Most of the time I was sailing the southern ocean in my Chatham 33', steel, cutter it was cold and overcast, and of course, the wind and seas so it was nice to have a pilothouse to keep me out of the weather and a bullet proof windvane (Sailomat) for steering. It allowed me to spend very little time on deck. I also used mostly just a poled out staysail or if the wind let up a little, I'd unfurled some jib. It was an awesome sailing challenge especially since I was singlehanded and had no long range communication equipment. I didn't see any other boats during the passage from Saldana, S. Africa to Tonga until I was north of New Zealand.
Thanks, nice to hear Sailomat is bulletproof, I got a year ago 1975 Schelinkryssare with Sailomat 601, learning to use it, can you perhaps recommend some books or videos of Sailomat 601, thank you Esko, Finland, sy Evelina
This is good, thank you for posting! Still doesn't top Christian William's crossing video. No matter, this is a great offering for the rest of us who live this vicariously!

Tremendous Passage my friend! Congrats for that!! I have two questions: 1. Sailboat? and the Second What are you using the Spy Pole for and how do you determine the side of the boat? thanks!!
How adjusted with the tiny-boat to mad waves of the ocean by the Brave Captain and camera man l feel tense and my body responses with the motions of the boat.Thanks....
I love sailing, but if I was out there, within twenty minutes I'd bitterly regret the decision, and despise every second of the Southern Ocean experience.
What is the benefit of a partly furled jib being set rather than a reefed mainsail? I would have thought that the main would have reduced roll and kept the canter of force lower and closer to the center of the boat and reduce the chance of pitch poling. Of course you know your stuff, this is not a criticism, I am just posing the question in order to learn. Thanks
Vito Dumas, an Argentine single-handed sailor, on 27 June 1942, , he set out on a single-handed circumnavigation of the Southern Ocean. He left Buenos Aires in June, sailing LEHG II, a 31-foot ketch. There are other famous sailors who sailed in the roaring forties in small boats... Anyway who said that this boat is a 30 footer? There is no reference in the video. Probably is a 35.
Nice, no crazy music, just the sound of the wind and water, as it should be.
All Due Respect Sir,, Thanks for the Awesome Natural Video without any music,, just the sounds of the ocean and the boat..!!
Thumbs up for leaving live sound of the sea & wind : this adds dramatically to the video
Respect! Absolute stunning!
Thanks for the raw footage , no stupid music, just the wind and the waves .(And what waves they where)

I love this! The sea is just crazy! Absolutely amazing , love the natural sound too!
Brilliantly done guys and no silly music ❤️🇬🇧
Tiny boat. Brave sailor. Great camera angles.
A very tiny boat, I'd say. How big is it?
You have my respect! Great video too.
Great video thanks for not putting in any terrible "sailing" music. Just wind and water!!!
Fantastic, pouring along, and just with the jib poled out. Huge seas coming up from astern. I couldn't look back.
I bow down before your awesomeness.
Now that my friend , is real sailing 👍
No, he is motoring. 🇦🇺
Not a stich of canvas up case you had not noticed
Nice to see.Thank you. Take care where ever you are!! 😀👋
Toate bune in drumurile tale Om bun ! Pace si dragoste
mindblowing sir
great
You are crazy lol going with that tiny boat in the southern ocean. And looking also chilled
Amazing you are very brave sir. Where some people scared to enter in silent sea.
nothing better than a bit of surfing in a well found yacht , now matter what size , well done.
Wow. Serious water there. Great sailing, boys.
Braver than I, my friends, braver than I.
this video was amazing!!
Bravo ! No crazy music just sea...!!!
Holy crap - that is awesome..
Not your average Sunday day sail 👍👍👍
Great Video,,and all natural with no crazy music
Marius sunteti fenominali! Căutam de mult timp români de ai noștri curajoși pe mare!❤🇷🇴
Acha
This is great video! You sir have brass balls!
Scary surf. Bravo. 👍
This is good, thank you for posting! Still doesn't top Christian William's crossing video. No matter, this is a great offering for the rest of us who live this vicariously!
Well said.
Not even the same catagory
Comparisons are odious...
Wao 😍, it's amazing.
agree with Gus, no music ! just beautiful sailing !
love it, what a ride
Interesting sail setup!
That's what I call a cruise! None of those big floating hotels for me.
I did a small expedition cruise to Antarctica, 300' ship, 82 passengers. That was great.
I went to Antarctica on a 300 foot ship, with 82 passengers and 20 member crew. Can't imagine sailing the 40s. Wow.
You are really brave 👏👏
A Lovely Time On Our Amazing Planet 🙏
awesome!
Buen vídeo! Se agradece también que no lo hayas estropeado con musiquitas. Gracias por compartir.
Like his hollow laugh at start !
I have a very similar hard dodger in mind for my my high latitude preparations!

