Yacht in a storm, 50kts and big waves.

[sailingunlimited]

One would have to have experienced 50+ knots of wind and the resultant wave action to know. I have done so many times; usually with a lot less sail carried and often bare-poled or laying ahull with a sea anchor deployed from the bows windward fairlead and the tiller lashed to leeward. No way is this video showing 50 knots of wind and wave action. No way.

[BooBooNZ]

Look lads im not one to talk shit, I don’t want to argue about how much it was blowing with people who were not there and are basing their opinions on I very bad quality video. It was windy OK- fu*ken windy, take my word for it. Look at all my other vids, I have done a lot of sailing and been through a lot of storms. Appreciate it for what it is. Take your own video of some great sailing, don't just pick apart others.....

[BooBooNZ]

@sailingunlimited Remember 50kts is not really that much wind. you are talking about it like its survival conditions but in that stuff we are still racing.

[sailingunlimited]

There is absolutely no way that piece of footage depicts 50 knots of wind.It may be that such wind speed was registered during the course of the passage; who knows? What is shown is around 30 knots of wind, maybe a bit more.

[OezkanOOOO]

he is filming under the lower line of the reling. of course, from this view al waves look big. you know nothing

[OezkanOOOO]

And it is typically for americans, that they think they know alll better.

"Noone knows better like me, because I am an american. and our president says, we are gods own country."

I shit on you americans!you onjly can make war, all over the world. Noone likes americans! I saw, that you have an own boat. But as you talk, you never was on opes seas by 50 Knots! THIS I KNOW!

[OezkanOOOO]

He should show the log, with his camera! This may be 35 knots.

[BooBooNZ]

You are a muppet, you deliver bavaria's and lagoons, they are the caravans of the sea..... I bet you sail with the autopilot the whole time.... have you been around cape horn??? I HAVE... in fact not only around the horn but 2000nm through the southern ocean and around cape horn on an open 60 without a mast under jury rig.

[OezkanOOOO]

I drove many diferent boats.

Mostly Bavarias and Lagoons. It is my job. I am a skipper for renting.

And this is NOT 50 Knots!!!

[BooBooNZ]

To give you an idea, I am also a professional sailor, and have done WAY more than you will ever do....

look at the rest of my videos. there is lots of proof there if you dont believe me.

some of the offshore races i have done- Sydney Hobart x 3, Tasman triangle, Transatlantic, Capetown to Rio, Fastnet, Transpac, Middle sea race, Auckland to Fiji x2, Auckland to Noumea x2, Round North island 2 handed, HK to Vietnam race x 2, china sea race, 120,000nm offshore sailing.

[BooBooNZ]

Google search 2007 middle sea race for the reports, we finished 3rd out of the 15 finishers and 75 starters. the race is from malta, around sicily and stromboli then back. all the locals said this was the worst storm int he area for many years, some saw over 60kts but we only saw 55kts max.

[OezkanOOOO]

Of course I klnow, and I see he is driving with try-sails. but this is not 10 Beaufort.

you are like fishers. Your fishes are always sooo big. I can not explain in english very well. The wavetops should break by 10bf.

[OezkanOOOO]

don't lie to me. You don't like women.

[OezkanOOOO]

hahaha 50 knots?

what a bullshit!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO And you know this how? You know nothing of sailing or weather, but you pretend to know how big the waves are and how fast the wind was from your arm chair?

You are indeed a moron.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau I have about 20.000 nm

you are stupid like a dog. a typical american sucker.

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO LOL!  Yea, sure. You're a child that pretends a lot and know nothing of sailing on the open ocean. Go back and take a nap. When you wake up you'll be in a whole new world.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau go and let a pig fuck you into your as. this is only thing you can do.

you pig fucking gay.american bastard. you son of a dog fucking bitch and a german shepard.

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO Yea.. Anyway, you have no idea how many knots of wind these sailors were experiencing. You are a typical arm chair sailor that watches other peoples' videos and makes moronic comments as if you know something that you don't.

I've been in similar conditions to this, and with three reefs in, it could well be 50 knots.

With your response, I can see that you are probably a very young child that has no facts, so thinks foul language will make a point. It does not, but it exposes you.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau shut up, you pig fucking gay. stupid american shiteater. the only ships you drove were in your bathtube.

noone likes americans, because they are such stupid pigs like you. you know nothing. only thing you know is how to bomb children and torture girls.

put your gun into your ashole and shoot out your brain. dogcocksucker!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO Does that really work on anyone? Do you somehow feel really powerful because you have mastered monosyllabic and filthy words? LOL!

Anyway, do you have any knowledge of video in a marine environment? Do you understand that you cannot ascertain wind speed from watching a video? There is no objectivity while sitting at home, so you have to take the word of the people that are there.

One day when you get your big boy pats on you will realize these complex things.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau do you have a wife? I think you shoukld visit me. then you can learn how to fuck your wife like a turkish man by watching us fucking hard and not like you, I am sure, your wife will be happy, if you tell her about it.

and you should sometimes wash your cock, because it is smelling like fish. Tell your wife about my clean cutted cock and promise her, her bigest dreams will come true.

you american gaylord

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO So, you didn't answer me when I asked if you had any knowledge of marine video. Guess not. You did say something about having like, 20 nautical miles experience, right?  Is that a WHOLE 20 nm? Did you learn to sail on a simulator?

Just asking because you don't seem to really know anything about sailing. You seem to have trouble focusing on the subject. So you're from Turkey? I would have thought you might have a bit more experience, but keep reading and I'll teach you.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau we both know 2 things: you know how to bomb children und how to torture little girls, because this is the speciality of all americans.

