Thank you for sharing that. The waves never look as big on camera as they really are. What were the waves? I was 30 miles out this past May in 35 Kts sustained with 8 to 10 feet waves with the occasional 15 foot wave coming by. Is that similar to what you had? The feeling with a following sea is quite interesting and if the waves are not breaking too badly it's actually enjoyable at times. Thanks again for your post.

Nice video. I have started looking around at some new boats. Shannons are on my list as well as Cabo Ricos or a cape dory 36.

Sailboats have keels.... that counter-act the heeling..

Thats awesome! I dont know much about sailing, but I'm curious, how do you keep the boat from tipping over from the wind?

@ciao614 Alex has his priorities. He would never let his rum spill.
One hand for the rum, one hand for the boat and your butt cheeks to hold on with! : ^ )

I wonder what the sails where set at was the jib up or just the main? it looked like the main was up at least. I take it the boat was on auto pilot?

The boat is a cutter rig but in these condition we just had a high cut Yankee hank on jib and a double reefed main with a preventer. The boat has dual head stays. Autopilot steering while i filmed..

I like the reference to Herb. All ways listen to Herb and heed his advice.

Herb is the MAN. It will be a sad day when he retires.
Love your vids!
