Your call for Mayday attracted me to your site. This is a dreaded incident for all sailors but thanks to true sailors people will be saved. God be with you. I would like much to follow your travels. BE WELL!
That could have been so much worse. Well done on monitoring your VHF and locating the ‘needle in the haystack’, it just goes to show that flares are still really useful! I hope the Danish couple recover from this and manage to go sailing again. Best wishes to all of you.
Fantastic job very well done, a great example of the calibre of the people you meet in the sailing community. You are true Hero’s . The best of luck on your adventure .
Outstanding what you did and you should be so proud, above all a smile is the expression that is under stood around the globe and there was plenty at the end of your video.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. I’m so happy to add you to my favorite sailing channels, and so grateful that Gwendolyn’s crew is safe. I look forward to watching all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey with those of us who can’t yet go ourselves.
👍Thank goodness everyone is safe. Every time I think about getting a sailboat, I think of something like this and I pause. 😢😔 👍Just found your channel, I’ll check out your other videos as well. Safe travels. 🤗💞🤗
Very satisfying outcome from a tragic event All that was needed was there for you to complete it Good seamanship Good comms and safeties Calm and precise decision making Two healthy people removed from the liferaft without mishap
Striking an unknown submerged object! That would be my biggest fear for losing a ship. Such a random and remote chance happening, yet here we see that it does in fact happen. I extend great gratitude to those who involved themselves in the rapid rescue of the crew, and their safe return to land. Cheers from Winnipeg.
And that’s exactly the reason why I want my bluewater vessel equipped with effective bulkheads around the notorious areas where leaks occur, holes in the boat/seacocks, rudder and keel bolts in order to limit the impact and keep the boat afloat as long as possible. Also, an engine driven pump mechanism helps a lot, as long as diesel isn’t out the engine runs and pumps the water out (instead of pumping water from the see it pumps from inside the boat). At least this will buy time. Cheers
Pretty intense...excellent job in detailing the ordeal...hope I never have to deal with that, but you guys did a splendid job! Just found your channel, looking forward to watching older videos...cheers and favorable winds.
Of course, there are a lot of whales around Niue and between Niue and Tonga. In Niue, the whales swim through the anchorage, especially at night. It would be a big help if you correct the auto generated CC. The CC does not pick up or render the voices on the VHF. It would be a big help if you fill that portion in. Nice video!
shame about the boat , glad you are all safe , and well done the rescuers . ( nice to see the catamaram Inspire , have not seen anything from them for a long time )
Possibly a container, there are loads of them in the ocean and they often sit just beneath the surface of the water. We used to practise for disaster, but disaster often (usually) happens at night when you cant see anything and it happens often very fast. Luckily for these seafarers, help was not far away.
wow they hit somthing unknown underwater and the boat was steel ? that is bad luck I want to buy aluminium boat but now I am scared is well it can happen to any boat also with catamaran what mistakes they made what did you do to prevent it ?
so, does anyone have any tips on how to avoid repeating what happened to this couple? how do you avoid, or at least minimize the chance of colliding with an unseen object at night in your boat?
Maybe heaving to at night should be the standard.....but who actually watches ahead 100% ofthe time when cruising? Maybe its just bad luck and unavoidable sometimes
Slowing down at night is a good idea for sure. Heaving to might be a bit extreme. The one problem with many of those objects is that they're not necessarily visible during daytime either. Scarily, there's over 1000 containers lost at sea each year, according to the World Shipping Council. No idea how many of those will sink quickly and how many will float.
I heard steel yachts are better because if you hit something, they don’t sink and fibreglass yachts do sink. Now I know it’s all garbage and steel boats have the hassle of endless rust. Avoid them

Thank you!
Fantastic rescue and recount on video. Thank you. Well done !

HEROES in the middle of the Pacific Ocean....Bravo my brave beloved friends. My thoughts are always with you during your bold sailing adventure 💋

Damn, that story had me in goosebumps when the mayday came in...
Darkness, strong winds, open sea. You did an excellent job!

