That vid brings back memories of rounding Hatteras on the Spirit of Mass in 1992. We were hit by 2 gail force 10 squals. All hands were called at 2am to take in sail. It tore all 7 sails on the boat and dislodged the engine. We were hove to for more than 12 hours. I will never forget it, it was one of the best times of my life.
No offense, but at that time we called the Harvey Gamage the, Heavy Damage.
yea i like the boats. that is what i have done sinse 1998. when it is calm i love but when you got 80 mile hour winds and 20 to 30 foot seas for 3 straight days i can't stand it. i always say when it is good it is ok when it is bad it is really bad. after 12 years i got salt water ruineing threw my veins.
Plenty of sailors are up for it. I'd like to see a clipper ship section in the volvo race and a schooner class, that would be cool, see these boys in the southern ocean
omg! I used to fly lots and always thought pilots were brave with the things we did , but sailing on the high seas , I take my hat off toyou sailing one of those babys !!

Do new schooners have a way of detecting high waves or bad weather that they can navigate with, such as a satellite?

Well, she was build for that.
Question is, are todays sailors still up to it ?

Guess you're rght.
But sailing a modern race-yaucht is miles away from tackling the riggings af a classic skooner.
