So many boats fell off their jack stands. In the U.K. Insurance companies insist on welded steel cradles for boats. So many cats flipped upside Down! There was a time when you always took you mast down for winter in UK. Looks like a lot of masts could have been saved if properly stored in a strong building...... So hard to see, I feel for everyone. Thanks for posting.
As a almost 20yr marine contractor I would like to offer just my opinion. If you are thinking of buying an old/damaged boat with intentions of fixing it up, DONT. 80% of you won’t make it. Just get a newer boat or one in better shape. Save your wallet and nerves a lot of pain.
I had missed that footage last year. interesting how many mast were down on the sailing yachts and how many had fallen of their jack stands. In the UK the boat yards and probably insurance companies too make you use welded stands for the boat not just jack stands than can slip out. looks like the yards where they has wood props and nailed cross bracing held up ok but they still lost masts.I would like to see the same footage a year later.... cheers warren
Most of those ships were out of the water they have just knocked off their supports on a few but most will be able to go back in the water with reasonable repairs made amazing video none the less !
Yes they do dear, most of them do, they cannot moor in harbours just by the power of the wind. They all have outboards, unless it is a 2 person recreational Lazer.
as a (non rich) yacht owner in the UK this is tragic. Bought an old jenaneau recently from essex and that cost enough to get good again with lots of work. so i feel extremely sorry for those yacht owners affected by the hurricane too. soo many demasted yachts. guess they got tangled up. some people may have taken a mortgage out to live on some of those yacht, some are likeley charter yachts. and yes dont have to be a rich person if you have a yacht granted most of theme on those islands may be but im sure theres just as many that arent. and the local islanders need those yachts and what goes with it for employment
It's not easy living on a Island and they take chances just living there. You need deep pockets. I hate that this happened and I hope everyone lived through it.
you're probably right. i just have no idea what they will do with the ones that are a COMPLETE loss, no value what so ever. they most likely don't have a dump to handle that much volume. maybe they could sink them into a huge reef.
If the French and Dutch governments put up s few billion euros, and we give them a few years to rebuild, the tourists might return, but getting the politicians to pay is a big if.
This is absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry for you and all those who have lost so much. I'm literally in shock! Thank goodness you made it through. You can replace a boat for sure. Be strong!! the sun will shine again :)
Surreal and tragic. Great footage that will be an invaluable resource for both property and vessel owners. As appropriate, and as time permits throughout the recovery process........if any of the marina owners need assistance please feel free to reach out.
So much damage, boats are so easy to damage out in the open water, maybe spending millions on infrastructure to keep them secure inside a hurricane proof shelter would be a better salutation.
i don't understand things like this. they had a few days notice that shit was going to get real. some of the boats weren't sea worthy but most would have been. to us land lubbers it seems like common sense to move your boat, pay someone to move your boat. if you can get a 3 day head start heading south you could be 120-150 miles away. why don't more people do this. this is in the "box" so hurricane insurance has got to be ungodly expensive. why not move?
3 days isnt enough. any boat yard can only move one boat at a time into the water or out with the cranes. plus not many places to go in 3 days within the vicinity im sure. what takes an hour to travel by car can take 4-5 hours by sail boat
if you think those people with the $750K cats still in the water in the marine, laying on their tops, couldn't get that boat 150 miles away or they couldn't get it out of the water and demasted in 3 days.........you're an underachiever. im calling the boat yard and offering them $10K to get my boat out of the water and demasted, or im paying jonny the islander $5K to provision and sail in the opposite direction of the storm. if im poor, im sailing my own boat. it's get out and sail for 3 days or lose my home, not a tough decision.
In the best of conditions, a thirty foot monohull can expect between 90-120 miles traveled per day. And with the hurricane track unknown, can you get out of the storm radius in that timeframe. I’m guessing for many it was a risk choice of being in a semi sheltered area versus risk of being in the full brunt at sea...
