Trailer for documentary. Voyage on the classic wooden schooner "Harvey Gamage" from Virgin Islands to Bermuda to Gloucester. Exciting heavy weather action in the North Atlantic.
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
its not fun when u do it for days

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

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