Thanks Jmc ✌️

SENSIBLE MOVE TO TURN BACK BOYS 👍. I LOVED THE ANCHOR CAM 😊🐟🐋🐙!!!. Take Care ! A

Really appreciate it. Was a tough day sailing ⛵💪👍⛵👌🤘

[@ArchaicHumansWorldwide]

Atlas is a strong boat. Having said that I admire the collective judgement you lads have developed. You've both become world-class sailors. Salute!

She is a tank. Really appreciate your kind words about our Sailing ⛵👌

[@johnnewman8412]

Discretion is ALWAYS the better part of valor and not taking needless risks separates the men from the boys, well done guys. Also, the anchor POV shot at the end was fantastic, you guys are turning into top-notch videographers as well as world-class sailors.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thank you so much John that is super super nice of you to say so really appreciate your words 🙏🙏

Brilliant anchor shot at the end!!! 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐠🐠

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Cheers Bruce ✌️✌️

[@CapeCodTrainTodd]

Wow that was rough sailing and when the boom shifted to starboard it turned the whole boat and that had to have been scary. I think those swarming birds were looking for a hand out of 2 Brothers BoatMade Bread. 😁 The camera on the anchor was a great shot and then the fish checking it out. 😄

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It was a pretty exhilarating days sailing which was totally unexpected. When the boom comes over it can shake the whole rig. Glad you like to the camera on the anchor ⚓✌️

[@eleutheros]

Awesome footage of the anchor going down! And, that looked like a tough sail. 👍🏼👍🏼

It was quite a challenging Day out 😆🤣🤣

[@johnlees1176]

Cheers Guys, Smart sailors know when to chuck a plan overboard & reach for plan ‘B’. Well done to you Guys; the application of knowledge & experience wins out for you again. Loved the video too.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thank you John that means a lot. It was disappointed not to reach our Anchorage but a fun exhilarating day was had ⛵

[@rickgordongordonellissteel3761]

This one had my heart racing guys. Mind you, Atlas seemed to take it all in her stride and your seamanship and decision making matched it. It reminded me of a passage we made many years ago from Plymouth to Alderney in strong winds and bouncy conditions. We dropped the sails and pointed to boat into Alderney harbour, straight into the oncoming waves. One wave lifted the boat out of the water with only the prop and rudder left in. The bow crashed down the others side, sending shudders throughout the entire boat. A hairy and memorable moment. Big seas are not to be underestimated.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

She really did do a very good job it was quite easy for her. That does sound like a memorable moment in time. The rough stuff always stays with you. It's amazing how strong yachts are 💪

[@stub3379]

Wow, quite a rough ride guys. Glad you were able to get back without much trouble. Loved the anchor footage at the end. Can't wait for the next video!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Pretty challenging day but Atlas smashed it! Always wanted to strap a GoPro to the anchor 🔱

[@rabsmcsporrin9572]

Ye I loved the camera on the anchor, absolutely brilliant, your filming is up there with the best

[@mqblues]

Nice work, men. Loved the rocking and rolling sailing shots and weighing anchor footage. The fish appeared to take it all in stride. Ha.

Really appreciate your feedback 👌 The fish was right in there eating what bits the anchor through up 😁

[@philgibbs5270]

Brisk and breezy is an understatement,that was some epic sailing ⛵️👏👏👏👏

Atlas pulled it off again 💪

[@mvlas4385]

The sailing brought back some memories., the waves from Nova Scotia to Bermuda.. epic sail.. Atlas is a tank! Good call to go back and lucky the genoa survived!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It was a little like the passage from Nova Scotia to Bermuda. Our Geny is getting old and losing its shape unfortunately 😔

[@markclifton14]

Guys you did well in those windy conditions . You made the right choice to turn around. Glad you got back safe . 👍

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It was the right decision as the Anchorage would have been horrendous. Glad we made it back safely to be honest 🙏

[@redwood1957]

So much for thinking😂. Great play by play of the high speed and wind sailing. I have read that those island birds smell fresh bread from miles away. Good decision on going back out.

