Shoutout to Anthony Edward's! What a post season he's having.

95% of the world's boats/ships are called she. Oooff. 😬😬

Your ignorance is showing.

Fun fact = the reason most all boats/ships are named female names is because of maritime law ​@williamd1891

Jara, you sound like your mother drank all the beer in the village while she was pregnant with you

What, oh no, please don’t neuter my language! It’s an honour, compliment and a recognition of the female to call a ship “her”. Anyway, what else would you call a ship, “he?”

Maybe the antifoul paint

It comes in different colors.

Good to have a dark bottom paint to keep the growth down. Lighter colours have much more growth on bottompaint. Critters like light and even light colours.

@@ottifantiwaalkes9289 : I guess they are on a diet. Always choose the lite food 😂😂

Mulitihulls don't use ballast.

Ballast in a multihull? No multihull in the thousands of years multihulls have been sailing has ever been ballasted. Ridiculous comment. Hairbrained

@@petermiller114. One of the main factors of multi’s is light weight. Ballast is for mono hulls.

@@fredread9216 Did you read my comment? " No multihull in the thousands of years they have been sailing has ever used ballast." I've built 2 trimarans and a catamaran. I understand how they work.

@@petermiller114 sorry Peter, looks like this/my comment was not meant for you.

60 feet huh? 😂😂😂😂😂

They did have a SSB. They don't transmit very well with the antenna under water!

VHF is line of sight. As long as the receiving antenna 'sees' the transmitting antenna, reception can be at great distances. I've received clear signals transmitted 40 nm distant. I've been received at over 100 nm. Generally, the higher up the antenna, the greater the distance.

If you're interested, look up attenuation or how atmospheric conditions can affect reception. I once heard very clearly a transmission from a ship in the Gulf of Alaska although I was offshore the central California coast. 'atmospherics' is the only possible answer.

​@@smacksmanDidja notice that Glenny didn't provide station identification? His fear was being fined for transmitting without a licence. I wonder if having provided ID could have brought rescue much sooner. In the 1980s, a small handful of commercial fishing boats from the U.S. used the frequency of an AM radio station in Japan to talk to each other. None had ham licences. As long as that station continued to broadcast, those vessels could transmit in the clear. A couple of years later I heard that at least two vessels were caught when the AM station changed freq.

I'll second you, from Australia.

I was often in waioru sticking my transistor out the hatch. Here's a virtual truckie wave 🫱

👋 back at ya … yea all us at halls transport in the deep south appreciated theses tales .

With makeshift wings, flying would be faster.

The 45 feet of mast and sails under the boat would have made an excellent daggerboard 🙄. (Sarcasm)

@@petermiller114 Yes and they had snorkels and tools to cut it off and possibly retrieve as well. Maybe they sat on their hands a little relying on their epirb. Maybe being waist deep in a capsized boat is a struggle enough. Plenty of thoughts and ideas on imrovements can come from this. Ive allready seen underside hatches on some trimarans. Would a Farrier type trimaran with folding amas work. Could they fold in an ama and right the boat. Since its not a folding ama, could they have sawed one off. And used ropes to right it.

@@jonymanay You are obviously not a sailor. There are no ropes on a sailing vessel, there are lines. Cutting off a 45 foot mast filled with water and retrieving it is not practical. Sawing off one of the floats is not practical. Why demolish the boat that is keeping you alive?

On an upright sailboat -- with an intact rudder and nice hull shape -- you can still steer the boat and thus sail slowly toward a destination with a jury-rig. With an up-side-down boat you would have very high water resistance and thus a very-very slow speed through the water. With this slow speed and the wave action normally encountered at sea, it's unlikely a jury-rigged rudder would be able to steer the boat -- the waves would overwhelm any rudder input. A jury-rigged sail would thus only be able to make the boat move a little in the downwind direction. Thus, you would only want a sail if you thought the downwind direction was better than the direction of the current. It doesn't appear they knew which way they were drifting anyway, so there would be reason to want to change their direction to a different unknown direction.

Then a cruise ship got hit with one aswell.

There have been many recorded by the tusarmi warning bouys .

I think you have science confused with something else. Science creates theories from observations that are held to be true unless evidence disproves it. Science is the opposite of blind trust - scientific theories have been continually proven wrong, leading to better theories that can explain the discrepancies. Also, scientists are people and aren't infallible. Even a genius like Einstein, who was right about so many things, was wrong about quantum entanglement.

