As you said in the end the weakest link on board is the fear and anxiety the people bring with them... very wise saying.

Great video. I know these boats, having sailed a Lagoon 420 for thousands of offshore miles. The boat handled those conditions fine. BUT.....you have always got to be alert. The danger is of course a pitch pole but he never looked close to that. If the boat rounds up a wave can capsize you and in a cat there is no coming back from that like in a monohull. Hence my personal preference for sustained offshore sailing is a monohull. A bridle/drogue off the stern should be part of the heavy air kit to slow you downwind so the wave does not pick you up. But he was never close to that. "Those who wait for the wind to ease before heading offshore should never put to sea".

@Captain Downunder A 52ft 30 ton cat will have to have a tsunami behind it to capsize and tsunamis only hit coasts. I don't think you are right on this one. Show me ONE catamaran of that size that has ever capsized without a total fuckup by the crew (like not easing sheets, reefing, changing course and/or disengaging the autopilot). The largest cruising catamaran that capsized I know was an Atlantic 57 in 2010 (autopilot engaged and it was a wind-induced, not wave-induced, capsizing) and that was half the weight of this Lagoon. Are you sure you want to end up turtling in a monohull since it seems you want to take it easy on proactive measures when facing a squall? Because that's what'll happen.

Great video - good to see actual TWS and AWS readings to back up your headline. The vid made me even more sure that a Lagoon is a great boat for heavy weather and ocean sailing. Nothing was tied down or secured in the cabin from mugs on the table to cardboard boxes on the shelf and you were able to cook a meal that night. Try that in a monohull. I crossed the Atlantic in a Lagoon 410 in pretty horrible weather out of season (30 out of 37 nights at from France had thundersqualls and lightning, plus a few nights with AWS of 40+ and one with 50+). The boat looked after us superbly and of course did not roll as we ran. Loved the vid - enjoy. Our next transat will alas be in a monohull which will be safe I'm sure but not nearly as comfortable.

I sailed in a storm with similar wind speeds and boat speeds, also in a catamaran, while crossing the Atlantic. And yes, during the storm we had life jackets on! Normally, we would only wear them during nightwatch when you're on the boat deck alone. But during the storm we wore them all the time, even in the salon, because things can start to go wrong very quickly! Sailing life jackets are very low profile because they inflate with a CO2 cartridge when you hit the water. So they're not hard to wear. It's careless to not wear them in those conditions.

The first was to Nijkerk, near Utrecht, from were my forbears hail from (1591). In the South of the Netherlands the spoken Dutch was very the same to Afrikaans. In Groeningen it was like German. As you know in 1994 ZA got a total new Government. And the new Government's language policy change. As a Afrikander I feel as a outsider. That was also what Pres. Mbheki (1999-2005) said: "Afrikaners is colonialist of a special kind,. They did not left when the colonial power went away..." In my past, Holland was not seen a friendly country and sporting the Backs(&Communist) to get the Whites out. Dit was bezonders lekker om een TAAL te hoor bijna zoals mijn eigen Moeder taal. Voor Nederland om een verbintenis met die Afrikanders te hebbe. Dat kan maklik als rasisties gezien word door die NIe-Blanke bevolking van ZA. 1 Jan. 2000 AD was ik in die Kerk in Nijkerk. Dat zal ik altijd onthoue.

I was thinking the same. Most cat capsizes are due to digging in the bow and pitch polling over, opposed to going over sideways. Its the biggest thing I like about the performance cats over typical condo cats is how much more reserve buoyancy they have further out and sharper bows that can cut waves instead of plowing into them and even taking water over the top pulling them down. I think they were turning onto a broad reach though so they can surf the waves more instead of them all just passing under the boat. Cool footage though all around, finding more details about cats in heavy weather is harder to find than mono stuff.

And season the tuna very simple Salt and pepper maybe if you like garlic alittle bit of garlic powder but regardless the balsamic Reduction will be amazing and after you plate it alittle olive oil or whatever you have !! I always enjoy a tuna steak like that with avocado slices and roasted potatoes !! Very simple recipe also everyone have balsamic and olive oil salt pepper and early on in a boat you’ll have a salad mix !! If you have it grill slices of peach’s and plums with some sugar and put that on top of the tuna !!

Using the main and no headsail in those conditions makes life very difficult for the autopilot. The boat will be constantly trying to round up. Using the headsail, partly furled would be far more relaxed, and safer, as it tends to lift the bow rather than driving it down. The 27kt max is almost certainly a GPS glitch. Ours, which is a similar model is showing a 655 kt max.
@CatGreatcircle
5 жыл бұрын
The autopilot was doing a fantastic job, never had the feeling manual steering was needed. I am still not able to judge whether furled jib or reefed main would be a better choice with these models where the mast is way back. The 52S owners manual agrees with you as it states mainsail lowered and jib 30-40% at 45 to 55 knots true downwind. As to the speed we saw it go well over 20 knots several times on a surf, the speed seemed to built up regularly and accurate but it’s not really important as we were not in a race and we know we’re not the fastest cat on the planet. It sails really well though and we feel very comfortable and safe in normal conditions now we know the boat can handle abnormal conditions this well.

A quick risk assessment (New Boat/ Inexperienced crew/ known poor weather / offshore passage etc..) would have had you safely moored up in harbour waiting for a fairer passage. Scenario: What would you have done with a Skipper Overboard?... (Not that at Force 10 there was a life jacket in sight).

That tuna is a bluefin an endangered specie, not a yellowfin,and also protected worldwide, and the one you got is also undersized. There are no yellowfins in the mediterranean sea

It isn’t protected worldwide there are many places you can catch them

Why not. I can check whether I can find the original footage especially for the ones who keep asking for leaving out the background music. It will probably also demonstrate why it makes sense to edit unless you have professional audio equipment