Those are strangely high winds with moderate waves as it looks, but what a hell to cross against that kind of gale :o Atlas is an amazing boat, the should really consider rebuilding them!

[@grahamatsea3575]

Some great sailing there today , shame you had to turn back but once you realise the anchorage isn't going to be safe that's the only decision to take. The anchor cam was interesting.

Have to say, your vid production gets better and better. It's now big screen Sun evening viewing. You have genuine drama and the decision making (hairy conditions by the looks of it) and then the really cool anchor drop sequence. Superb. How did you do that without losing the camera? Brilliant stuff.

Thanks Dave 😁 People seem to be really enjoying this episode 👌

[@goofy4birds]

the fisherman probably share with them so when they see boats they check to see if there is a meal coming their way. But they say birds that visit you while off shore sailing they are angels of loved one long gone coming to check on you and pay you a visit. Sometime you get one that is exhausted, you need to let them rest and tend to their needs as best you can. This makes God smile when you take care of his children, and they may be an angel on a journey.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Yes they probably think we are a fishing boat. If it's true about left ones we had quite a few sailing across the Pacific 😁

[@philgray3443]

Looks like an engrossing experience. We have been spoilt by racing on a boat that doesn't reef until around 28 knots. Makes me forget when our old boat like yours would almost lie flat in 28 knots. Great sailing guys.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

I bet it's pretty cool to be on a racing boat. We tend to reef very early trying to keep the boat as comfortable as we can. Just don't want to break anything. We can sail her with a full mainsail up to 20 knots and she's right over 😁

[@philgray3443]

@@TheSailingBrothers We pray for 25+ because most boats start reefing before that. We just barrel along under full sail.

[@peterllewellyn8835]

Love Rival yachts. Used to charter them in my younger days. As a naval architect I would would only cross oceans in long, built in keel yachts, which have a high comfort factor rating, when you will sleep at night. These days I have an old Hans Christian, a design I can recommend if you ever upgrade.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

You are right they really are the best yachts. Modern yachts big and beautiful below deck however I wouldn't trust them out at sea with their flat bottom bolt on keel and Spade rudder

[@adriansayers7002]

Happened to me once - furling line let go in a sudden 40kt wind in Canaries acceleration zone, all hell broke loose and ripped the genoa. Fitted a clutch on the deck after that so I can jam it off!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

You can get quite a lot of wind through the islands in the canaries. That's a good idea fitting a clutch 👌

[@novocain13]

@@TheSailingBrothers The coolest I have seen in a long long while!😄

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

Well done guys, that looked pretty sporty! Regarding preventing your sails from flogging, that's absolutely correct so I wonder why you always seem to leave your mainsail "bunt" loose when you've reefed. A few reef ties would sort that out - or a stack pack.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

You are totally right about leaving the reefed sail to flog it's not healthy for the sail. We have recently started to tie it up properly. It was laziness 😔

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Pleasure 👌👌

[@jacktyler7599]

You videos bring back some good (and at times, challenging) memories. One suggestion, if you don't mind: You'll have at least one reef in your Rival's main frequently, and you'll find the nip of the reef's outhaul line (where it passes through the reef's clew) will 'wear' a bit, no matter how tight you draw back the clew's line. Chafe becomes inevitable. An option is to tie in your reef as normal and then pass a small piece of line thru that reef's clew and around the boom, then secure it tightly. At that point, release a bit of tension on the reef's outhaul. After that all the wear will develop on the scrap of small stuff that's holding the reef in place. Yes, it's another step...but it saves the whole reefing line from wear.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Really appreciate your advice we will give it to go for sure 😁 Thanks for the comments Jack ✌️

[@robcall5182]

Those birds must have spotted your Dairy Lea platter :) or they we're trying warn you to put your life jackets on in 30 knots. My blood pressure was racing seeing you without safety gear on.
