GREAT video! I love when sailors show things going wrong and how they managed it. Of course there are always critics. I've had the same problem and I winched the furler line on my biggest winch. I was nervous, but it worked when I just couldn't pull it by hand. Thanks again!

That was very enjoyable. Most of us have had similar situations. Thanks for sharing it.

Super easy to comment from the comfort of an armchair in the warm.

Going forwards with no lifeline and no life jacket is just a huge risk. If you had gone overboard what would have happened to your passengers?

What surprises me is that you've sailed before, you had put a reef in, but still didn't put a life jacket/harness on from the start. Those water temperatures are no joke!

Still every mistake is a chance to learn. Looking forward to more content. Cheers!

If you couldn't turn downwind to blanket the jib with main, you might have tried heaving to, backing the jib if you had enough sea room? Given that the high winds from a storm like that only last a limited period of time hence not as much room needed – you would be making way at only a knot or so? It's actually a very nice/peaceful way to go even in relatively high winds, but you have to practice it a bit.

I highly recommend running a jackline around your boat, have a HID(inflates if you go overboard)life jacket and tether for everyone on deck for situations like that.
Also practice heaving to. A tiny drum like that of your furler system can more effectively be wound in by hand. Mine has holes on the top of the drum, and I've worked out that I can use a homemade tool to wind it in extreme conditions that no lines can. If you crank it under those severe loads, it will jam, and possibly shear off. If that happens it can easily snap your forestay. Weather radio and apps are your best friend on the water. Stay safe captain!

Such a stressful situation.As long as I sail my boat, me and all of my crew are wearing lifejackets, not negotiable. especially inflatable ones don’t really take any space and can save your life. I’m a Coast Guard volunteer in New Zealand, so lifejacket is a no brainer. Tether at night and when the weather turns ugly. Right call to keep any crew members not essential safe inside. Good on you to reflect on your mistakes so we can all learn from it.I didn’t really get it when you mentioned to read the weather from the watercraft.I ripped my Genoa on my 1st sail….beautiful boat bro, have fun and stay safe on the water

Fun and games, been there a few times. You have to slam it into wind immediately and it takes some doing, a tiller is ur mate in that situation. Bearing off is ok but you gotta let it all go and it can be bloody hairy indeed if something gets jammed. Anyway glad it all ended safely.
