Great footage, the sea can be such a terrifying place, especially in rough water like this, the trouble is if you get into trouble, I mean serious trouble, no one can really help and a life jacket just means you take longer to drown! So many millions of sailors have been taken by the sea, often in the most frightening circumstances. I have huge respect for those grain traders who regularly rounded cape horn 100 years ago, time and time again, they really were supermen!

I just finished reading "Voyage" by Sterling Hayden (have read his autobiography "Wanderer" as well), and so I was keen to see a ship in rough weather and to imagine myself there. I'll never see my job as being hard ever again.

Like for others, for me this is not a serious F8. But she's running well against it. I would like to have been there! As Unlimited Mate I've been through a North Atlantic periferal Force 12 on a 95ft beam trawler accompanied by a British frigate when we were too far out in the North Atlantic to get home in time. We lost sight of each other. The wind flattened the sea and the resultant 15 meters of flying water blotted out visibility and all electronic and communication equipment. The merciless shrieking sound of the wind penetrated our bodies, and even the ship vibrated with it. We couldn't sleep. This was not much fun. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me on this trip.

heavy weather? not bad but there is some fool out there with exposed feet in sandals just waiting for something heavy to be washed up on his toes.. It may be comfy but it is not smart.. he could lose a toe that way.. Ah perfect sailing weather no rain a stiff wind.. yes sir perfect... I miss the sea... I would have liked a bit more beam in her though... She looks like a gallant lady that.. sturdy and sleek.. from what I saw of her probably a real beaut... thanks for the long ago memories.. raise you head lad it is a proud tradition you are involved with here....

Sailed on her in '09. Went to sea to SEE the sea, wanted to see real 'greeners'. Alas, the skipper kept us so far out of harm's way I saw little. This is force 8 - gale - NOT storm force 9 or 10. It is pretty tame as the crew are on deck! Its still a great ship though.

What’s funny is just how ridiculous it all is and in reality it’s all about perspective, whilst we see it as a big wave you can never understand the true scale unless you’re standing next to it, the same could be said about say, a building or even a vehicle such as a space shuttle and its launcher vehicle, or a massive excavator where unless you’re next to it, you don’t realize the scale of the objects

The beam looks very narrow in this vessel and she looks sluggish, This isn't rough seas, This is what we would call a lazy roll on the West Coast of Ireland, The 36 foot clinker built larch on oak ribs were probably the best sea boats for their size, Fishing and Drift netting for the migrating Atlantic Salmon in force 8 &9 was not uncommon, This is a calm day,
@vincent75208 жыл бұрын
To me it's certainly a force 8… Force 10 I have strong doubts as I have been caught on a force 9 in the North Sea in a 38ft sail boat in sept 1980 and still remember it … Therefore force 10 no, except in gusts maybe. Certainly not a force 11 : the sea foams on all crests, spumes of water fly from the wave crests and fly almost horizontally bloating the view … But then again it is so difficult to asses the sea and wind state from a video or phot. Beautiful footage though, and very nice vessel. Like the comments I would love to sail on this ship.

+Fumingzeus I totally agree … I would even lower my estimation : rather a force 7plus/plus … I was once in a force 9 in the North sea on a 35ft sailboat with 4 crew members (including me, that is), lasted two days. Got out all right, but … I wouldn't try my luck again !!… Force 12 … I'm sure you were terrified ! … On what kind of boat / ship were you ?…

@vincent75207 жыл бұрын
so ?… Boats are certainly not comparable … the seas are. We're talking about the sea state, not boats. At any rate a boat in a force 10, any boat, doesn't carry as much canvas : most likely it would turn to shreds…
