Thanks so much for posting this! You have a new subscriber. The waves you caught on video were pretty significant – can only imagine what the one that rolled you must have been like. I am planning on a Bermuda to Europe crossing in my CAL34 (no WS!) in the next two years (currently in Panama) and was thinking I have to avoid conditions like this!!!. What would you advise to a fellow cruiser? Go earlier in the season? Use a forecasting service and avoid confused (edddie vs wind) seas? Can such local conditions be reliably forecasted? Keep hatchboards in at all times? Remove bimini + bimjni mounted solar panels before a crossing? Also, would be interested to learn how quickly your cockpit drains? I have enlarged my original two plus added two new but still worried that in those sort of seas i might get swamped. Appreciate any insights you are able to share.

Very glad I watched this video. As an "armchair" sailor dreaming of a pretty tough solo (NW Europe to Patagonia and back), I fully realise I've got to accept that this type of near-fatal accident is part of the overall risk. Rogue waves eh.. bummer. Glad you weren't washed overboard!

We were knocked down in the Tasman but only just over 90 degrees was our guess. Not much came loose as we were hove to and had warning. It was a freak wave though and we thought things were improving when it hit us. My friend with me hurt his shoulder when Jimmy Cornell's cruising routes hit him there. It was buried in a top loading locker but when it came out it got him. Anyone who knows that book will know why it hurt….We also had an interior light fitting bent and we dont know how, possible the book hit it on route but it was a mystery. By luck we got no water in the saloon. Our dodger was bent all over the place and that was it. We were lucky I suppose.
