- Shetland coastguard rescues 2 Norwegian yachtsmen from their sinking sailing boat (yacht) Serenity . We heard the yachtsmen asking for assistance on vhf channel 16 we on our fishing boat Budding Rose spoke to Shetland coastguard and organised the rescue .We arrived on scene as the rescue was taking place as you can see by the video . We tried to save the yacht but it was too full of water and sadly sank . We don’t know what caused the ingress of water as we were never told by the yachtsmen and had no feed back from them after they were rescued .

As a fellow sailor, it's heartbreaking to watch someone's dream die that way. Glad no lives were lost though.
Gregory P yes the main thing boats can be replace
.
wtf takes a yacht to the border sea or north sea?
Thanks for ther comment ..these things happened as long as theirs no loss of life.l once had a fishing boat that sank ...next day it felt like a piece of me had been cut off .. but l quickly forgot about it and replaced the boat.Boats can be replaced but not lives !!
My dad died swimming after his drifting boat. It’s not worth your life. He was 51 and extremely experienced on the water
So sorry to hear that . Life is precious
Big thanks to the rescuers for risking their lives each time and glad to know the 2 sailors were saved.
It must be terrible to watch the scene.
A dream taking end
after this im just getting a travel trailer and going to the grand canyon or something
You know when I was a first responder we were young and took lots of risks. When I look back I think we were stupid. Lots of my work colleagues have gone to early graves too. It takes its toll eventually.
Thank you Shetland Coast Guard, and all the Coast Guards who risk life and limb to save others... It is always sad to see a boat go down; lost dreams for the owners, but they are alive, thanks to the Coast Guard...
Sea and mountain rescue teams. Have so much respect for them. Their team work is second to none.
Sad and sobering to see a yacht sink. I am very glad to know that nobody was hurt but it would be interesting to know what the cause was.
someone asked why didnt we try to save the yacht .we did try to save it. we had a line on it but it broke.l wasnt going endanger my crew with puting someone aboard it!!
You had someone ready to go aboard? I have some lovely bridges for sale
Probably a good call Captain
Hats off to the two captains and crew of the vessels who responded to the mayday call.
It makes it a lot easier for the helicopter crew to spot the yacht in distress when two large vessels are nearby.
Thanks for your comment.If we were all the same life wouldnt be much fun.In the North Sea conditions can change very rapidly maybe they were just caught out.Remember this incident happened in the middle of summer.Right enough you should always check the forecast before sailing ...especially while crossing the North Sea.The main thing as you said their was no loss of life.Boats can be replaced lives cant!!
Yeah. Really Erie is the correct thought for me too.
It's weird to me to be out at sea ! I at now 49yrs, Chicago guy,,, just won't go out in a boat anymore and I really don't know why ? I'm scared shitless of drowning in a boat. Or even going out on ice now !?!?
But what a fascinating video. Hats off to the boats that helped and stuck around. And of course C.G.
Wow
Thank you ..hope overcome your fear
Reminds me to replace my seacocks.
You have to be a bit on the insane side to take a small sailboat into conditions like that. I realize a well built & maintained boat is capable of surviving those conditions but,even on the best of days those are miserable conditions. I sail for fun & the enjoyment so maybe I am missing the "challenging yourself" aspect of sailing. Either way,I am glad they were rescued. Many never live to tell the tale.
The boat became slightly heavier than the water it was sitting on top of. :)
Probably was a broken thru-hull fitting, seacock, etc. Looks like it was an older boat. Older boat + poor maintenance + rough seas + nothing to shove in the new, surprise hole in the hull = helicopter ride home (if you're lucky like these guys were)
ooh, hard to watch! Glad the crew is safe!
Nice to see all the boats that is there to help☺
As we have a lot of thrue pleasure and good times on our boats, it feels even more heart breaking to see this yacht goes down. It's the fear of every sea sailing crew.
A sad sight, but heartwarming to see so many people there to help
Tears in my eyes....
The trawler won be best pleased to have a new snag on the bottom... it's frustrating to not get any details why these things happen afterwards, it's lost opportunity to learn. Owners could make a publicly accessible report available, if a system was in place.
Just google the article in the Shetlandtimes (title : norwegian sailors airlifted to safety as their yacht sinks...) You'll find that it was a 30 feet yacht, and they had problems with rig and ropes. It sunk two and a half hour after the disstress sign was picked up by the Budding Rose (mayday relay?) It sunk because of " taking in water through a breach in the hull..." as the article says. (I understand a secundary problem?)
Heart touching video keep it up
A good reason if you own a yacht to sacifice space and fit positive bouancy.
One sq foot will support 65 lbs
8 foot by 4 foot polyuthane foam sheet 4 inch thick x 3 equals 32 cubic foot that will support 1980 lbs displacement. Cut into sections and stuff it in around the boat
very sad ((my condolences to the owner of the yacht. I recently really want to buy a yacht and I can not imagine how I would react if my boat sank .. this is a very sad and unfortunate (

Меленький Титаник!!! Очень Плохо Когда Уходят Любимые Яхты!!! Самое Главное в Жизни это спасти Экипаж!!!
