1. Rule number one for us as relatively new sailors (sailing for 5 yrs coastal): reef before you need to.

2. 66ft is a lot of boat for a middle-aged couple, or any couple. Why not a ketch to split up the sail area?

3. Thisboat way too big for two people ,
   At least need 6 peole

4. Have to check the weather satellite constantly and be ahead of the need to reef the sails before its too late…

5. Reef often, and reef early…unless you're racing. This accident shouldn't have happened. Always amazes me at the money some people will spend on their boats, but lack truly safe, easy to handle equipment. You don't need the biggest floating condo, you need a boat that's adequate and easy to sail for the crew you have. That being said…I hate boom furlers.

6. First practical lesson on a boat: ALWAYS WATCH OUT FOR THE BOOM

7. Many years ago I experienced the massive power of a controlled jibe, mainsheet. This was a few years after a very experienced sailor, I knew, who was killed by the main sheet, in the late '90s. Idk if it was a controlled or uncontrolled jibe & I'll leave it at that.

8. Fck the furling booms and other idiotic so called inventions.

9. Where was the big shark in all this!

10. No one deserves this after working towards their life's goal may they RIP n have a better sailing were they are

11. Sad Story. But I must say that the old ways are the best ways. Why a sloop? Split rigs were designed to reduce pressure on the sails, especially on such a big boat. Making it easier for a two-handed crew to handle one smaller sail at a time. The forces on these sails are massive. Secondly, it did not matter what the reefing mechanism was. Reefing downwind in a gale is virtually impossible, especially with a main. Why they did not turn upwind earlier and reef, I do not know. This is why I am not good at following orders.

12. RIP Annelie und Karl

13. Dreaming of retirement fully exposed to the raw powers of nature, the sea, the winds, just seems like too dangerous a plan and doomed to fail sooner or later. When you plan to fight the powers of nature, during your weakening time of your life you better come prepared with well thought out equipment and fully trained. – Operator error must not be a possibility

14. What a sad story.

15. I saw this vessel sitting at dock in halifax ns (technically dartmouth) with 'USCG' spray-painted on the hull.

16. Though shall fool with mother nature.

17. if it bleeds, it leeds… but thanks for the warning

18. Seems no one knows about "heave to", which is best way to deal with a main sail furling or reefing…. maybe too old school…

19. You did not say anything about their sailing experience. Or they were novices who had just money and bough a modern toy?

20. You really need to find a better graphics guy. Your uncontrolled gybe animation in this video showed the wind changing in the opposite direction as would cause a crash gybe, and in your video about the anchor that crashed through the coast guard boat, despite repeatedly saying the boats crashed "port bow to port bow" you overlaid graphics that made it look like the tanker hit the coastguards ship from behind, port to starboard. Makes your content seem untrustworthy/poorly researched. Also there are no ropes on a boat… they are called lines.

21. This makes me want a Yawl or Ketch rig…. Underrated after a certain size….

22. I had a third reef installed on my mainsail and I installed a wind-vane autopilot on my boat before going around the Atlantic solo for the first time. I often put in one more reef than necessary, and always reduced sails before night fall until the morning, even though it reduces speed. I always thought, if I was sailing with a more experienced sailor, they would go crazy because I'm too cautious and it makes the ocean crossing longer. But after seeing this, I'm thinking maybe that's the right way to go after all, that and the wind-vane autopilot. Especially between Bermuda and Nova Scotia.

23. Yeah, someone more inclined to fkn commission a boat rather than get experience is doomed to remain a pseudosailor lol

24. You know you're more concerned with pretention than practicality when you insist on saying zero-onehundred rather than 1am 😅

25. very well presented as usual

26. Your explanation about a gybe is just not correct.
    The windshift you describe will only cause the main to start acting like a flag, always pointing in the downward wind direction.
    Still your theory about the risks of a gybe makes sense. It is completely underestimated.

27. Karl & his wife Anne Marie ––- died of hemorrhaging & shock ––– It happens more often than people realize

28. kudos to the two americans who tried their damndest to secure and steer a boat that wasnt theirs towards safety, and to keep the injured couple as comfortable and safe as possible. rest in peace to the couple.

29. Old, skinnyfat, and weak. Nobody who breaks that easily should be doing anything remotely dangerous. But if anyone had advised them of this they wouldn't have listened.

30. This channel is top-notch, i have learned so much !!

31. Cominsese if you are short handed reduce sail at night no matter what the weather
