super cool and atmospheric, amazing how little action you can get away with

Question to Finns: do you ever reef? No we don’t eat beef 🥩

Reduce your sails before getting into the storm!

Hoho I'm just interesting what is the model of the boat ,I want the same

I think anyone sailing performance boats will experience something like this at some point with a sudden wind gust blowing your boat flat on the water rendering all your steering inputs useless. The crew is not getting into panic mode at all = great. I have had that happening a few years back to us and some crew members simply couldn’t take it and were kind of stiffening up. Better get them downstairs then to keep everyone safe. Nice boat+experienced crew = ultimately safe

Great one, now I know why smooth seas never made skillful sailors 🤩

Whenever I go racing I always break something.

are you finnish

Only the people of the north can do it, in the Mediterranean with south people, they would all have died, boat sunk, 10 helicopters and 4 coast guard patrols looking for them. Instead these men of the sea go straight on their way and come out winners.

Safety jaquet plz

That gale came in like a freight train!

Looked like a micro burst hit you.

I don’t know about sailing much but question. These wind conditions seem to furious for the main sail no ? Is this a normal thing to keep the sail up in this condition or would most people take down the sail

When I hear people speaking finnish I lowkey expect to hear 'ei sa peittä' atleast once in a while

Blue tee shirt guy is the type who would freeze if driving into towards a tree at 10 mph from 200 ft. No steering away.. just wide eyed frozen hands

in 4 minutes, everything changes. Wow!!!!

Thank you for sharing!! 🤘🏼

Est ben moi je vous tire mon chapeau les gars ! D'avoir gérée un truc pareil ! 😮 est que tout le monde va bien cest bien sur le plus important, merci à vous pour vôtres vidéo de dingues, prenez soins de vous amicalement Philippe. ❤

No vests for all involved is just madness. Everything else is super scary!

Thanks for sharing it’s a great reminder that things can change in seconds and hesitation can have devastating consequences.

as always, because it was a race, the testosterone is rampant, should have reefed sails well in advance, it's not as if you couldn't see it coming. Just lucky you were in a sturdy boat, the SS40's are very forgiving!

Great video. It really gives a feel for heavy weather. I couldn't help but think, "close the hatch to the main cabin". But I guess they made it

We had similar conditions between Bornholm (DK) and Darlowo (PL). Everything took maybe 4-5 minutes, but we managed to reef the sails before it came.

It's truly terrifying how quickly the weather can change. You offshore racers have got balls of titanium - NO WAY could I do what you guys do!

Thanks for sharing!

How was that man sail NOT reefed as soon as they saw that incoming weather? Look at that obscene heel?

First Time I saw that video I thought by myself " Hey Guys, you got to hurry up, please" I remember such an atmosphere from many times on see.

Imagine being a pirate on mushrooms in the late 1400’s and this type of storm is on to you 😂

Guys, you are lucky. I know it is a race, but why did you think it is OK to sail into it without reefing your sails? Anyway, glad you shared it with other people. People need to be aware how little time you sometimes have to react. When you see something like this on the horizon the time to react is now. I am also glad you manage to take down your spinnaker in time. If you have waited just couple minutes more that would be probably too late.

Awesome!!!

It happened fast and they fix the casualties quickly. Sailing ain't easy.

Fastnet 1979 was much more dangerous and with many more victims. This is frivolous playing with life

4:50 made me very, very nervous! But it also made me realise that a sailboat can handle a lot more than you might think. I also try to learn from this. Would it have been better to steer into the wind in a situation like this?

Exhilarating & scary AF. Terrific footage 👍🏼👍🏼

Of course, "winners are not judged." However, while paying tribute to the team for their courage when they decided to post this video and perfectly understood the inevitability of harsh criticism, nevertheless: such carelessness (expressed, among other things, in the absence of life jackets from the crew, while a storm was clearly approaching, but there was time to prepare) could end in disaster; I was surprised why the yacht did not capsize; and all because the captain was too careless (or overconfident - wasn't he a former military man?), - he could have had lives wasted on his conscience. Конечно, "победителей не судят". Однако, отдавая должное команде за ее смелость, когда они решили выложить это видео и отлично понимали неизбежность суровой критики, - тем не менее: такая беспечность (выражающаяся в т.ч. в отсутствии спасательных жилетом у команды, в то время как явно приближался шторм, - но время для подготовки было) могла закончиться катастрофой; удивлен, почему яхта не перевернулась; и все потому, что капитан был слишком беспечен (или самоуверен - не бывший ли военный?), - на его совести могли быть напрасно загубленные жизни.

I like how they took their sweet time to lower the sails even though they could see the storm being close 😅

😮 Imagine i was in this situation alone.It’s terrifying.⛵️

Perkele

Poor main sail...

That escalated quickly

What a gorgeous day for sailing. Not a joke. Up until the squall hits, looks like flat waters, full sails, and the boat zooming at top speed. Had you managed to shorten the sails faster, I bet you'd have been smiling ear to ear through the whole thing.

I reckon screaming tee-shirt man may choose to wear a rain jacket next time, although who am I to question his sense of rebellion?

Your other challenge would have been to send crew to the bow for the drop. Likely would have submarined your boat up to the mast and washed your crew off the boat. Not much room for error in those conditions

The boom in the water gave me seriously sweaty palms.

getting hit by something like that sure feels much more comfortable when windsurfing... you can just go for a short swim and keep both hands on your board :D

Lucky escape. Could have easily had dire results.

What a SHOW thank you

Glad I am on land, and I will stay on land.

Turn the nose of the boat more to the wind .Danger could be avoided 😊.

Excellent work, one of these video which makes you fill up the car and go on the trip to use the car for what it has been made 💪🏻
