Sailing into a 50 KNOT GALE- Worst Storm We've Ever Seen- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 93
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2024
- Sailing to Madagascar we get hit by the biggest gale we've ever seen. We're about 240 miles East of the northern cape of Madagascar when the GRIB files start to show a compressed pressure gradient and forecasts of 30-40 knots.
We shorten sail and prepare for the rough weather. The forecast is way too low and we end up seeing 50 knots of wind and 7-10M (20-30 ft) waves during the worst part of it, which of course happens at night. The crew gets tossed around like crazy and everyone is forced to stay in their bunks while Capt. Breeyawn and The Braidster take 30 minute shifts hand steering down the waves all night long. It's a really intense experience but Delos is a strong boat and takes very good care of us.
This is our story, a story of three souls sailing around the world. It is a story about sailing, but it's also a story about the fantastic people we meet and amazing places we see. It's a story of people living their lives in an alternate way, in close connection with the beautiful people and amazing planet that we call home. Our experience has affected us so profoundly we want to share it, hoping that others may find inspiration to follow their dreams and do what they love.

Everywhere Delos has been. All the countries it has seen. This is the most memorable episode for me. It really shows how Mother Nature can and will show her might. Brian and Brady handled it with grace and poise.
After watching so many episodes over the years, i love coming back to these Indian ocean episodes. The epidemy of wind, ocean, crew and boat. I think the best of Delos. Absolutely love the Amel. SK in the UK.
İt had the best crew chemistry.
Feels so weird to relive this!!! Haha chills... Indeed GNARLY.
Feels so weird to see you as a viewer and not a participant.
hey girl! hope all is going well
ditto, hope all is well.
i always wanted to ask you Josje, How is your dutch still? :p because ive heard you and babs sing the dutch birthday song :P
so happy to get news from you, hope you're OK, you'll be with us and in our hearts for a long time.... wishing you all the best that you dreamed for
That is one frickin' awesome boat. Wind blowing gale force, waves crashing and person at the helm stays relatively dry. Brilliant!!!!!
been a sailor all my days.....you handled that storm with a calm proffessionalism....
well done to all of you... keep it up
The Captain will break before the boat and Delos has a good one.
Fair winds.
I keep coming back to this episode now and then . It's one of your best.
[Liz] Brady's comment about preferring not to see what the waves were like at daylight RANG SO TRUE!!
We had a similar three day experience in the Indian Ocean which tested our mettle as sailors and as a two-person team. Putting your life in the hands of someone else one minute, then being responsible for them the next forges an unbreakable bond. Fantastic episode, and I KNOW it was 10 times worse than the camera showed.
Peace and fair winds!
Sailing followtheboat i had a similar experience in the north athletic. I was cocky and young and thought i could handle it alone in a 26 footer
SV Methos that just seems like a bad idea
Arrrgggg i reckon this be true
@@yegmtb8377 aye!
Batten the hatches and close the companion way off!
Hold Fast!!!
it's been a long time since this was filmed and posted, but @22:00 I've got to give Brian and Brady a sincere BZ for sending everyone below and taking ultimate responsibility. True Captains. Cheers all!
Yes, that was some gnarly gale!
I think the value of the Amel brand just increased. Brian and Frida's testimony of their confidence in Delos is the best endorsement a manufacturer could ever get. Chantiers Amel S.A. owes this crew a lot more than just buying them a beer.
What a ride. This vid particularly, reminds me of my youth days fishing off the West Coast of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Island, BC, Canada) 30 days out, without touching land on 54' Wooden Freezer Trawler. In those 30 days we hit weather such as this more than once. 30' swells, Buddy boat ahead of us would completely disappear in the trough's, poles and all until we surf up the side of the wave and catch a glimpse of them until we dive down again. Wooohoo....lets ride. Looks like fun to me. Congrats on spectacular vids, informative and educational all rolled into one.
Gutsy folks sailing right along at night in 40 knots. In my experience, everything seemed MUCH worse in the dark! So the fact that she can drive calmly and note that "its a bit scary" makes me admire her courage.
She looks almost worried.
Fantastic episode guys! We watched it on our boat in the Bahamas, in a 30 knot blow, with a swell coming in the anchorage. Felt like we were immersed in your adventure. Thanks for all your hard work getting these video to us. Cheers from M/V C-Shel!
We wonder how many times you have all looked back at this video and smiled? - Those long nights are such a drag & scary - You deserve two thumbs up for this for sure - Fair winds from the Caribbean
You make it unbearable to wait for the next episode! By far the best series I've seen on TH-cam yet.