And I know how to sail and how to make your wife happy. Why you diddn't told her about my plan to make her praying for more more more?!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO I have no idea what you're babbling about. Perhaps you need to take the other half of that Prozac that the doctor prescribed for you. You sound like either your meds are wearing off or your drunk.

Because you have shown no prowess for sailing, and know nothing of the sea, I think we can all rest easy that you indeed have no idea really how hard the wind was on the day of this video. I'll stick to my original premise that the person that posted it is probably right and a good sailor.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau i think you have no wife. this is the problem!

because you are gay. ofcourse, you like to get a big fat cock into your ashole. And I think you start loving me. Tell me the truth: do you want my cock? then beg for it, you little bitch!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO You seem to keep wanting to talk about sex with me. Do all men in your country have a fixation with wanting to talk about sex with other men? Really, stick to the subject of the video an quit asking me to have sex with you. I'm not your type - I only like women.

How could you possibly think that the wind is slower than 50 knots? Do you understand the conditions that it takes to cause an ocean to produce waves of the size in the video?

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau And of course, you think you are so intelligent, and I am stupid, because I can not speak english as good as you.

I tell you, I can speak turkish, german, russian, a little bit italian and egnlish!

So, what are you able to speak? I think you know nothing else, but english, because you are americans and you think all others must talk like you. You think you are the kings of the world. But in your shit country more people stay hungry than in my country. Because USA IS SHIT!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO Perhaps you should pick one and learn it well. You've done a great job learning filthy language, so perhaps you could learn to speak respectfully to others.

Now, what boat do you own? How many hours/nm sailing experience do you have? How can you tell the wind speed from a video?

You have not talked about the video or how to gauge weather yet. I'm trying to understand why you think you could know the wind speed from the video.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau I said, I am a skipper for rent. the company I am working for is renting boats. Mostly bavaria monohulls and lagood catamarans and I am a skipper, who is for rent by groups.

i have about 20,000 nm.

and this is maybe 35 knots. because the wavetops are not braking.

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO You claim all that but you still don't understand waves and weather. Sad... Either you're exaggerating your experience, or you just really have no clue.

50 knots is probably about right for this video, but you reply back and use as much foul language as you can. It's a sign of how wrong you are, but hey, if it makes you feel more like a sailor, go for it.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau of course, if someone knows not eglish language very well, then he can not be a sailor.

you stupid american gay. I ask you again: what can you?

I shit on america, and I shit on english language and I shit on you!

babykillers.

you know nothing. you are a good weather sailor, for weakend. nothing more.

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO LOL! You're a funny little person. You are becoming boring though, so I'll leave you to try to rile someone else, because you just make me laugh at you.

Maybe you should spend you time working and improving your country instead of blaming others for your problems. From what I read, your country is a mess, and after seeing your responses, I understand why.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau I ask you again, how many languages do you speak?

I think no more, but english!

you are a stupid man. Someone had shit in your brain. american gaylord.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau I saw your videos and you are a typically good weather sailor.

so don't lie, by telling me you were sailing by 50 knots.

you wasn't, and this video, he wasn't too.

[OezkanOOOO]

@tomperanteau beg for it, get down on your knees. kiss my feet, american gay. yeah suck my toes. Suck it. Say, you love my cock. Say you want my cock. Open your mouth, then I will piss into it. drink it, you american sucker. it's tasty, yeah. drink it. and now call me daddy!

[tomperanteau]

@OezkanOOOO Can you reply intelligently? Do you understand the sea?  What type boat do you own? What does it mean when the man states that he has tied in the third reef? Do you know anything about it?

[BenjaminFranklin99]

Nobody races in 80 knots of wind, ever.

[BooBooNZ]

You are the man, one day when i grow up i want to be just as tough as you!

Bullshit aside thou, this video was taken in the 2007 middle sea race, out of 75 starters only 15 finished (yes we finished), a few boats were lost including the RP65 'Loki' from sydney (built to handle the sydney hobart) all these boats were not just local club racers but all the best offshore racers from all around the world. So your claim that this is normal sailing conditions is utter bollocks.

[iappsdev]

50 knots it's not even near the storm, it's a normal racing weather for us in Japan Sea. We race on the 25 foot yachts Conrad-25 in much worse conditions, like 80 knots wind and 20 - 25 foot waves with just one storm jib. I would call this kind conditions storm, but not 50 knots. :)

[nickolastd21]

@iappsdev i thing your numbers have been translated wrong

[tomperanteau]

@iappsdev LOL! You've obviously never sailed. 80 knots wind produces much larger than 20-25 foot seas.

You know NOTHING of what you speak. Get a few thousand miles of sailing under your belt before you try to make a fool of yourself.

[glockrocker19]

exellent sailing,good trim! NO FETCH-NO FUN ! :o)

[Kapiti007]

Thats looks like Cook Strait weather on a normal day.

Peterski111 is a poo hole !

I dare anyone sailor to take on Cooks (if it is) in 50knts.

A recent storm saw yachts out in gusts of 80knts on Weliington Habour.

I think peterski111 would be crying for his mum.

Good on ya BooBoo !!!!!

[BooBooNZ]

OK tough guy.............

[peterski111]

This is not a storm.

[biscayforce12]

@peterski111

Yes it is a storm. Beaufort Scale: 48-55kts = Storm force 10

[niallmacallister]

chicken feed

[brokentiller]

Cat or Tri: very stable upside down too!

[Fussinated]

@brokentiller And a mono: once filled with water, down you go.

[enj471]

If you want very stabe.. buy a catamaran

[ollekebolleke007]

or a trimaran :p

[Iplaywow21]

Could you tell me what model of boat this is. It looks very stable in those conditions. =)

[gmakhs]

@Iplaywow21 its a sail boat :) sail boats can handle bad weather :)
