''This is Kon Tiki I want to enter the marina'' All boats are like ''Wait until we leave''

Ooookay let's see. Some are not fails (just old boats being left to their fate), some aren't even sailboats. Some are old. Most are old, in fact. A lot of it seems to be content lifted from elsewhere and repackaged. If you gonna do it, get your own content ;)

OK, so I saw ONE inexperienced sailor. The rest were force majeure, accidents, or not applicable. By the way, I have been sailing for 30 years, and recently, while docking, I put my boat in forward instead of reverse. Mistakes happen. Does not make you an idiot.

The captain of Kon Tiki is a legend at this point.

So... in that whole video there were a lot of broken moorings (nobody onboard), some testing, some racing, a broken mast, a crane driver fail, and then about 3 actual idiots. At least two boats weren't even sailboats... It's hard to call the video "Idiots on Sail Boats". However, I often say that "when there's no skills required then there's normally no skills acquired". Thankfully sailing boat accidents are very few compared with power boats... and I attribute this very much to the skills required to sail, and what sort of person that attracts. You can't just jump in a sailboat and set-off.

The joys of sailing

A lot of these are storm related. You have photos of hurricane sunk vessels, boats that have dragged anchor or been caught in heavy seas, engine failures, reefs etc. The best sailors have suffered these accidents.

How can anybody like watching lovely boats come to grief.

Wow! A very impressive collection. My favourites is yacht running amock in the marina with several others moored stern too. I don't want yo see the bill for that...

Capt of Kon Tiki was like, "Right laddys, chuf the Lew! Skim the privvy! Helmsman! Come hard amidship on my jibe! Make fast the baton hank! Steaddy"

Sometimes good people get caught in bad situations. Sometimes, good people make bad decisions. Sometimes people's arrogance keeps them from giving up while they're still a little bit ahead.

Clip 1: Not a crash. Clip 2: Not a crash. Clip 3: Not a sailboat. Viewer: I've given you all I can today.

I thought Idiots was a strong description. Wrong!! LOL!! Great video!

entièrement d'accord on ne parle d'idiots on parle d'accidents de gens qui ont frôlé la mort ou bien qui y sont restés. J'ai même pas envie de regarder cette vidéo jusqu'au bout, j'aurais trop l'impression de me repaître du malheur des gens. 👎👎👎👎

Jesus Christ, the skipper of Kon Tiki and the one sailing sideways to the surf...

6:53 Dude in Speedo was the scariest scene!

Спасибо за материал!!! Неужели такие капитаны бывают???

Piloting a sailboat is not a remote control on a city lake and the best captains are aware of the unexpected risks when they often have few hours of rest, not assessing risk situations in advance can quickly be synonymous of shipwreck…

Never buy a former charter boat. LOL

Would be better without the overly dramatic music.

What happened to push poles and taking it slow?

Sailing is a learned skill.....NOBODY starts out at the top...(and $hit happens)

This should be renamed the BOATING CRINGE COMPILATION !

Astonishing…

Does someone want to tell me what was wrong with the Green Leaf yacht? He came into reversed into a very tight berth. With the exception of some difficulty with the fenders it looked ok.

On the day I was selling my 40 ' Catalina (Sausalito, Ca), the wind was blowing over 50 knots..The salesman, the new buyer and his surveyor were to accompany me on the sail demo.....Once sailing the new buyer and the surveyor disappeared below and were freaking out..The salesman was in the cockpit with me but, he also was freaking out ----and no help....The large ferry boat that shuttled people between San Francisco and Sausalito was grounded in the City and not operating, because of those strong winds....With my main reefed ( into the mast) and my jib at 70%, I was more on a broad reach..The wind was too strong and blew my jib out..I came about and did get some filtered air that allowed me to get into the Harbor for a scheduled survey..After I secured the torn jib, We raised the boat onto the dock and checked the bottom (surveyed).. Later, I put the boat back into the water and was to bring it back to the main harbor..I called the Harbor Master and requested berthing..I was told that it was impossible to get in----- because of the wind..I told him that it was my ONLY OPTION I was given a weak---- "OK" to come in and take the Ferry's berth.The Ferry's berth was huge, thank goodness..At least 10 people came to our rescue when we berthed, helping with ropes and fenders.....I secured the boat and put all the protective canvas back on the boat..The surveyor asked me to restart the engine.....At that point the batteries quit...The sale of the boat did go through ( I replaced the batteries)..That was one tough day..We were lucky to have gotten back before the batteries died..Had the batteries died after the jib blew out, I would have been up a creek..With out power, the anchor would be compromised and with a blown out jib---- WHO KNOWS???..Sailing is quite an experience..I have been out of it for a while..I am presently looking for another sailboat..I am in the 25' to 29' range..At 80, it seems as though a smaller boat is more practical....

Боль это больно смотреть

The one at 6:43 is something else.

Hold my beer !

In Grecce is like hell just kaos

Oohh so sad.

The guy in the sailboat@ 5 minutes is classic 🤦‍♂️

what ships are these from 0:38 - 0:48? they are so majestic, can someone tell me?

All the gear no idea always happens in the sail boat world. When I'm watching idiots come into anchor etc and they constantly screw it up I wonder how they managed to sail the boat in the first place its terrifying. It is better when your alone well away from idiots.

Dying to know what was happening during the bumper boat part at 3:23!!!

Wygląda jakby jacht KONTIKI - robił to specjalne.