You guys were so brave. Thank God everybody is fine. Take care🙏🏻
Gio EDM Thank you!! 😊

Well done! Thank god you were there!
Μπράβο ρε παιδιά, συγχαρητήρια για την επιτυχή έκβαση της διάσωσης!!
So Rad you guys were there to save the day!!!
How fantastic and what nice people they all were. I also think this is is a safety message to all sailors on how things work correctly.
Drifting container?
Good seamanship saving the unlucky crew ✌
Wish your vessel fair winds and smooth sea 🌞
Very moving. I'm sorry for the Danish crew but well done everyone involved. The cruising life has many rewards but also some big challenges.
Such an amazing story
Best part was everyone is safe which I am very pleased to hear about
I'm crying. so beautiful action! congratulations!
Great rescue I wonder how many semi submerged containers are floating around in the ocean?
Check these out th-cam.com/video/Q8r8a8_GtG0/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/M5rX5EWmWVk/w-d-xo.html
A lot of them!

We have added CC to all our videos. Thank you for the comment 🙏😊

shame about the boat , glad you are all safe , and well done the rescuers . ( nice to see the catamaram Inspire , have not seen anything from them for a long time )
Well done, an amazing rescue. What will the Gwendoline couple do now I wonder?
Wow. I know you did what any sailor would do but still bravo παιδιά.
Ευχαριστούμε! Να'σαι καλά!

what is the solution forward looking sonar perhaps ? it was steel boat something is not right
Well done, good and kindly people.
Wow! Well done!
Absolutely awesome job on the rescue. Sound was not the best but who cares. Love the wife smokes, makes it more real 😎
Nice job..May Poseidon be with you ;)
If you are crossing oceans there is nothing safer than a full length keel and a skeg hung rudder.
Δυσαρεστο..... αλλα τελος καλο ολα καλα !!! Η υποθεση διασωση ειδικα την νυχτα δεν ειναι καθολου ευκολη υποθεση .... μπραβο για την επιτυχη διασωση παιδια !!!
Good job!
LYKKE TIL . You can always get another boat. Another life is much harder.
Textbook. Well done.
Bravo!
Εύγε φίλε μου!!
respect to you both
WELL DONE!!!!
Well done.
They probably see your dress code as 'equally strange'
Did he had inssurance for the Boad?
any details on what they hit?, what was the name of there yacht. great rescue efforts.
I ts in the title....and a huge container of severed feet in shoes
wow they hit somthing unknown underwater and the boat was steel ? that is bad luck I want to buy aluminium boat but now I am scared is well it can happen to any boat also with catamaran what mistakes they made what did you do to prevent it ?
Anda berdua luar biasa 👍👍
terima kasih 😊Thank you!!!
So did they ever determine what they hit?
Could of been parts from aircraft serial number 28420 floating just under he surface
most likely it was a sea container
Just the idea that there are "semi submerged objects" out there is terrifying.
so, does anyone have any tips on how to avoid repeating what happened to this couple? how do you avoid, or at least minimize the chance of colliding with an unseen object at night in your boat?
An omen is never good. A sign is.
A bad omen.
A good sign.
Stay safe.
Thanks for your comment. In our culture an omen can be both. Be well 😊
@@sailingfilizi in English too. Lovely video by the way.
Bravo 👏
Μας τρελανατε με την σημαία που βάλατε στον τοίχο!!
did they hit whale or shipping container or was keel bolts bad ?
what ever they hit , it was solid, because it sunk a steel boat.
Never visiting Niue for sure!!
μπράβο παιδιά,συγχαρητήρια.
ΜΙΧΑΛΗΣ ΣΙΜΟΣ Να είσαι καλά, ευχαριστούμε. Κάναμε το αυτονόητο.
Respect- angels of the sea ❤️👏😁xx
I wonder what they hit, must've been something very solid to sink a steel yacht 🤔
Drug sub most likely
Hi guys another subscription from a fellow sailor !
I haven't seen all your videos but it would be a good idea to present your boat no ?
boardelia Thanks for subscribing! If you visit www.sailingfilizi.gr you’ll find everything about Filizi :-)
Well done , Not mush shipping around there so more than likely a whale , good out come - Says something about a skeg hung rudder ??
I am becoming a big believer in skeg hung rudders.
Probably hit a negative buoyant shipping container lost from a cargo ship.
^..^~~
bravo
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

👍
Could have hit semi submerged container, I hit one in a force 8, yep, sunk in less than 3 mins.
Nothing worse than seeing your pride and you sink☹️
Andre Percy So sorry for this, it must have been a nightmare! Great that you survived, though. 😞
but it was steel boat or plastic ? and what would you do again to prevent it ?
avoid ship channels
Ξανα μπραβο!!! Απλα σας ακολουθω πια
3:30 austrian spirits? ^^ $ämsink out sehr v v
It töök secöndce?
