight line jumping off the bow and landing on the stern
totally love this - halyard swings but most of all your video 😅
It’s not for everyone is it! 😉
I know it’s been three years, but this sh*t should go viral! Awesome stuff!! Esp the brilliant singing 😮😅❤
This video was awesome 😂
FAF just reading the instructions. will watch now.
What a great video, now I need to book a trip. Great sense of humor!
Our 1st thought - NO. Not watching that one & we did resist - one month later & getting lockdown bored we did ! :-) Humm - that has to be a video theme jibe. I'll just ask this:- just how many fun reshoots and how many hours of editing 'fun' from multiple camera's did it take to get it nailed ?? :-) good to watch but we are a bit older & wiser now? or maybe not ! lol you get the thumbs up & a like again :-)
Ha thanks yes this was controversial amongst us. One side said "we are responsible, we should never show this" and the other side said "everyone we know loves doing this, if it's done properly it isn't dangerous, it's fun, so let's show people the proper way". You can see which side won that debate. :)
@@SailingVirgins No arguement there guys & thanks so much for your excellent videos :-) have fun out there and hope to meet you in the future sometime - 'yeh' :-) P.S. any plans for a bit of VHF work ? How to prevent gas build up in the bilge ? so many aspects to learn - phew.
@@SailingVirgins a bilge explosion in case you haven't seen this on Sailing in a Nutshell - they definately sail in a tough nutshell ua-cam.com/video/pDqQpPJy7MQ/v-deo.html
Awesome intro 😂
LOL!!!! Great video! Red heads are awesome! Or is it Ginger? Who cares! LOL!!!!
I think that might have been the fastest subscribe I've ever done.
Daily videos would be epic! if at all feasible...
Guided morning routine would be sick too!

LMAO you guys never fail to impress me
Ha ha ha , have fun full blast !!! till u u can and never stop
This video is so underrated lol
Hahahahaha what a great video😂😂
my brother has done a few unplanned swings similar to this on his AC (arafura cadet) turns out they have a tendency to nosedive if you arent vigilant
Can you do this on a catamaran as well or only a monohull?
that was AMAZING :)
Guys, you're awesome !
Thanks Tatiana!