Thank you for the video... I cannot 'like' this as the destruction is mind numbing. It's not the losses of yachts owned by 'the rich' that we should focus on. It's the utter loss of jobs and tourism dollars and services that has been wiped away.. For months of not years. The bootstraps they are supposed to grab are 10 fathoms below.
This is so horrible, my government should donate taxpayers money to help reconstruction.. Oh wait a minute, no need, it appears that my country's tax money is already on your fiscal paradise island so, I think you guys will be just fine.
these are horrible scenes.... hope there will be funds available to start rebuilding... I guess most of those yachts will be auctioned off to cover the expenses, does anyone know if it would be a public auction if so where and when. A lot of people would be able to take part in rebuilding the islands this way.
“The WHO also states that malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases. Undernutrition is a contributory factor in the death of 3.1 million children under five every year. Starvation - Wikipedia”
Erik Grobbelaar most of these island economies rely on sailing tourism, a lot of the boats that were destroyed were maintained by local companies and people. So not only have their homes been destroyed but their livelihoods have been too.
donate to all the people that were employed by the "poor rich people." that no longer have business to run, or jobs to go to because all the docks and restaurants and hotels have been destroyed. It isn't the rich people that are devastated.
Reuse? Or grind and burn. Some people make a living bulding new boats. Other to repair. Insurance pays. You pay the insurance. But Haiti and st maarten has not recover and new hurricanes will hit. So New thinking is needed to handle climate change.
Top Jimmy that's what I said, horrible video, poor resolution and contrast . Pan and sweep poorly done as well. Music is horrible and appears to make light of destruction.
I'm trying to save up enough money to buy a cruising sailboat, myself. To see so many trashed dreams is shocking. Probably not as shocking as for the people who live there all the time who've lost homes and more. My sympathies to you all
That is totally untrue! There are many companies that offer hurricane insurance or named storm insurance. If you are too cheap to pay for one that does offer coverage then you take these types of risks, but to make a blanket statement like that is factually wrong! Do you really think that all of the hundreds of yachts that were destroyed in Tortola that were managed by the Moorings, Sunsail, TMM etc., were uninsured?? You would have to be crazy!!
That is total bullshit! Most can't be present in the short period of time it would take to move the boat to a safer island, or they have their boat being managed by a charter company like the Moorings and that company is supposed to try and protect the vessel as much as possible...
Newzchspy TRUE!! The footage sucks and where are all the dead bodies?? A true drone-expert would have seen the bodies and would zoom in. This could be c9j9RT's backyard.
LK; Did you ever think those boats are Charter Boats for hire and the entire Local economy is wrapped up in those yachts? Oh of course not you don't think, you just complain and act self righteous!
"Second home. Work hard to cruise 1/2 the year." I rest my case. 7.5 billion people and most work hard to go day by day 365/year and God help them if they get sick. Not to mention the cars, pools, plastic surgery, drinks at the bar ..... no, not rich and I'm the asshole?
Chester Finecat the rich work hard and found a way to get where they are and you managed not too and are now complaining about the rich instead of changing your lifestyle to live like them stop complaint and change your life dude the rich live like that cause they made it don't be jealous
Krionic - just poor little creeps that cheat their neighbors on real estate or stock swindles, retiring at 52 because they worked "so hard." Didn't have t thing handed to you, did you? Please go on about your boot straps and all the spin off good you do. Sweat shop owners "provide employment" in your world.
Crazed Rock I know plenty of the rich and damn few did anything except parlay the wealth they inherited and the privilege resulting from the accident of their birth. These islands are populated by the descendants of poor souls forcible enslaved and now kept that way by the generous capitalist system. I'm less jealous than disgusted by the rich.
haha! I'm STILL paying off my student loan. No. never had anything handed to me. Just "hard work". You should try it some time. It is rewarding and you don't have to vent on TH-cam chat about how shitty your own life is. you only got one person blame, buddy: Yourself.
This video is very helpful and well done. Thanks very much for sharing. Would be very interested to see the same footage today.