Kinda small boat to be in such rough conditions especially in the North Sea. Glad to see all were rescued.
Seems like it got water in through the chain locker or the hatch at the forward deck. I doubt the size of boat really matters( ad long as it doesn't capsize)
What a sad sight, at least she will give sea creatures a new home.
@MrFairwinds yes our boat Budding Rose PD418 was built in Campbeltown 1990.The other boat on the video Lapwing PD972 was built in Campbletown as Fraserburgh registered Xmas Rose in 1974.
@jimsanj6 no my boat is the Budding Rose PD418 built by cambletown shipyard 1991, the other boat on the video is the Lapwing PD972 she was built in cambletown 1974 as the Xmas Rose.If l remember correctly the Challenger was decommisioned and cut up in Denmark a few years ago.
hi peter your shipmate from canada ;i love this video !!
@richardmg9 even so if you di attach a line via a diffrent boat remember the sinking boat is still Sinking its still taking on water attatching a line isnt going to do much of anything, the larger boat would only be hauling around a submerged boat that would eventually sink anyways if the line was released. As it would be to heavy to pull out of the water so thats why we have the coast guard.
@TheDickw good examples of it still are great boats. This year I've had mine solo offshore in much worse conditions than this and she kept me very safe. Great sea keeping capabilities.
glad to have first hand accounts. cheers to your rescuers, and cheers to you for surviving.
I know this is over ten years ago but well done for standing by, must have been a comfort to them knowing you were there. Looks like an Albin Singolla to me.... strong enough boats but guess if it was a thru hull gone and no plugs they'd had it.
Thanks for nice comment ...we were glad to help
serenity !!
@DouglasMiles1 it always sad when a boat sinks as l know through experience buts it not long forgotten about if everyone is safe!!
I've always wondered why when there is a large vessel nearby, that several lines aren't attached to save the sinking yacht. It seems to me that the weight of that submerged sailboat would not sink the larger boat.
The stress on such lines would be enormous, and any attachment point on the sinking boat would probably be ripped out.
@@awuma Okay, you make sense - thanks
"I'll never let go ,Rose"
...lets go 2 minutes later
Now I know why the blue water guys favor yachts with watertight compartments.
Always so sad to see the stern of a ship slip beneath the surface like that.
edjucat Stern
Susie Crawford Oops. I watched it again and you are indeed correct. Sorry about that. Whichever end goes under last, it's still a sad thing to see.
edjucat very sad to see ones dream sinking
It’s not a ship, it’s a boat
@@scomo532
The terms "ship" and "boat" describe FUNCTION, not size or other intrinsic features.
It's a SHIP if it carries a tender. It's a BOAT if it serves as a tender to some other vessel.
Also "boat" may be used as a term of affection for any vessel of any function, whereas the term "ship" is often favored in legal documents regardless of the vessel's function.
If all that is too much for you to remember, just say "it depends" and try to look more knowledgeable than you are
What a fucking nightmare! Someone's life and dream sinking to the bottom of the deep blue. Hopefully they had insurance
Hi,
Contrary to how it might look, that sea conditions should be EASILY within what that yacht could handle, none of the waves are breaking, its just a large swell.
I don't know the facts but I imagine some collision / mechanical failure caused it to take on water as the weather would not sink it. :)
I wasn't crazy about being in the North Sea on a 328 ft U.S. Navy Destroyer weighing 4,500 tons, much less a little Yacht!!! Doc Mike USN
I’m usually in a 80foot fishing boat ..sometimes l wish it was a bit bigger
That's hard to watch. Glad everyone was OK.
The rescue services we have in the UK are best in the world !!
I suggest we ask Tony Bullimore, a gentleman from the UK, and his Vendee Globe colleague Thierry Dubois for their opinions on which country provides the best rescue services. :-)
@@MauserM03Blog Australia did a great job rescuing those guys, but it doesn't have a large volunteer lifeboat service, as the UK does.
Steve Barlow Hi Steve. Yes, the UK’s rescue services are top notch. I checked their readiness to respond if needed the last time I crossed their territory. Norway’s too. Without taking away from their professionalism, hiking a frigate to the deep Southern Ocean is on another level, beyond what volunteers can do. Notwithstanding this contrast, the act of plucking people from deadly danger and returning them to their families and their lives is a particularly stunning example of the human condition. It is a privilege to be part of a team that does this work, whether in a military, professional or volunteer capacity. Well done to all.
that is heart-stopping
Not a good sight
Youve never heard of a fathom cant believe that...very common unit for measuring depths 1 fathom is 6 foot or 1.8288 metres!!
Nice boat very similar size and design as mine, easily capable of those conditions clearly holed somehow, assuming crew had liferaft or similar they would have been fine. The conditions actually don't look too bad really. Hard to tell though as film doesn't really show bad weather well.
It might be possible to jerry rig a 'fish finder' (hydroacoustic depth sounding device) with the transponder forward oriented to detect trunks of a larger size; I have the gear but have not tried the setup as such. Are you a boatsman?
