1. So basically there was no Captain in command.

2. 20+ yrs of racing experience – this is great advice.

3. Good video, usefull. Nice expensive boat, totally unsuited to heavy weather. Need more expertise, not less, on such a boat.

4. Those "9 line" MAYDAY instructions are wrong.

5. lolol

6. weather report before going out maybe

7. I can't believe they didn't bring umbrellas aboard when seeing it's overcast.

8. I dont like jib furlers. In 70 knots they are terrible. A storm jib is made of heavy material and its hanked on. So you can drop the main completely. And yep I know what 70 knots is like in a 25 foot light trailerable boat! We simply surfed. But very scary

9. IF the jib is already out of control and you can't furl it or get it controlled, should you not release the sheets? Yes it will flail, but it will have very little or no power in it. If released, if you keep a small amount of tension on the sheets to prevent tangling you may be able to furl it in, no? I'm asking; been sailing about 6 years but never in conditions like this. As far as life jackets go, to me that was a no-brainer from setting out in this kind of wind.

10. greet debrief cap! kai lenny mentioned you in a facebook comment 😂 hell yeah

11. Who expects fair weather charter people to know how to handle the boat in heavy weather? Nobody. As for the mast, oh well, it's a rental.

12. Weather reports ( as many as you can find ) are your friend. Respect the weather-window you are given. Ripped BOTH my sails moving my boat to a safe anchorage the day before Hurricane Sandy. Such a crappy moment thanks to Danny for coming out in his fishing boat and towing us into the harbor we were lucky that time.

13. Genuinely what a bunch of morons. The guy is captain in name only, absolute disgrace.

14. An excellent example of how not to do it. Practically everything they did was wrong from start to finish. The skipper should lose his job if he was a professional.

15. As a sailmaker, it’s good to analyze the sail cloth weight/construction of the sails to indicate how much the boat could possibly handle in heavy weather. Also, the weakest/least experienced crew member should dictate the level of weather intensity. Going beyond that eliminates them as an asset which makes them now a liability.

16. Can you cut the sails?

17. This is why I watch videos about sailing the high seas from the comfort of my arm chair on terra firma. I am qualified as "Competent Crew" by the Royal Yacht Association, but after my 3 day sailing course had ended and we docked for the last time, I knelt down and kissed the ground. Never again for me. Hats off to all brave souls who ply the Seven Seas to keep trade moving.

18. Newbie question: I got my Day Skipper last year, and last week did my first charter in BVI, 30knots max, no problems. I was wondering about your statement that the jib is always furled first. Is this the case for all jibs, or only big genoas? I've always done it sequentially 1 reef in main, then some jib. It seems to help weather helm. Thanks for a very interesting video.

19. Having spent decades sailing the Greek islands in the Med, I'm well aware of way the way that the Meltemi winds can funnel between the islands and that wind is not exceptional in the Med, but as you say, had they been properly prepared and briefed beforehand, it would have saved a lot of panic.

20. A catalogue of errors.

21. when this situation hapens, maybe before waves get to high, make 360°turns until you wrap the jib around the forestay.

22. 80? Are you kiddin me? I think you have to invest in new measurements…

23. Very helpful video, but the background music should be deleted

24. Familiarity breeds contempt. In this instance, fair weather sailors with no respect for the power of nature. Why wait so long to reef a roller furling jib is beyond me. You saw and felt the squall coming. Then you try and furl under pressure. Life jackets improperly worn is like not having any at all. You're going to drown in those seas. Lastly I am going on 70 years old which makes me question safety and risk before I do anything. How often do people drive just down the hwy in a shirt in winter with no coat or gloves. Then a flat or skid off the road etc. You going to walk now? Same with the boat. Never leave the boat and always wear the safety tether on deck. Always plan for the worst. A rollover would have been the end of this bunch.

25. Why not turn into wind before reefing? Loosening the main sheet to shield the jib in that weather would be suicidal!

26. Why dont people hove too anymore?

27. I learned this the hard way
