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]

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

[@mikehermesmeglio]

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

[@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.

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?

[@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.

[@michaelheitzmann746]

Always enjoy this channel! Great drone work! 🤙🏼

[@chrispowell6992]

Best Haulover channel. Wish you did more!!😊

[@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...

[@DoyleHargraves]

I can't help but imagine that the drone flying 50' off your bow can be a massive distraction during what can be a stressful situation.

[@andyp91]

Lol,, well I'd be a lot more worried about the distractions on the road .... driving a big boat through Haulover isn't risking life and limb at every moment.

[@DoyleHargraves]

@@andyp91 in the wrong size boat, it is. Lol

[@captjim11]

No distraction at all.

[@riamriam6758]

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.

[@DoyleHargraves]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

How should you navigate waters like this safely? Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can learn this please.

[@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.

[@quimt.6440]

Buen spot para probar el pantoque.

[@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.

[@rski1036]

If my Captain ever left fenders out he would be replaced.
