What I wrote about this posting on Facebook: Downwind sailing is a balancing act between keeping your nose out of the wave by turning upwind, and preventing broaching by turning back downwind. This video captures it: no matter the boat design, the greatest thrill is turning downwind off a reach to prevent a broach. When you're finally set neutral again, the boat is screaming fast into the next wave. [see 1:45 to 2:15 and 2:40 to 3:10] Now I've never sailed a yacht with a keel like this, but the technique is the same, and I will say (and Todd Haines can verify), it's actually harder to keep a scow's nose from submarining in waves than just about any boat out there. Why? It's shaped like a submarine. 🙂 AND, there's no keel to help keep you upright!!!!

you drift for a while till it comes back. Usually for around the world races you have wind almost all of the time from natural air currents from the motion of the Earth, but if you're around the equator or somewhere near land, wind can get light.

That said, there are whole novels written about mutinies when sailing ships got stuck for weeks in the "horse latitudes" (30 degrees north and south latitude) with no wind, Hadley high pressure cells with no wind between the trade winds and the westerlies. I've heard various etymologies for the term, but I think it's because they ate their horses if they had any aboard.
@Gottenhimfella Жыл бұрын
When strong winds which have been steadily increasing stop suddenly, the results can be very ugly: the waves will often steepen for a short while and may become somewhat disorganised. Luckily this is a rare scenario.

Repeating my post here from the main thread might get it deleted here / there, so see my comment on the main thread. In a nutshell, you have to shake every wave off of your bow (nose). To do that when running downwind, you alternate turning slightly upwind and then back downwind.
@Gottenhimfella Жыл бұрын
These boats (2nd generation Clipper) were somewhat difficult to control in a steep following sea. The forefoot (under the bow) tended to take a grip as the stern lifted and the boat had a slight predisposition to "broach" unless the helmsman had the boat in perfect balance at that moment. In reality, and for practical risk management reasons, the tendency is generally to be sailing a bit shy of the optimal dead downwind angle. This is because to be sailing *past* downwind, (ie "by the lee") by even the smallest margin, is to invite a crash gybe which can be very ugly. A keelboat which is shy of dead downwind is inescapably heeled as the stern is picked up by the wave, mainly due to the velocity gradient (with depth) on the face of the wave, and that heel projects the "centre of effort" of the sailplan out to leeward, so that the sail area acts on the rig like a wrench trying to screw the hull around on the face of the wave with the bow coming towards the wind.

The training is world class, and the boats are built very strong. You can have trust in that. The only recommendations I would give is that sleep fatigue is a real issue so tell him to practice always clipping on (with the safety tether) until it becomes automatic. And, when you're sleep fatigued, don't rush around on the boat and always try to think of the safest areas to move and stand. It's really a wonderful experience that will test his limits, and he will have memories of a lifetime and a new appreciation for what he is capable of in grueling circumstances.
