BOATS CAUGHT IN DANGEROUS WAVES AT CAPBRETON INLET | BOAT ZONE

  • Similar to the Haulover Inlet, the Passe du Boucarot in Capbreton, France, is famous for its heavy shore breaks and some extraordinary waves.
    Off the coast of Capbreton is a deep and large canyon due to the movements of large tectonic plates between France and Spain. The sea floor rises quite fast towards the coast, which explains why the waves can be so traitorous at the inlet entrance. Given specific movements of the entering and retiring tides, along with strong currents due to the canyon, and accentuated by large surf coming to shore, the inlet can become quite risky.
    The original access to the harbor was only developed in the 70s with the actual inlet built as we know it now.
    Regarding the port of Capbreton, it is the only fishing port in the entire Landes department.
    There are three types of fishing boats in that harbor: caseyeurs, fileteurs and chalutiers.
    The "caseyeurs" are boats that live cages on the bottom of the ocean, like the lobstermen would do in Maine. The "fileteurs" let long fishing strings in the wake of the boat, such as casual fishermen would do. The "chalutiers" (fishing trawler) are much more destructive to the environment. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers.

    Many of these sailboats are under motor assist entering and exiting the channel.
    Even the PETS have life vests on...Miami and Boco could learn a thing or two.😉
    The only thing lacking are the credit card captains, and the self-absorbed twerkers here in the states! 🤣

    This video makes it jump to the eye the much better seaworthyness of sailing boats when compared with motor ones of the same size.
    Not everything is speed. I was once said that a good ship is that which safely carries her crew to the destination. ; -)
    Of course I'm a "sailing guy"

      If you are entering the inlet in these conditions with a heavy boat the rudder may loose grip because the stern is out of the water. Then there is a serious risk of a broach which isn‘t a good thing in the narrow entrance. It‘s not so easy at all.

  • @cannonsovercharged

    1:51 These are all displacement craft. They can carry unlimited weight with minimal performance loss. These boats weigh (displace) almost 20,000 pounds. When sailing normally (not over a bar with counter current and wind) these boats hit big, ten thousand pound waves, and smash them into spray and knife through them effortlessly, without spilling your long stem merlot glass... leaving no wake, just a few bubbles and whirlpools of wasted energy

    4:55 Apparently motoring with auxiliary power (usually a small inboard 4-cylinder diesel on sailboats of this size), he's catching some waves and occasionally exceeding hull speed, significantly surfing along.

    Love seeing something new other than Haulover. This is not all that rough for a sailing vessel. Not the same as a center console. Love your notes.
    FYI There is a movie by Laura Dekker. She had to get permission from the Danish Government. It took her almost a year. She began her circumnavigation at 14.

    About sailboats are not to accurate. But the video does
    Show that displacement hulls

      Generally yes. But planing hulls and keels can be combined for sail-surfing in the open ocean. It can be safe, fast, and highly exhilarating under the right conditions.

    1:38 Six knots is fast when you eat crackers and cheese, drink some wine, have some drinks, eat a fancy dinner, sing some songs, go to sleep, take the next watch and find yourself 60 miles from where you started while burning no gas. Your range is limited by how many whiskey bottles you have aboard. All the while, it's quiet, water gurgling, music playing softly or strumming a guitar, trolling or swimming if wind dies, if wind gets stronger: popping queefs in the mainsail

  • @SailingAnja
    @SailingAnja Рік тому +6

    8 interesting facts about sailing boatzone wasn't sure about lol.
    5 to 8 knots of wind does not make it easy to sail, it is actually harder to make good speed as the sails need to be trimmed perfectly.
    Lots of monohulls exceed 9 knots and most medium sized boats sail best with winds between 10 and 18 knots and sail fast above that with sails reefed anywhere upto 25 knots.
    Anyway.. i do enjoy the video as you see the better captains with lifejackets and some sense.

    Most cruising sailboats are RCD cat A. Your weekend motor cruiser isn’t.
    Sail boats may not be fast, but until you have experienced a fully powered up sailing boat at 8-9 kts with a balanced trim, you haven’t lived.

    Crossing any inlet can be difficult. The shallow water around the entrance\exit forces the waves to build and break. The great thing about a sailboat is the massive rudder gives you better control than a power boat when you’re surfing.

    You guys don't understand the difference between a V-hull and a displacement hull, do you. I'm actually shocked that someone didn't just sail by drinking a cup of coffee. The speed of a sailboat is limited to the theoretical speed design of the hull, fast racing boats have a very different hull design than a cruiser, too fast on a regular sailboat, it might just get sucked under the water, that's why "surfing" a sailboat down a wave can be so dangerous.

    • @TheDivegeek
      @TheDivegeek 7 місяців тому +1

      The wise captain stows (or deploys) his fenders when he has plenty of time and space, and nothing else demanding attention. My fenders stay out until I'm miles out to sea and steady on a comfortable course, and on the way back they get deployed miles from the inlet. It doesn't hurt anything if they're out for an hour. Or three.
