28 foot yacht semi knock down by breaking wave in stormy seas

😅

Was not even close to a knock down though. yes a bit bigger wave.

Easy to quarterback but prob better to manually steer in those conditions....

Holy shit

nice one :)

We didn’t hear it raining cabin contents good sailor

I'm glad I only use inland waters with my 28 foot boat ... 😮

Shit! All ya can say really!

Why where you sailing PARALELL to the waves ??

Real Sailor right here… Pirate spirit indeed

by night 😑😑

Why take large waves to your mid-ships? You will get knocked down, or turned over completely!!

Jesus!

Nasty

Never get beam on to a breaking wave in heavy seas.

Avoir un régulateur d’allures et ne pas s’en servir dans ces conditions ???

30 anni per mare mi hanno fatto capire che in burrasca non ci si diverte.

That was a remarkably calm comment after than kind of event. Hard to make out, but did you get to about 60 degrees of heel? Must have felt like you were on your head.
You can see why so much effort goes into Category A yachts and you might curse bashing your shin on the companionway lip a little less for how these details help keep us all alive and safe. Rather you than me, and I am amazed at how calm you sound. Amazing control 😊

Sven Irvind has been capsized many times once off Cape Horn.

YIKES

Gotta love a good heavy keel! Powerboat would be in deep shyte.

Semi-breaking wave

Your boat recovered well. Easy to armchair quarterback the situation - I don't want to do that, but I do want to ask why you didn't head up to meet the wave at a slightly steeper angle? Thanks for posting!

When the waves hiss, they are harmless.
When they curl, you are going to get slapped hard.

Dude forget your course when have big waves.
Go 45° in to them or even up to 30° sometimes.
Or go 135° -155° down wind from wave if not have a lee shore approaching. Mid Atlantic or Pacific I do not care much about courses.

so nothing happened; why is this so scary. boats are designed to handle this.

Nicely battened down. Well done.

And that right there is why you need a good blue water boat.

Peed my pants just watching the video..!

...oh shhh

Need some coke to stay awake for 72 hours.

It's his fault. You need to cut the waves in a 45 degree angle, not parallel.

you came to sideways to the waves

Shit!

💩

Why would you be on auto helm in these conditions?????

How do people even sleep on a passage especially at night?

In general yachts are classified as being 30 ft or longer. 28ft ain’t quite a yacht. And bowsprits don’t count😂

That's quite a discrete ans controlled 'shit'

Good job you was looking up for that one you could have let your mrs know shes probably wearing the stew

This is why I dread going on the sea - but, if I knew the boat could handle things maybe

The Vancouver 28 is a capable yacht ⛵❤️

Thats why sailboat - the sails and 45ft mast = best rough water boats around. Ill own sail boat 100% but ill never sail in this modern age f that its just stupid

Yeah that looked really terrifying.

Too close
