Let's hit every wave! Haulover Inlet

[@desertr4062]

Nothing says 'rookie' more than leaving your fenders out to smash against your boat while underway.

[@ragnarlothbrok9133]

That’s a signature of Haulover. So many boats leave their fenders out to slap the hull over and over.

[@dmwi1549]

Was looking for this comment. Did that guy even stay out an hour? 1 hour out and back. 4 hours cleaning off the salt spray…

[@deeturner1547]

Right🤨. First lesson my husband taught me and I ‘m the rookiest of all.

[@sailorman8590]

Surprised the fenders didn’t go right through the portholes!

[@mikehermesmeglio]

And then there's the boats with lines dragging in the water

[@djs3484]

That first boat wasn't defeated, he was smart.

[@JonBecker81]

He saw the drone and was like “hell no I’m not about to be on KZbin.”

[@jeremyrowley1240]

Therefore he didn't hit every wave and shouldn't have made it onto the video.

[@SPCLPONY]

Grandma says No!... was smart!

[@martinshepherd9034]

Could he not have followed the bigger boat in ?

[@ashbucharon8263]

Haulover inlet, it's simple, no big deal: 1) go out along the sides, not the middle. 2) Any inlet - when coming back in stay just behind the wave, do not go surfing in front of it. 55 years going out of Haulover and Government cut, from 13' Whaler to 67' sailboat and everything inbetween.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

08:01 has the best tactic. Well done. We're hoping to get Thunder Child 2 through there later this year

[@Infernal_Elf]

Is Thunderchild 2 going to Haulover and the USA?

[@cliffrybick4178]

That big boat has some very impressive stabilizers. Those gyros are working overtime not just to minimize rolling but also to reduce pitching.

[@bowdenthegamer1046]

[@connor8558]

What’s the gyros?

[@cliffrybick4178]

@@connor8558 Gyroscopic stabilizers that are inside the boat, not external fins. They can work impressively well.

[@kevinfunk83]

Probably fins. The bigger yacht shown after it had no stabilization on board.

[@aidsface]

Doubt it

[@joeordinary209]

What happens in 5:38 can be really dangerous. The yacht is loosing partly flotation in the middle of the hull(due to the "hole" between the wave tips) therefore also stability, actually its possible to capsize a ship due to this. Stability calculation usually dont take this into considering but are calculated basis the entire hull is surrounded with water. This hull has also probably a pretty low GM as is. The problem here is that the Yacht traveled at a speed close to the speed of the wave, prolonging the bad situation. Can assure You guys the that one was much worse from the inside than it looked form the drone. That master will sure be a bit more careful in the future, that's for sure!

[@MrSamueljcat]

Parametric Roll. A hairs breadth away from capsize there.

[@XSAILOR65]

@@MrSamueljcat yes, som older design RoRo vessels were prone to this phenomena.

[@TheHellfighter1111]

What do you need to? Be faster than the wave or slower?

[@joeordinary209]

@@TheHellfighter1111 Good question. Usually increasing the angle relative to wave direction helps, but probably not possible in that spot.. it looks like they used pretty much speed( possible aware of the issue), but in this case not much help. General rule is to avoid sailing in such conditions, again that can be a though call. I would make sure that all bunker and FW tanks are full, increasing the stability, as also pay special attention to ensure personnel and stuff onboard are "prepared" for potential violent movement. Looking at the video , this was only kind of initial stages of Parametric Rolling, but luckily the condition lasted only for limited distance, a couple of more of those rolls things could have ended very bad.

[@realulli]

I wouldn't want to clean up the mess inside afterwards... And yes, I also think this was closer to a capsize than I'd want to come as a skipper...

[@JohnRyan-gr8bs]

It is astounding that a man smart enough to buy Big Girl doesn't know enough to take in and store his fenders

[@TruthOverLies]

It’s his boat.

[@markomarten]

If you buy a boat it’s worth learning about what it can or cannot do.Knowing the conditions ahead before you set out is important so that comes down to planning as does catching or missing the tide. You can have lots of money but at sea you have to show it respect and know what to do, that comes with experience and taking time to obtain knowledge. The sea can be a great environment but it can also be very unforgiving and dangerous too. Like a lot of things you get out what you put in.

[@Dani-it5sy]

5:22 Must be a rented boat with these fenders hanging out slamming in to the hull. That is screaming amateur so hard it is deafening 😜

finally someone did what i've been saying for years: cut sharply north on a fast outgoing and you skip 95% of the bs. Doesnt take rocket science, and i suspect that was a true local being smart.

If that’s a stressful situation, your not qualified/experienced to be out in those conditions. That inlet is considered a normal day out for many around the world. I know teenagers who have the confidence and capabilities to get past that inlet first attempt. Knowing your limits and seeking the correct training is common sense.

That "Big Girl" with the swinging fenders @0:50 is obviously crewed by landlubbers. Take your fenders in!!!!!

[@kenh9508]

That big yacht got lucky for sure. A couple more seconds at that angle and the engines could have lost oil pressure and tripped a failsafe shutting them off. Not the place to be dead in the water and having to run down to the engine room to reset the failsafe.

Man that Grady-White rolled over the crest of 5 waves entering the inlet at 7:30 , it seems that the fishermen with a ton of rods walk back the throttle and the day-boaters with no rods go full.

[@PennWolfsSailingAdventures]

Haul over really isn't that bad, it just takes mostly patience and a person good at reading waves who knows their vessel, mostly it's like captaining a sailboat or a tug, you don't have the excessive speed so you learn how to just make way pushing ahead and how to use what you have. Most just try to hammer through it so it gets entertaining.

[@deanhostetter5040]

At around 6:26 the blue and white with triples. We were there that day and got a video of that. Small world. Took my daughter by to see Haulover before we went to the airport to head back to Virginia. Cool

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

When i worked at a marina, i met some cool as captains. The boat owners were usually not as cool, some were, but captains always had that cool demeaner about them. Talking about the 65-90 foot yachts, which is what our yard had mostly. and sail boats.

[@pookatim]

Not sure but it seems these large yachts are just below the size where a captain's license is required. Clearly, they are not being skippered by professionals. One has his fenders still deployed and the other has his fenders laying on the deck instead of stowed and an unsecured deck locker. Armature hour.

[@johnmoreton459]

Big Girl should require a certified captain, not enough power coming out of Haulover, a large wave stopped the forward motion, bumpers not stowed. Small craft coming in, almost broached but recovered, always use enough power and speed. Large vessel coming in not enough speed and then the roll, very steep roll about 20%. Several smaller boats with to small a motor for the vessel.

The ‘big girl’ at the beginning was driven out of the inlet beautifully… but had a bit of a shocker on the way back in. Wonder if it’s stabilised?

[@jeremyrowley1240]

i think it was a wave length thing. One peak at the bow and t'other at the stern, and coming back with the waves not against them which effectively shortens the wave length.

[@NZL50505]

@@jeremyrowley1240 I think you mean the other way around. Going into the waves effectively shortens the wavelength as they pass by quicker. But running with them effectively lengthens them because you spend longer sitting between the peaks. And if your boat speed matches the wave speed exactly you stay where you are relative to it ie it becomes an endless wave!

[@joshtavenner3073]

Not necessarily one right answer for all situations. Often location specific. Generally speaking though you want the boat trimmed enough to keep bow up and then really about timing waves you want to kind of ride the wave and not fall off back or come over front too quickly that you bury the bow in the next. For this specifically Inlet while I have no experience there watching the couple of boats that knew what they were doing if possible hugging the jetty on that one side and making the turn once your past is best tactic to limit exposure to the rollers.
