There are three things I learned from this experience: 1) Stuffing things into a hull breech really does work. 2) Having a big mechanical and electric crash pump onboard is a really good idea. 3) I have affirmed my love affair with a skegged rudder! Have any of you had a similar experience, if so what worked for you? Finally have you ever put any thought into how you would handle a situation like this if it was your boat? Fair winds and thanks for watching- Capt. Brian

Hey, I am wondering why you didn't use the epoxy putty? It's mentioned that it was old. Is that why? But then perhaps the putty arrived after most of the cloth had been stuffed into the "cracks" and wasn't really needed. I'd be nice to know if it could have been a good solution. Likely it wouldn't be a good solution for a gaping hole, but a fracture or crack could probably be filled.
@svdelos5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, we were afraid that we would make the repair difficult later one, in getting the rags out if we used the epoxy so really tried to slow down the water without. We also considered that if the salvage team for any reason wanted to move the rudder before towing her this could make that even more difficult because that stuff sticks, well like epoxy! But in other circumstances I think everyone should have some of that goop onboard :) . Brian

This is an excellent eye opener for anyone who would ever consider purchasing (or designing) a boat with an unprotected rudder on anything larger than a dingy. The folks chartering the cat did nothing wrong to cause this unless the obstruction they hit was charted. This appears to be one of those "shit happens" situations that no one can predict but one should always be prepared for. Be prepared not only if it happens to you, but also if you are close by when it happens to someone else!

Sailing Beau and Brandy had a hull breach (crack in bow) transiting PR to Grenada (about 75 NM from Grenada). After stuffing towels in crack and going overboard to examine breach they ended up calling a Mayday. With help from a small fishing boat’s stash of underwater epoxy they were able to make port and haul out for repair. Their take on it was on the absolute need for an excellent crash pump and underwater epoxy though stuffing towels in crack certainly slowed water flow and bought them time.

I think it was Lloyds but some insurance company released the number one reason for yachts in general taking on water and you guessed it rudder damage. I think cat manufacturers recognize this as many today and I believe this one you helped out have water tight bulkheads sealing off the rest of the hull. On Delos you have bulkheads sealing off your engine room and I'm guessing any damage to your rudder would be confined to that space. I think I've heard of people removing their raw water intakes from through hulls effectively using the engine as a bilge pump. All that aside I just admire the way you guys react to calamity with no panic as you dive in and get the latest problem sorted. All in a days work.

@blackknight85965 жыл бұрын
I like the trick with the raw water intake - you know, a pre-installed two-way valve and a pipe already run into the bilge with a mesh pre-filter (to stop any debris being sucked into the engine) could save valuable minutes rigging something up in an emergency, just start engine and switch the valve to the bilge position......
@ericsmedstad11755 жыл бұрын
This is a common approach on Navy or govt subsidized ready reserve ships. This was especially true of steam ships of WW2 -Vietnam era where the condenser circulation pump had an emergency bilge suction. We're talking a 36" pipe moving about 3000 gpm (11 cubic meters per minute). That never used valve would take you at least 30 minutes to open if you could open it. It's probably more practical on a smaller vessel of this size, but don't forget the check valve and perhaps a lock or it may become a scuttling valve...

Not (yet) a sailor, but I've been a volunteer firefighter for about 10 years. Make a list of things, that can possibly happen (hull breach, loss of mast, fire, MOB, etc.), and than make a plan, how you plan to react, what do you need to do, what tools do you need. Step by step. Then try out how your plan works, go through the motions, see if your plan works (e.g. are the tools stored in a useful position, or do you need to empty 5 drawers), refine the plan. And train this plan regulary, so that you can develop a routine. Yes reality is always different, but it really helps, knowing that you know, what you have to do. Work fast, but not too fast. When you wake up at 2 am with the alarm ringing, your heart beating, your body full of adrenaline, take a few long slow breath. Hope this can be helpful, stay safe :) P.S.: Been a viewer for about two years, thank you for showing me, that my dream of sailing the world is actually something realistic, hope to see you on the water sometime in the future.

Awesome video guys... Pretty sure that what you did with towels is known as "fothering", something I first learned about as a pre-teen, reading one of the "Adventure" series of books written by Willard Price way back in the 1960s. Apparently, back in the day, sailing vessels that hit rocks or a reef or developed a leak like this would use deck tar to help with the seal. They would use something like sail cloth, but before taking it over the side to cover the damage, they would smear hot tar over the cloth. Then, when that material was placed on the hull, the stickiness of the tar would help it stay in place and make a good seal.

Great execution with all that you had on board. Great ideas passed on by many others, will try to remember them if I have the same problem.