"I think we are going to need a bigger boat"
Ha..ha..
No you don't
Salute!
Cool stuff !!!!!
amazing
Got bloody sick just watching
The storms are no fun! Thanks.
Bravo!!!!
very exciting
That is one hell of a wet heavy boat. Quire mild conditions. The worst way to do this, but still a good experience.
Beautiful day
Hats off Captain
That looks like fun
Thats sailing!!
But the sails are all furled.
super ideea să lăsați sunetul oceanului!👍
Great..not easy to film in such conditions...nice remember to me...50 knots I did!!
Wow.
Great sailor
Thank you.
Tremendous Passage my friend! Congrats for that!! I have two questions: 1. Sailboat? and the Second What are you using the Spy Pole for and how do you determine the side of the boat? thanks!!
how big is your boat? what model?
My boat is a 35 feet, handmade, I built it
How adjusted with the tiny-boat to mad waves of the ocean by the Brave Captain and camera man l feel tense and my body responses with the motions of the boat.Thanks....
Very good
i did the same thing in an even smaller boat ... but it was a dream ... well actually, a nightmare
A boat 1/2 as long as another (of same construction) is 3x stronger. Small well constructed boats
I love sailing, but if I was out there, within twenty minutes I'd bitterly regret the decision, and despise every second of the Southern Ocean experience.
What is the length and beam of that boat?!
Barca mica si rea! :)
Sure beats a Sunday Race on Long Island Sound, Just miss all those passages in shit weather to Bermuda.
souvenir souvenir but is not the same every days
What? No tether on the winch handle. What you gonna do if you drop it in the water?!
Quite the ride, still out there?
No man, we have finished successfully
I wonder what is the water temperature.
Excelent. Trailing warps or drogues at 0:36?
Se pare ca a fost o traversare buna. In ce perioada / unde / cu ce vieza medie/la rafala a vantului?
Traversarea a avut loc in anul 2014. Am plecat din Auckland in decembrie 28 si am ajuns in 11 februarie in Puerto Montt. Viteza medie 10-12 noduri.
Ditto, what is the size, make and model of your boat?
Rob Cinq-Mars I second that
It's a 30-footer he built himself. I don't know who designed it. Source: www.yachtmollymawk.com/2010/10/romanian-phoenix/
The size is 33 feet, it's a handmade model. I made it myself
+marius albu Bravo very good.man!
@@panzelesus on what plans did you built this boat ?? who is the designer ??
How fast was she going on surf and bare poles/Storm jib ? Thanks.
Between 10-12 knots
@@panzelesus What kind of boat was this again?
doing a crossing like that and still have the anchor on the roller....crazy......stow it as its only asking for trouble.....
where's a jib sail for stability? Oh I see, , I would have had that up from the start!
Is not better use in this condicions the stay sail?
How do I get a berth for the next adventure? So well done, both sailing and filming.
Buy a boat and plan your own. Other people just get in the way, singlenhand ot
Can a catamaran withstand those condition as good as a monohull does?
I feel sick just watching that. Imagine going below and fixing a stinking diesel engine in that. Stay up top and watch the horizon friend.
You nearly capsized
How the hell do you sleep in conditions like that?
Pretty sure you just ride it out, sleep when it's over.
...you sleep just when you are tired ....😬😇
Who could sleep when you are having that much fun?
Like a baby
Soundly.
Passage from where to where?
What is the benefit of a partly furled jib being set rather than a reefed mainsail?

How many meters has your boat?
Great, what's the boat ?
What is the boat type and size? She is aluminium?
Gritty plus no damn elevator music.
My word, that is a lonely place.
Would be nice to know wind and boat speed.
small boat, huge balls
What boat ?
Dimensions of this boat?
33 feet
7.5 feet wide ?
Lol I thought u were gonna broach so many times during this vid
Não tem palavras que descrevam a beleza de uma tempestade em alto mar !..
wow, that boat can't be 30 feet!
Paul Orovan right ain't no way in hell I'd be out there on that tiny thing!