You hit it right ;) Greetings from Stockholm
It's easy to forget the inherent dangers in sailing long distances after watching and enjoying all the great videos of the fun stops at isolated atolls...etc. Great job by the Captain and crew of the SV Delos.
Scary! I was getting chills watching it..... glad you all made it through safely!!
the use no lifejackets or any other equipment that should be used during bad weather. if someone gets overboard chances they will turn around for him and find him are very low
Followed them from the beginning - love the adventure - keep it up SV Delos

Great description of the storm and what it was like sailing it! AWESOME VID!!!
I'm glad to see that you guys and the boat got through that OK. I can well understand about it being frightening with all that noise, wind and massive seas.
Incredible footage, very raw and emotional. Thanks for sharing....
Chasing Life i got sumn nice for yuu to taste
Much respect Delosians. Fine boat ... finer crew ... Well done Capt. Brian
You are so impressive. In an extreme wind condition, you have the most experienced helmsmen on watch, and you have the biggest hole in the boat, the main hatch, closed, as it should be. Your attention to the safety of the boat and the crew is admirable. Keep up the good work (Yeah, I know this is an older video so in fact you kept up the good work, past tense.) You had adventures and you survived. That is proper captaincy and leadership. Best Regards.
What an awesome video...one of your best...filled with excitement and the realism of ocean sailing. Great job!
Thanks for posting really awesome footage. Impressive crewing and helming.
the best and most spine tingling video so far
That was the most riveting video you've put out. You perfectly captured the tension of foul weather sailing. Bravo!
I’ve seen this episode several times and it’s probably my favorite. Cool stuff 🤘🏼
Phenomenal episode. The sound of wind and waves is an adrenaline surge just by watching the video with headphones. I can imagine the actual experience was exponentially greater. Thanks again for taking us along.
Guys that was absolutely fantastic, I've sailed in some rough seas but that has to be something else, incredible footage, and properly made me feel the power of the ocean all over again ..... fabulous !
Exciting episode guys. Absolutely love the show!!! Be safe in your travels.
Bryan from Ontario, Canada
yup, pretty knarly. I was in the navy on a destroyer outrunning a hurricane in the Atlantic. In 20+ foot seas we were taking green water over the bow and 2 file cabinets broke loose and chased me around the shop a bit. We let them have their way till the weather smoothed out a bit. Fun times... :-). Tootles... Wade BeSafe
So I started learning about sailing since watching this channel and only recently read about rogue waves and the conditions in that part of the world. Gave me a whole new appreciation for Delos as a vessel and crew on this leg of the trip. So fucking gnarly
very nice blue water boat.
Excellent crew and captain!
Love watching this episode over every now and then. It is a Delos classic. One of your greatest productions. Thanks
Gnarly indeed! Glad you guy made it though. What an awesome adventure!
Just the most awesome sailing video of all time ! Fantastic narration Brian you really brought out the vitality and realism of that epic stormy night wrestling the elements in the dark. Extreme man ! The first time i watched this I nearly had an anxiety attack. I love that intense sailing you's went through . You and your whole are my heroes. The best job of video I've ever seen !
I can't imagine a smaller boat out in that weather, and it's crazy to think much smaller boats have indeed been in weather like that and made it fine! The waves crashing over the beam would be the scariest part I feel like. Great episode.
Sailing Vessel Somnium Girls need a shower really bad
So pleased your all safe.. natures fierce and exciting.
I just found your channel and videos and wanted to say thanks for taking the time to document your adventures. The team was amazing. This really makes me want to get out in a larger boat and see how she handles.
Glad you made it through all that...Great Job!
Great video. So real it's surreal. So intense. I'm going to have to watch it again.
Sure hope you guys keep sharing, I enjoy every episode! Would love to see more of your everyday life and interactions with strangers. Hope you have the wind to your backs and smooth waves!
Well done B & B. When the wind is aft of the beam, you need to keep moving. Keep up the courage.
This is so much better than watching reality TV. No commercials, no scripts, actual reality and drama that's not fabricated. Thank you!
Awsome guys! Glad you're all safe that looks unreal
Such an intense voyage and I am happy you made it through. One of your best sailing videos showing all of us what is required to make it from one point to another. Glad you all are safe. I was even rocking on my couch with the waves. Stay safe and well.
I'm watching all the videos for the 2nd time and I love this episode.
