Let's hit every wave! Haulover Inlet

Boats bow stuffing straight down the middle of the Haulover inlet and hit every wave head on! The best line in and out of Haulover is on the edges of the inlet, you will avoid the big waves caused by the strong current in the middle

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]

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.

[@martinshepherd9034]

Could he not have followed the bigger boat in ?

[@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.

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

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?

[@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...

[@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.

Grandma is the smartest one of the bunch.

[@Ash-cy7yw]

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@tracksofnyc]

I'll tell you, that Inlet is crazy, the best Captain around could easily get in trouble. I'd likewise the biggest Schlubb to ever run a boat could Escape unscathed.

[@drawgameer0]

OK so I don't live in Florida, I have never been to Haulover, but I enjoy watching these videos and have seen a bunch. All of my boating is on Lake Ontario so a bit less aggressive on most days. What I have noticed is that for some reason people want to just bang it out of the inlet right down the middle but is seems like there is much calmer water near to the jetty (not that the bigger vessels can take advantage) but for someone like me in a 21' sea pro with 150hp Yamaha that is the way I would go if I could. Enlighten me please.

The fenders out are a clear sign the big vessel is not professionally crewed, but rather the owner is at the helm.

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!
