Why did so many abandon yachts in the 1979 Fastnet, only to lose their lives in liferafts while their boats were recovered afloat? Yachting Monthly and Mike Golding capsized a yacht to find out, and tested a few cheap, quick modifications that make life below much safer in a capsize.

The team at Yachting TV have been working with Yachting Monthly to produce the videos in our Crash Test Boat series. Video producer Steve Adams has been making broadcast TV for 20 years. He is the founder of Yachting TV.

  • Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40

  • @lucaspoznanski4322 They should have a flap on them which keeps them closed.

  • Guys, what kind of boat is it? Looks very tough!

  • if you guys where paying attention... he said the water came from the air vents and the open hatch

    

  • can you explain where all the water came from?

  • Brilliant vid guys =) I love figuring out what's going on down there when boats you see find their hulls in direct sunlight. Some of those boats you see getting slammed from the waves are just so strong. hope the boat recovered.

    =)

  • What about the head? Did much water come out of the toilet?

  • Thank you so much fot this test. A real eye opening sight that brings you closer to reality and the need to plan seriously for risk avoidance on board. Better see it now before it happens to you unprepared.

  • Great test guys! Greetings from Greece! 

  • Very interesting video. It seemed alot of water was coming from the high side as she rolled. Must have been trapped there from before. Great test though.

    P.S. is that boat going cheap now?!
