On the plus side, still an interesting film. What people go through to do that event, is amazing. To have to shelter for your life in a tiny cabin for days on end, we can't imagine how tough that must be. Hats off to all the participants.

[@dhull5060]

to see a grown man cry like that. .... damn it meant so much to him.

+D hull: I'm think'n that anybody who is not ready to accept that he might die in such an adventure really has no business out there.

[@3down55]

lol you comment everywhere yet you would be one of the guys that just sit on the couch is overweight and doesnt do shit for living.

[@crikeymos22]

Horace Hogsnort I have to agree to be honest.

[@DHU11]

Horace Hogsnort I’m sure people go out there accepting they could potentially die, yeah of course but when you’re out there feeling like that is truly it for you obviously it’ll be scary and upsetting even if you have accepted it was a possibility

[@ibroadan4472]

respect for this men.

[@TheSinisterElf]

to bad you could not incorporate the oar locks to pump water through filter as you row , I think its a million dollar idea , you would not have to rely on a battery and you would be killing 2 birds with one stone

[@987946216430]

Row 2 recovery couldn't understand why they weren't keeping pace with the polo boys... their oars weren't in the water half the time. That was an unbelievable challenge even to start let alone for those able to finish! congrats all..

[@dianedesaintpierre5785]

wow...impressive...

[@YnseSchaap]

Row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily what the hell was I thinking

[@adventureshe]

Disappointed that only the male teams were featured. In this day and age, surely women should be featured too, after all, there were women in the race.

[@antiguabarbuda]

Good stuff. +teamantugua will be there in a year.

[@IainInLondon]

27:30 I wonder if you could connect the water maker pump handle the oars, so as you row, it makes fresh water...

[@TheNightWatcher1385]

Probably could. Though it would add some weight to the pull.

[@JS-qg1ie]

Do these have some kind of auto bearing rudder or are they hand steered on the rudder or just with the oars?

[@xcreeseseater38]

i do not see any wind vane steering system or drogue system on these, so it makes me think they are steering as I've hear of a team that rowed for 4 hours with only their left oars but honestly that seems nuts to me. They would have to constantly be on the electronics to see if they were on heading i guess, or they get set on magnetic heading and they just stay on that for 4 hours or so and check the electronics every shift change? Idk but that seems probable to me.

[@stevemazz3121]

I have to agree with so many others here.... WHY are don't these folks have a better tether system to keep them in the boat? WHY is it these folks don't keep their vessel water tight whether above board or below deck? I am personally surprised the two systems you need, the electronics and the water maker, were no in water tight compartments with easy access to make any repairs needed. I was also surprised to hear sailors state they did not understand how all their systems worked and were unable to even try and repair a problem.....

[@stevemazz3121]

Also, it was hard to enjoy the video with them always making every move sound tragic.

[@svcooperdude4410]

why don't they use wind vanes?

[@stevemazz3121]

All operations are to be done manually. By hand.

[@JS-qg1ie]

They’re not even allowed to string up their pants to dry as it’s classed as a sail.

[@jerzyrybak5855]

👌👍😊

Have any of those people ever heard of SEAT BELTS?!!

[@gilbert6578]

+Walter Strong you have never rowed now have you?

[@JediAnne]

+Walter Strong Funny how KZbin is so big and yet in 2 days I've come across your condescending comments (Ben Fogle). You are one negative person! I bet you wouldn't do an inch of what these guys were able to do.

[@finlaybeaton2124]

No, rather than going out an achieving anything himself, it seems like Walter is more comfortable standing in the shadows making snide comments

[@TheSinisterElf]

seat belts would trap you under water if the boat did not right itself , the have safety lines

[@JS-qg1ie]

21:56 they have harnesses.
