This is amazing! Glad they made it safely to their destination. Just goes to show that Mother Nature can be scary. Peace to these guys for their bravery and ambition😎🫡🎉
No mention of a drogue or warp to stabilise the craft. What about ballast, does the design accommodate floodable ballast chambers to let the vessel sit lower in the water and make it less tippy? How much fresh water, fuel and food stocks can that vessel hold? Can I assume there was a support vessel?
these boats are designed to self up again.. you can be thrown on your back from the waves and the boat will come upright again. they have a water maker ( reverse osmosis) and enough dry food. no fuel because no motor. only battery and solar. no suport vessel.. they wouldnt ride out the storm with a support vessel nearby..
These guys are incredible... and maybe have also a good doses of what should we call it? Daredevildom? Craziness? The odds of them making it in one piece, boat and body, must be in the single digits! But then again, maybe because it was such a dingy sized raft, and probably very well built and water tight, even the monster storm could be ridden out. Either way, I wonder if they'd do it again? Knowing how it all goes? I'd love to hear what they think of that.... oh, and how much money did you guys raise? And what did you do with it? Care to share! Thanks for the short video! And kudos for surviving this! Bravo!
what a journey!! Impressive trip that these guys made, it's good that they were able to reach their destination safely, safe and sound, hooray for them, not everyone is capable of doing something like that, TRUE SAILORS 😃😃
They are in a reliable watercraft. Think about those boat people who crossed from Vietnam to wherever they could after the war on an unreliable embarcation battled by the storms, pirates, hunger etc…
This is why I dont buy the whole trans Atlantic slave trade story. The slavery happened, but the people were already here. No way a wooden boat would survive this trip, full of people and enough food for a trip across the Atlantic. These ships had no engine, so I'm sure it took at least.3:times longer. This and talks I've had with elders lets me know.
These guys were in a really small boat. The ships used to transport slaves were (mostly) rated to carry up to 1,000 men plus supplies When using a ship with sails, it would be important to leave the right time of year to sail with the “trade winds”. In the early spring they could sail easier from the west to east, and catch the opposing winds on departure that blow from east to west

How does this not have a comment
How do you not have a brain 😅
That is incredible, that the boat survived it. All it could do was just bob like a cork and wait. It was like a capsule of air.
i designed the boat thats why

Those rowing boats right themselves if they capsize. They're basically unsinkable

Lucky to tell the tale boys.
Don't push it any more.
3:09 dude on left look like he never recovered from the shock

crazy! how that
Little boat survived
You say it's nothing you could do. Have you ever heard about a sea anchor?
MAMBO NUMBER 5 🎵🦭🌊
Was the boat "moored" with a drift anchor or drogue in the storm or did it drift strongly?
You guys should have been trained to deploy a sea anchor .
I assume they did, in fact the video indicates so
Brave lads!!
How did that boat not capsize!?
Those crafts do capsize but they automatically right themselves because of their design.
Would be terrifying none the less
Here's the 4th
LOL I can’t believe there’s comments now you’re awesome bro 😂💯
Ah, Devon island 🥱🚀
Imagine if they did this in the Bering sea
Mad lads
this is insane
why this only has 47 comments?
They have really funny looking heads !! 🤣 I think they were likely dropped on their heads when they were just little grasshoppers
Brilliant lads. 😅😅
There’s legit barley any comments lol, at least there’s no bots (don’t wanna jinx it aha)
Maybe that’s because of the rubbish commentary….near death experience….BS!
It appears that came through unscathed and so did the boat.
I’m a rowbot
THE GOD is not easy to FEEL or HANDLE

They ate dark meat
Yeah you’re stupid

The water was not that rough as of todays water climate changes
Goodness that's the stupidest thing I've read today. Read some more maritime history
