  • in holland we have a saying; the best skippers stand on shore....

  • that's why they talk so much. Inexperienced crew is quiet and that is dangerous because you don't know what is going on in their heads ..... and if there is a fuck up and everybody keeps quiet you don't know what are they up to. Experienced guys talk and then everybody knows what is going on.

  • in soviet russia boat gybe you

  • У нас в России говорят - лучшие шкипера - дома на диване с ноутбуком на пузе))))

    In Russia we say - the best skipper - home on the couch with a laptop on the belly))))

  • Ah, the problems of shifting ballast, as spoken of in numerous publications....Still, the boat didn't capsize, only laid on its side...

    Still, to claim the crew "inexperienced"...I don't know...

  • at 0:33 it looks like there was a mistake to turn the wheel towards starboard.

    Scary situation, but one should be prepared how to act, not discuss...

  • @Macsheap 'cause we know better. No need to go on the wet seas to pee our pants...when we can do it on dry land!

  • tense

  • @xylady2 you are correct but they do have a dagger board that is retractable google volvo open 70 and youll see

  • @pg911a5 they do not have two keels, they have a canting keel which let them have the keel on the windward side of the boat, thus when the boat gybed, the keel was still on the other side, causing them to capsize, they eased the sails and moved the keel to the windward side which enabled them to level the boat and get going again.

  • The boys thought that they were going to take a walk a little bit ... random people are together ... This is not the crew ... a6km you said correctly - they are talking to much!

    " give me a knife" - the best joke......lol