Ahh yes the "science" . Now where have i heard that before??

The USN Ramapo, an oiler, encountered a rogue during or shortly after WWII. Investigation of eyewitness testimony determined the wave to be 120'. This in Force 4 seastate.

Really? In what way has a bistable boat become less likely to turtle in the right conditions?

I would trust a trimaran but wouldn't be caught on a catamaran..

@@markleyg Again. Yes really. Capsize is VERY rare in MODERN cruising cats and tri’s. Extreme racing multi’s are designed on the edge of the safety envelope. This is just a statistical fact.

@fredread9216 I would argue that capsize are rare do to advanced weather prediction. You have failed to provide any engineering advancements that prevent capsize. I look forward to you educating me.

@@markleyg that's exactly it.. weather technology and the ability to have more knowledge of sailing before even going anywhere is what has changed. The designs are the same

Multihulls have the potential to capsize. Monohull sailboats, with tons of ballast have the potential to sink. Pick your poison. All sailors know there is some risk. I think we want to live fully, and not die slowly of boredom.

You start dying the day your born, rather than trying to make it as many boring years as possible some of us decided along time ago to not worry about the length of your life but instead put as much life as possible into the years that you live.

The ability to outrun a storm is a plus

Check out all their content. There are hours of amazing storytelling, especially the accounts of shipwrecks and survival early in the area's recorded history (New Zealand/Australia, etc). Amazing content.....

They may flip but wont sink. You flip your mono and say hello to the bottom.

For a second I thought you meant furry cats and I looked around, wondering why I am not rich 😂😂.

Do you folk prefer steel, full keeled 65 footers? After sailing out of Eureka California with the miserable Humboldt Bar you have to get in and out of, my 26 foot fiberglass sloop with a bolt on fin keel often felt like a toy when waves were in the 10 foot range and fairly close together. Good boat but too short and way too fragile for serious weather. New Zealand seems like a area you would want seriously tough vessels.

So any boat then? What this story shows is that a multihull still will float. And you have a good chance of surviving with so much gear onboard. A keeled boat is likely to sink if you have water Ingres, leaving you exposed and less resources.

I have a friend with a catamaran and he swears by them because they generally won't sink if they have a lighter than water core to the fibreglass although I would think that some of the heavier non-performance catamarans with big engines may well sink and indeed there is a KZfaq channel about restoring a Leopard 50 which was only a few months old which totally sank in the US although in shallow water.

Most keels are bolted on these days.

The shipwreck tales. There will be a new narrator from the next video

@@epigwaitthistory Both narrators are fantastic.

The other guys great. Its like sitting on my grandads lap when i were young getting war stories

That's the first thing that came to my mind too😮. I said "please GOD 🙏save them from any harm 🙏 😢. Then as the video started. I realised it's an old event and I become more inspired by the story. And what a mixed emotion story that ended up well. Enjoyed watching 👀 and thank you for sharing this awesome story 👌👍🥰💯🙏

Same color hulls. :)

Bwhahahaha!

…so it didn’t sink taking him with it

They also hold most of the offshore race records .. and race and cruise the worlds oceans. Latest a carbon fiber racer lost one Amma, ripped off the port side. Sailed all the way back to port. Why didn't they deploy multiple drouge lines. esierbto recover than a sea anchor. Composit cored multies are usually boyant even flooded eitherway up.

Flipping a multihull is safer than a keel breaking of a mono. A mono will sink and you will be exposed with few resources. A multihull will float providing you with shelter and resources., also a big object for search and rescue to see

@@AORD72 Just make sure the underside has high Vis markings ... even a large multi or any other with a white or black underside in a storm foam lashed sea can be hard to spot .. even in day light. Waterproof strobe beacons help ...but if you're a long way out you better be prepared for a long wait .. and stay close to the boat .. even in a life raft. There are several quality Composite multihull boats that have been recovered after months or even a year after being flooded out...dismasted or inverted they've been recovered towed back and rebuilt. Race, explorer cruising and working mutihulls are usually built with crash boxes and watertight bulkheads anyway because of construction rules or just their higher speeds mean it's needed. If you hit a floating object at 12-25 or possibly 30+knots you are going to need all those and built in permanent buoyancy. I've never really figured out why more explorers aren't kitted with emergency/ salvage floatation bags built in.

I love it every time someone finds this channel. It should easily have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and by this time next year I reckon it will....

I guess, he missed that boat 😉