I just had a docking incident the other day. It went a little like this: So I spent the night out on the bay and was coming in to dock in the early AM. My deck hand has a push pole and was to catch the dock as we coasted in at under a knot. As we glided into the slip she went to grab the dock but fell backwards. In doing so she pushed us towards the leeward dock and i had a good idea that she was not suitable as a deck hand. I immediately powered into reverse as we were getting dangerously close to the adjacent vessel. We went back out into the Saginaw river and got a straight line back into the slip. This time I came forward and grabbed a piling, then jumped onto the dock and pulled the boat into its desired position. From there she threw me dock lines and I secured my boat without firther incident. Embarrassing... Yes. Also a learning experience. Competent crew is invaluable!

At minute 6: he's actually a boat parking artist

1. Quite a few are NOT sail boats 2. The one that breaks the mast, is not the "captains" fault as theese things happen.

Everyone docking way too fast..slow is pro.

Good vid - AWFUL soundtrack

music is very annoying 🤕🤕

Wtf is with Kon Tiki? That boat sails all over.

2.20 some wind

Title is misleading. Losing your mooring in a storm and beaching, mast collapse, losing your rudder, can happen to anybody. Maybe two events were poor seamanship.

Whoever is helming the Kon Tiki clearly has no idea how to handle a boat in general! How have they been put in charge of such a large yacht?? On the other hand, Greenleaf nailed it! Really that spot was too tight, but they brought it in with no damage done!

Veel ongelukken zijn te voorkomen, altijd allert blijven en vooruitkijken .beter te voorzichtig dan roekeloos.

Can somebody tell me what type of sailboats are crashing at 0:40 please?

The music is very annoying. The the original audio from each video would be a way better choice or even no audio rather than that noise.

3:50 the name of the boat is kon-tiki xD

Gonna need a bigger crane!

The last one is a person not knowing how to use a crane.

Don’t moor anywhere near charter boats.

What was the story @ 00:43, are they Americas cup yachts? Looked extremely dangerous!

Never fly a genoa when a jib does the job...

Green leaf was too big to moor in that space, the crew on Kon Tiki didn’t seem to have a clue, how many other boats did they hit?

Greenleaf is like: Fuck you of course it fits. Hold my beer.

Poor show, just a whole bunch of clips taken from other channels and really poor quality at that. Begs the question - Why? Why bother? Why post? Why, why why? Go and do something else please and make room for some content that engages the brain

4:12 the cameramen is jesus

My son is wondering what the music in the video is

Idiots on sailboats ??? inappropriate to call them so

Es gibt viel zu lernen.....

I parked next to the guy who had his anchor taken by Kon Tiki, the next day (it was ERMONI Greece). I couldn't work out how he'd managed to put a huge hole in the mid-ships. He was still upset about it.

Had to mute this. Wish this craze for overlaying "music" on every video would end :(

This was hard to watch 🤦‍♂️

Nicely selected compilation. The only proven "idiot", however, is the one who named the video.

@4:20 Captain -: Make ready for ramming speed 1st Mate-: Who are we ramming ?? Captain -: EVERYONE !!!

NEVER EVER -----Get sideways to a wave!!!

Not all of them are idiots, but some are for sure!

Matatan 🤔 Ribirin HS

seems u better buy a boat brandnew XD

Music a bit over dramatic….

Not only click bait, but failed click bait.

3:33 how on this earth is it even possible to fail so badly?

⛵ It looks like a very stable yacht🥰 and the owner nearby could not "dismount"🏇😉 ; Curiously, he specifically decided to test her stability in severe weather and close to the coast? 💲 What model of yacht; probably fast? Very beautiful lines. 7:49 👍Original film frame😉

how can i collect all this view? is there an algorithm?

Horror stories.

Alcuni equipaggi si sono dimostrati inesperti e superficiali, ma ricordiamoci sempre che è facile criticare stando in banchina

O yes, the sea do not forgive stupidity or laziness! !!

Roman - vessels ( you call them sail boats- the world calls them yachts.) don't crash - they founder. Just a thing

min 0:39 hurts. it really hurts. OK, and min 03:16 as well.

The person who posted this is simply after maximum views. They are obviously neither a sailor nor very knowledgeable about sailing. EVERY person who has sailed a sailboat has had "incidents". Sometimes they are through totally unexpected events, sometimes through a failure to account for just one of a hundred variables involved in sailing. Yes many accidents happen because of making silly mistakes, but you don't have to be an "idiot" to do that.

All these yachties have one thing in common, they all were trained by the RYA!

the Kontiki crew was ex- Royal Nay English of course.......

Kon Tiki was psychotic!

Music is annoying

When I see bareboat charters I sail the other way. Its like armature hour at the smash up derby.

Looks like alot of charter boats which is why nobody seems to care much.....they don't own them. They may have even been professional captains with the company. Its very difficult to moor a boat over there.

in the trimaran was English sniper ...... I now him personally ,

Kon Tiki. Rammed every yacht available. I would have left for some other Greek island and not stayed. Too many angry charterers for gin.

What's with the sound track from hell ?

Agree with some of your commenters. You should get rid of the snarky title "idiots on sailboats." It's puerile, demeaning and misleading. Most of the situations you showed are tragedies and accidents which could happen to the most experienced sailor. Try to be mature about this.

Music is dumb.. its not an action movie

5:57 it's ok. He has skill, what problem?

This is NOT funny and it is not a good trait to laugh at people who are in trouble.

Florida had something to do with this.

Nonthing new here all the same footage

They have plenty of money, buy a ship, consider their knowledge and skill depend on their money and soon realise it is not so

Music ruined video

Some,,like the kon tiki yacht, well deserved, prison otherrs are jusf disgraced, NOT idiots
