Very well done ! People not familiar with the local situation should be adware of the very strong tidal current, funneling of the wind around high dunes and a very narrow entrance to to a busy and exposed little harbour. All this makes entree under sail near impossible
I've had the very same experience a few times but I always flew my storm jib and use the full power of the diesel engine coming into our narrow passageway to the harbor, it sure put your abilities to the test.
@@samurai6juingamersz579 Sailing is all about mastering possible risks by the better seamanship. This harbor entering is uncontrolled suicide. BTW: How many decades of sailing do you have in your records?
@@peterebel7899 Uncontrolled suicide, are you sick? I sail now for about 14 years, and I have entered this harbour more then 50 times and 5 times with weather like this. Never had problems with entering the harbour. Just control your ship and know what ur doing. Every time you do it again, you get some extra experience. The most difficult harbour was for me entering the harbour of Borkum. Did that three times with 7 bft and once with 9 bft. Hard to get in, but we made it.
@@samurai6juingamersz579 Entering a harbor under wrong conditions is at the top of the list of the last maneuvers sailors did prior of termination of boat/sailor's lives. It is not about the wind strength, it is about swell status and the depth of the barre. As soon as the wave tops are after than your boat there is a tendency them making the skipper becoming passenger and the boat no more following the rudder. The closer to cliffs/walls, ... you are the greater the "fun". I sailed for 50 years now without accident.
Nicely judged....but the cost of a broach or engine failure etc would be the end of his yacht as there's no 'plan B' in this situation.... Though still nicely done...
Its funny yall and others have made this claim without knowing what the actual.plans were. Maybe just appreciate the visuals of a skipper using his skills to complete a challenging approach. Me personally I would have strapped an acme rocket on each side and skipped across the ocean surface like someone skipping a stone
@reindeerkid bro that's silly By the time you get enough scope out to set an anchor you've already crashed here. And in the end you have a line blocking the entrance for other yachts...nah.
On what looks like a port broad reach, a reefed main and / or foresail would have helped stabilise the hull in pitch and roll. It would also have been a back-up against failed mechanical propulsion. He had 5 sail ties on the boom Total faith and reliance on mechanical propulsion with little chance of a plan B. I would have motor-sailed it with a reefed foresail, only 2 ties on the main and the death-wish crew to starboard elsewhere. This was bouncy, but a relatively simple entrance made more dangerous by taking the sails in.
Interesting perspective. I like/get it. Even just a bit of foresail out might have been sufficient for a controlled approach with idling engine? It's been a while for me, but flying light aircraft involves always having a plan B if the fan stops spinning!
@@hogey74 John, I was a flyer before I was a sailor. (Flying is 3 dimensional sailing). Yes in this breeze I would have gone in with a 50% reefed genoa and an engine in idle on this broad reach. If he got the sail area right he would have done less pitching and more surfing .... that depends on how well he knows his yacht. With some sail up there would be less rolling too. If the engine failed he would still have the foresail to carry him through. Less ties on the mainsail, but probably he would not have enough time to get it up very far anyway as he had very little room. As it is he only had one option, the engine, so a dangerous approach.
@@Boatyarddog In Europe you have green on your right inbound - red on your right out-bound. In Key West I have noticed it is the other way around - you have red right inbound and green right outbound. This clip should be the European way and the marker on the pier to the right inbound is green.
Never ever would I start a try in this conditions. - Never ever.
This is a brilliant Maneuver . He knows what he has to do. Very skilled.

Hut ab! Bei diesem Wetter und Dwarsstrom, super Leistung Skipper!!!!

I'd sail with that captain in a heartbeat. Excellent seamanship in that cross wind.
Why to take the risk?
Bad trip planning!

It's not only the cross wind here, there is also a tide current
Nothing is as nice as getting to a port on the high seas, you have to try it before you know how nice and relaxing it is.
The gal on her phone at the end really sells this
I think I'd like to have the main up in case the engine crapsout
good job he has a reliable engine.
Ballsy and skilled. Respect!

I agree.
Interesting point. I'm not qualified to agree or disagree but I think I get it -- A reefed Genoa wouldn't hurt.
Hatten wir auch schon, da hilft nur vorhalten und Full Engine Power 🏄♂️
good job capt.
Feels good, man. :)
Tight,good job
Extremely difficult maneuvre. A following sea neutralizes the rudder.
Grande manovra!!!😃👏👏👏
Good show!
very good skipper....
You wouldn't want to broach coming in there !
That wasn't easy.I worked in these conditions in the Humber on a small boat.
Very well judged captain
Cool video
Sun Fizz, very good boat!!
Thats how its done man.
...И с налёта,с поворота

I am not sure I understand his navigation according to the red buoy.
Remember, Red,Right,Returning
Red buoy further out, is a channel marker.

In Europe you have green on your right inbound - red on your right out-bound.

Surfin’ safari! 🏄♂️
Let's go surfing now
Everybody's learning how
Come on a safari with me
Definitely Dutch flag!
"French Flower" is apparently a dutch boat.
Under engine - not true! :D
My grandfather almost died here
Y'all impresed
Thanks. 😎🚤🚤
Wicked.
Hairy!
I just peed myself.
Klasa
Is not frech boat is an Schleswig-Holstein flag
its a dutch boat dutch flag dutch harbour
the boat only is french it's a janneau
crazy
🙀🙀🙀
Calm waters don't make a good sailor
No, but rough waters can make a dead sailor, esp if an inexperienced one.
@@sbkenn1yes, sailing is risky, thx captain obvious.
It's wrong.

Why open your mouth when you know shit ! It's a sun fizz !
@@sailingfuga1494 janneau is the best! simple, strong ,and good at sea the best of french made
petit they're schite light weight modern crap is what they are.
That was well done but it wasn't THAT difficult!
It‘s more about the tidal cross current which cuts of when you enter. Together with the wind it is tricky.
You from the netherlands?
Because its a tight harbor entrance
Oh shut up
