I was hoping for more instruction on storm sailing techniques. There was only a mention of reefing the main What about drogues or sea anchors or storm sails and how to pick your way through big waves? Nice scenery, though.

congratulations ! this video bring me on this sea 10 years ago and this region is very misterious and fascinating , cape horn is a magic point. Hello from adriatic sea !

fantastic video and music.thank you very much.

I wish this video was way longer love seeing skip and his friends sail

I'm digging it so much, it gives me goosebumps. One day it will be my turn to sail Cape Horn.⚓️ Thanks for sharing 👍

There is no mention of techniques in this video?

Wonderfully shot and narrated. As a fair weather cruising sailor, I'm in awe at what you guys seek out and do. Would like to experience something like this one day. Thank you!

cape horners ... even the words Kap Horn makes me shiver

what the heck. Anticipated technical stuff as what are you doing with the cool looking deck gear?

This is nuts !!!!

Merci pour cet bel vidéo

Did the The north sea race from Hull to Ijmuiden a few times.as crew for my then Landlord.Loved it. First time coming back from ijmuiden we missed judged the weather and flipped the ship over , lucky for us it righted it self again me and the helmsman were washed over board, but we had life lines on .but all was ok in the end. Did the race another 3 times , would love to go sailing again.

I've been in a force 9 - 10 for 3 days and nights and moored in 65 knots of wind. I would consider twice before rounding the horn ! Well done everyone.

This is absolutely fascinating. I am completely amazed and truly intrigued with your drive to push the limits. You have quite the lucky crew. One could only dream of experiencing an adventure such as this. May fair winds and following seas grace your journeys. If you are ever looking for an additional crew member I am more than willing to assist!

I like how they stow the anchor but latter while sailing its there tied down.

Like your ship 👍🖐⛵

What about the announced sailing techniques???

Great video by Richard Langdon... captures a beautiful, forbidding place and an enviable 'assignment' for you guys! How come Skip doesn't have any grey hairs after 24 seasons Down There?

2:35 That grey vessel on the left...can anyone tell her name or what she is? She looks WW2 or early 1950s era. Beautiful classic lines. And what a dream, to sail with Skip Novak!

Hope you enjoy this video can we ame for 100 likes that would be a awesome. :)

What are those spools of line on deck for?

you want real storm,come to the south pacific in around December and April,you would love it!

It's a joy to watch God bless you and safe you thank you for the film

Rather than techniques this is just the sailing 'elite' saying 'i rounded Cape Horn' na naaa! How many times does she say 'Cape Horn'?

Durban South Africa. 29ft steel hull yacht.. 30ft Rouge wave. heave to or run? lets say its daytime and i have enough time to turn or c it comming.

I read a cape horn book with skip novak in it

"Storm sailing techniques"- find some storms and sail in them.

Jeeeez! I want to sail with Skip! Great video.

Дельфины плывут перед кораблями потому, что принимают корабли за китов. Киты обнаруживают косяки рыбы раньше, чем дельфины, у них мощнее гидролокаторы, которые действуют на более длинных расстояниях. Это моя догадка, я не знаю, что думают по этому поводу биологи. Dolphins swim in front of the ships because they take the ships for whales. Whales find shoals of fish earlier than dolphins, they have more powerful sonars, which operate at longer distances. This is my guess, I do not know what biologists think about behavior of the dolphins.

whats the opening music

There is zero talk about storm techniques in this video. It shouldn’t be used to lure tactics and techniques. It should be called, “Pretty footage of people motoring and sailing.”

My friend was on Flyer in 1976 Whitbread! Roger Janes do you know him?

Storm : no need to go that far, Channel or Irish Sea in Jan. can be as challenging. Technique : absolutely none. Cape Horn : a snapshot. Drake Passage : just a name. Specific weather patterns of the region (i.e.. catabatic winds) : absolutely none. Promise fulfilled as of the title : ZERO % FALSE CLAIMS : 200% Will watch another video from the same : NEVER.

Ahh, the joys of fairweather sailing here on Mobile Bay

I have sailed an Optimist in 55kt winds in 4.5 meter swells. not many people have done that. :D

I know photography can be misleading, but I've been out sailing in 30 knots easterly winds here in Port Elizabeth South Africa and the swells (waves) look much bigger than in this video. Like I said, maybe the video doesn't show how rough the sea really is. Maybe you should come practice your techniques here in South Africa along the Wild Coast or the Cape of Storms.

Reef N°3 - Little jib ! And after ?...

I was hoping to learn something from this video (re the Title). It turned out to be some woman's travel log ! and not very interesting at that.

Somewhat underwhelmed.

1:40 before anything happens. 4:00 and they raise a sail. Average and very sailable conditions at Cape Horn.

Why do this?

Just an advert. No technical discussions. I liked it, though. More accurate tag-lines, pls.

Skip Novak takes on dangers so fearsome, he keeps the contact info of his insurer right on the hull of his boat, lest he ever need to make a claim. The likes of you, on the other hand, are lucky if you even leave port.

Is it fair to say; you sail through the Cape, not around it

A Cape Horner is an maritime officer of a commercial sailing ship having rounded Cape Horn. Not many left. They even closed down the club.

I was hoping to learn something but unfortunately all I saw was an extended advertisement for Pantaenius insurance, shame...

Skip v good video you are 100 % right

I will sail around the horn or die trying

Has any sailor circumnavigated along the 60th parallel?

k cemu se pouzivaji ty spulky se zelenymi lany na palube za steznem?

That’s not a storm. Barely a blow. A storm is when the anemometer is pegged and you’ve got a 12’ cross on 50’ swells. Recommended tactic: smoke two joints and then smoke two more. (And run for all you’re worth)

whay is this place so mystic?

Sailing around cape horn doesn't mean flying down there, jaunting around the cape in nice weather and then flying home. Bollocks!

Not 1 technique shared

what was the point of this video? Learned nothing about technique of any kind

Stay in port if theres storm thats the technique

"Storm Sailing Techniques" .... 000 techniques discussed..... (-_-;) (clickbate titile)

"Click Bait" not a single "storm sailing technique" in the entire 6:48 video..................:(

Skip, when R U going to post new videos, of your 77 ft underway? The old videos R boring.

do you know who Skip Novak actually is? He's not bullocks. google the name before spouting non sense.

Fk all on techniques.

why don’t you call it something that it actually is

Wtf

clickbait

The technique was go home by land? You just wasted 7 minutes of my life.

This has nothing to do with sailing at all.

So far nothing about technuques

Such BS

Just clickbait. No sailing until 4:00. Sailing done by 6:00. No tips or techniques demonstrated or discussed.

I have a good sailing technique for storms.... Don't do it. I started to be a keen weather watched after a 1974 experience 100 miles west of Patras, Greece.

Soooo many techniques demonstrated 😒

Totally pointless video

No techniques in the video. Huge disappointment.

OK, I'll skip them.

CLICK-BAIT TITLE.FOR AN UNINSPIIRING UNINFORMATIVE UNFORTUNATE VIDEO!!!!!!!!

Nothing about storming techniques in this video.

Where were the technicians? This was a horrible video without any insight how to properly sail in heavy weather. NOT AS ADVERTISED.

Please stop waxing poetic and give actual technique or tips...there are people who are genuinely looking to learn and reduce the chance of dying.

Less drivel and more technique please, these videos are a great concept poorly executed.