@BUDD418 It had inboard engine? Did you guys control the engine and the hoses for cooling?
WOW!!!!!
look at those birds, they were so calm
It wasn't there boat that was sinking that's why they were calm lol
So heartbreaking..
tested all the time ..espescially in winter which can be pretty wild in Scotland!!
@markspence2xxx it was a force 8 with a 5 metre swell.
okay l get what your at ...there damn good anyway as l know at first hand they saved me from my sinking fishing vessel in 60 knot storm!!!
there were "yachts" before popularly owned motor vessels. Interestingly, the Brits use the term yacht to descibe a vessel (originally sail) used for pleasure, not work, larger than a row boat or tender. To "go yachting" was to sail for pleasure. To bad Americans attached size and snobbery to the term, because in it's original use, it implied having fun, vs work, on the water with your vessel.
I love the pride but has it been tested? There are great rescue services all over.
so eerie to see a boat or ship sink...
I've been across that north sea in the winter a few times, and there was no lovely big swell when I was there, just far too many maniac loud mouths on the ships and the coaches.
@AFewGoodPuppets well we call it a yacht in Ne of Scotland.So you dont in your neck of the woods well good on you!!
@BUDD418 so you stood there and videoed it?
As a salvage diver, I look at shots like this and say , wow if they had only read a book on flotation...
spectresquad
what were the ind and/or sea heights because ik those boats can stand up to very strong conditions
@Andrewbokiwi we,ve had that discussion on here before .!in this part of the world we calls them yachts
As with all boats upon lake or sea there is inherent determinance to find the bottom
Is that Shipman 28? Looks very similar.
Dear Peter,
It is not the size of a boat (dare not use the word Yacht, though it's come over here). It is the general state of it. We race the atlantic in 21 foot, singlehanded. . Secondary the skills and the condition of the crew are of great importance. And of course, a smaller boat is more demanding than a big one in heavy weather. We don't know what the problem was. Some problems are just bad luck...
Sad spectacle for everyone involved in sailing. hope you get the insurance and buy a better boat
Solidaire les marins👏👏👏
Thanks
Glad everyone are safe but still sad
Someone’s pride and joy !!
How deep is the water here? New scuba dive attraction?
Probably, they had an inflatable life raft on the yacht. But anyone who has ever been sitting in a raft with waves that high knows that it is no fun.
As a general rule, it's better to stay on board as long as the ship floats.
On the other hand, it's easier for a helicopter to pick somebody up from a life raft than a sail yacht: No masts, shrouds, etc that the lifting gear could interfere with...
@vincent7520 am the skipper of the fishing vessel who took the video.For some unknown reason the yacht(sailing boat) filled with water and the crew couldnt get it pumped out.
90% plug 10% keel
Why? My motorboat is only 8 meters/26 ft. and I'm at the Northsea weekly. Summer ánd winter. I'm never looking for weather like this but the Northsea tends to surprise you with sudden weather changes. It just does that. And still I've never been in real danger once. It's not always about size you know :P
what I meant was against their peers. in the field is one thing against your equals to be able to actually say they are the best(highest score,quickest time etc). I'll give you they are damn good.
funy how it went down by the bow ,i wonder if it hit something and holed the bow section.
@vincentpdonnelly totally agree with you !!
I wonder what happened? How did the water get in?
No doubt. The lives are the important thing. It is still sad seeing a boat go down. The narrow stern & deck profile looks like an older design but it was clean & looks like it was well cared for. I guess you don't know why it went down. It could be anything from a broken through hull to a crack around the keel. Sad to see it go down but they are alive to sail again. lol Hopefully in a steel hull next time given their choice of sailing habits. :)
read the earlier comments!!
the yacht looks like a Shipman28 which is designed and built in ireland and sweeden by ollie enderlin. Sad sight for such a great reliable yacht!
Heartbreaking
That is a norwegian built ALO 28 Sailboat. I have one just like it. Wonder what caused it to take on water...
you've never heard of a fathom meter?
Is the boat a Shipman 28 ?
Respect for the rescue crew. We build new boats all the time so save the people.
Yes it is.
It hurt to watch that boat sink.
What caused this yacht to take on water and sink?
@ridgeback69z no they wernt !!I as skipper wouldnt have allowed them to endanger there lives by boarding the yacht!
When it sank, the only thing left that was visible, was the mast
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it's time for us to leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, an' we'll work no more,
Leave her, Johnny, Leave her!
Of pump or drown we've had full store.
An it's time for us to leave her!
Leave her, Johnny, leave her!
Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her,
Oh the voyage is done and the winds don't blow,
And it's time for us to leave her!
Is that a song?
Nope, thats a UK Coast Guard aircraft, look just under the side window at the front, it shows a UK Prefix aircraft reg starts with G-
is collision with flotsam human error?
Poor boat... what happened?
It sank.
l wouldn't say so ..but l suppose it depends in the flotsams was visible
that sucks I'm very sorry.
That's true....but still sad
as a sailboat owner, it is very sad to watch this video.
Its very sad to see any boat sinking
Hey how this yacht sink? Crashed a ship? İ couldnt understand...