Well done Delos & crew! Never much fun, we experienced a similar strong gale when sailing south to the Canary islands... always good to look back on to tell the stories! Keep up the awesome work, love your videos from South Australia!!
epic. good thing you have a good boat and a good brother!
Gnarly, just frigging Gnarly! You guys are a great team!
😐
Kombi!!!
Delos is a bad ass boat with a bad ass crew! awesome awesome awesome!
Greetings from South Africa , Cape Town , keep the sailing coming SV Delos
Far out man that was an intense episode!!!
Awesome episode, thanks guys
Just. Wow. Love your channel. Really helped me get through a really, really jacked up year. Love me some Delos!!!
Wow... absolute fricken wow! Good job crew!
Thanks for the vids. Love watching your adventures!!
by far my favorite episode
Awesome sailing video! What a great life you all are alive in.
Just watched this on my smart tv, SV Delos I am so appreciative of the quality of your videos. Amazing videography
Quite honestly, I think this is my favorite of all your videos.
simply awesome guys! Glad you guys made it...
Glad to see Brian wearing a life jacket. Serious stuff.
ONCE AGAIN A GREAT CREW PULLS TOGETHER AS ONE , THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB WORKING TOGETHER FOR ALL ON BOARD .
i love the narration. That was a riveting adventure -had me on the edge of my seat!
Another awesome episode Delos crew.
Looked like a hell of a ride.
I really enjoyed Fridas behind the scenes.
I love you, Babs!! 😊❤
wow quite the adventure ride. great job
Great vid! Shows your competency as true sailors. Glad you made it safe. Happy Thanksgiving!
I have to watch this again. This was the best SV Delos video.
Got chills watching this one. Glad you guys are safe.
Wow. Anyhow great sailing, good teamwork, and it's great to see full weather conditions with the boat and crew. Thanks!
Wow DelosCrew! So impressed with how you all handled this crazy weather! You all stayed so calm! I was so nervous for y'all - those are HUGE waves!
I love the behind the scenes section. All in all AMAZING footage, amazing amazing footage. Also the narrator was fantastic.
the sound of the wind was insane good job crew happy Thanksgiving yesterday
One of my favorites yet. Awesome stuff.
Great boat, greater crew (especially when under some real stress in 40+ gusting) and one of the best videos ever to give a sense of what its like in a big breeze on a dark night - even though video never truly does the sea state justice - and the Super Maramu has such a sweet ride in a seaway, to say nothing of a solid bimini to keep you dry (well dry'ish) : -))).
You guys are amazing
best episode ever. Sooooooo proud of you guys. you are an inspiration. much love.
Im so glad yall were able to put some video of bad conditions, it makes you appreciate the power of the ocean.......well done crew
Wow, what a wicked trip, I know you made it through, that will live with everyone as one hell of a trip!
Havent watched your videos ina long while and hearing the intro song is so nostalgic
Ohhh, That's scary. We used to sail on a lake in New Mexico. We would get nasty, nasty wind storms. That was bad enough & we didn't have to worry about waves. Glad you all made it through okay. You reminded me of exactly why I will stick to weekend lake sailing. :)
Glad you are all safe and well - the noise from the wind was intense, the only time I have ever heard anything like that was up in the mountains in Austria when I was camping in the middle of a lightening storm
Stay safe guys and safe sailing
Wow, that was awesome to watch!! Glad to see that all went well, you guys rock! :)
Damn good stuff again! Thank you!
Great vid guys!
Now that's sailing!
Great video! Looked scary as hell! Nice job sailing the boat through that. Glad you all made it safely.
you guys should get some IR night flood lights so you could film the waves better
Yes , give us a look at the waves and hull and water .
Easy to say awsome footage and so cool on this end but, damn! That's one tough boat and crew.
you guys are just getting better and better
Now that is some weather! Awesome video!
That was amazing. Great episode with balls to the wall, sailing. Have only been following for two weeks, but binge-watched and read everything. Well sailed under extreme conditions and very calm skippering Bryan (what we saw, anyway ;) )
thanks god you have new rigging
That was an awesome video! Great job of the video and even better of the sailing!
I've watched almost every video of your voyages and have never slept so good
Looks like you guys passed Neptune's stormy test with flying colours. Good going! Safe sailing and happy adventures to you all!
Glad you all arrived safe!!
This video took me right along with, what an exciting ride. Well done-
WOW, I've been thru some wicked storms...on Huge ships...it makes you realize what reality is...it will bond and solidify relationships. I can't imagine riding that storm on a small boat. You guys rock!!
wow! That looked like a long night for you all! Glad you made you way through it! :)