Well, the entire purpose of a boat is to lose money...

Why doesn't everyone take a trip on thier boats during big hurricanes?
Do people ever take the boats out of the water
There's usually a weeks notice that a hurricane is coming your way
I'm curious how many hundreds of tons or fuel and shit spilled out of all the damaged/sunken boats.
Dixfer A hell of a lot. Its a toxic cesspool by the sea.
Yes, sailboats have engines. and fuel. only the smallest of sailboats do not have an engine
Yes they do dear, most of them do, they cannot moor in harbours just by the power of the wind. They all have outboards, unless it is a 2 person recreational Lazer.
It would be Heavely to spend the rest of my days theres
Re building Boats & Having fun under those moonlit nights ! ...Just Beautiful
do you have new footage of the same up to now ,,, thanks

It's not easy living on a Island and they take chances just living there. You need deep pockets. I hate that this happened and I hope everyone lived through it.
what does an island with very limited space for land fill, do with $100M worth of garbage yachts? ship it somewhere?
im guessing much more value.
you're probably right. i just have no idea what they will do with the ones that are a COMPLETE loss, no value what so ever. they most likely don't have a dump to handle that much volume. maybe they could sink them into a huge reef.
Exactly what I was going to say.
If i was in the position to pack up and leave to salvage one of these that would be a dream come true
If the French and Dutch governments put up s few billion euros, and we give them a few years to rebuild, the tourists might return, but getting the politicians to pay is a big if.
all the masts down - pure windage or flying bebree.
If i was in a position to pack up and leave and salvage one of those that would be a dream come true
....one of my favorite places, so beautiful :(
I am a seagoing tug captain and id be willing to donate my time to any one that needs it.
Beachfront view is so beautiful
Were all these in the water?
michael d yes
no most look dry docked
ARE THERE ANY FOR SALE STILL????
Alot of those boats are sitting on wood supports
Wonder if i could get a job their ?
It is sad but there are some bargain boats available.
This is absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry for you and all those who have lost so much. I'm literally in shock! Thank goodness you made it through. You can replace a boat for sure. Be strong!! the sun will shine again :)
good video but the music makes it a little disturbing.
Not saying it wasn't bad but a lot of the land flyovers, you're gonna have to look at Google Earth before the storm. It really is not that different.
Seems like the wrong type of music for this video
froggersman I've been saying that all along that it's a horrible video........
Classic tone death.
Nope, it fits perfectly.
Il est plus facile de voir la vidéo que d'écouter la musique c'est une horreur cette musique .

thats the kind of information i was looking for, thanks
Is it ever possible to refloat the damaged vessels lting around or are they trashed?
Just say'in.... There is a reason people bug out this time of year.
Grind up all the fiberglass, add epoxy and make new boats , salvage all the hardware and use it on the new boats !
Some good deals I bet.
Tragic though, what a mess.
Anh là người việt à ở st marten? Tình hình bên Đảo bên kia thì sao
Boats and structures can be replaced, human lives cannot !
Cut the music
Frank Rice The music fits the mood IMHO...
Did you know you can cut the volume on your pc ?
Amazing when you have nothing better to say when all you need to do is mute the sound...
If you have nothing good to say, then please just say nothing - No body gives a S@#$ about your opinion.

Saddest video on TH-cam
Boo Boo! Now that my yaucht is broken what will I play with now?
Lots of rich,cranky boat owners, no doubt !!
Actually, I would hope the affluent would be mindful of the working class.
FIX IT UP SO WE CAN PLAY
Pray for them.

Roman Bourquin what's that to do with Irma and the recovery?
nothingbettertodoatm please guess...
I guess yachts = money, and nutrition issues = poverty. Thus all yachties need to have a sense of guilt, repent and not sail again .....
Erik Grobbelaar most of these island economies rely on sailing tourism, a lot of the boats that were destroyed were maintained by local companies and people. So not only have their homes been destroyed but their livelihoods have been too.
Roman Bourquin still no idea what you are trying to get at with your Wikipedia statics on child malnutrition?
1st world yacht rich probs, I lost my yacht!
where's the fucking o i
Poor rich people....where can I donate?
Caged hahah I love it
donate to all the people that were employed by the "poor rich people." that no longer have business to run, or jobs to go to because all the docks and restaurants and hotels have been destroyed. It isn't the rich people that are devastated.
krionic go create your own job stop waiting for crooks to pay you

Music is out of place. Also, they should remove all the fuel and oil from the boats and make a reef with them.
That is a lot of scrap fiberglass .

So what
Anybody want to buy a blow boat? Cheap!!!!
That's why people don't move their boats. So they can get new boats from the insurance company.
w23857980 most boat insurance companies won't pay out for a hurricane at this time of of year
w23857980 insurance never covers named storm loses. Houses same problem .
