I sailed in a storm with similar wind speeds and boat speeds, also in a catamaran, while crossing the Atlantic. And yes, during the storm we had life jackets on! Normally, we would only wear them during nightwatch when you're on the boat deck alone. But during the storm we wore them all the time, even in the salon, because things can start to go wrong very quickly! Sailing life jackets are very low profile because they inflate with a CO2 cartridge when you hit the water. So they're not hard to wear. It's careless to not wear them in those conditions.

Yes B&G..... 🤔

Nice very Nice sailing Episode....

Nice project

Good for MM group

Great Circle Hair Styling Saloon 😂👍🏼

Did that kinetic lost his entire crossbeam? 😮

The Boat is for sale ?

You don't have to know much physics to realise that the load on a catamaran's rigging is enormous! On a monohull, the boat heels and takes the strain off the rig by spilling wind (most failures on monos are backstays because the boat is not 'giving' when going downwind). On a cat it doesn't. All of the 'power' of the wind is bourne by the rig. You should design for 4x the loading. The huge sails on modern day cats make this imperative. I'm 99% sure the other failed cat in this video was completely under-designed and they certainly didn't hit anything. If they had hit a container, the whole boat would have suffered considerable hull and structure damage. Finally, don't use Dyneema for anything essential, especially not lower shrouds or lifelines! Only treat it as temporary, as was done here on the furler adapter. To see lifelines on HH (and others?) using Dyneema scares me to death. It'll be weakened by half within a year when out in mid-latitude UV rays! You should look at no more than a 3 year typical lifespan.

Was this the furler that was on the boat when the front beam was hit? I can't remember if you changed it or not. I do hope they take the part off and get it tested though, would be interested to know how the failure happened. I'm not sure it would be bad metal, I wonder if it isn't some other kind of fatigue related failure. Good to know though all are safe, although not well.. damn covid... Cheers for the vid

I recommend carrying several tension belts with ratchets as emergency spares(Spanngurte in German). There´s always an issue with space and weight on board, but these things can really save your day.

Stainless steel 316 or class a4 .. not being treated properly. Bigger production, Cheaper stuff , Ess furrow design & spec. quality gone. It’s ok if oversized but that’s not case. Bad rigger, bad supplier bad design.

More and more I am seeing metal break from normal use. Metal fatigue happens when cheap metal is used. They try and save money by using what they think barely covers the load and this is why you always oversize your rigging components and cables.

😀😀👍👍❤❤

The question is: Is this acceptable on a catamaran of this price? Imagine the cost of loosing your mast and for what.....to save a few bucks!

So schön, wenn ihr deutsch sprecht :)

Very well done. Outremer owes you a very big thank you. Dyneema is great on short lengt. It has no stretch but it does have something called creep. Meaning it stretches about 2 % without coming back when the load is released. When it is fully stretched it becomes round and hard cause the stretch is in the weaving not in the fibers itself. So use it wisely 👍👍

Replace them all....

Lucky You!! Good karma!

Mark, how far out do you think you are in ending the cruise? You’re getting close.

In Portugal in general and the Azores in particular, you breathe calm, goodness, well-being. Everything that should be: humanity. Mark, your music accompanies it perfectly.

Spannend, goed gedaan en mazzel 😊

Loved it. You’re just te best with the incredible footage. Wish You well❤

Interesting the reef wasn't on the map .Shows how easy this kind of thing can happen .

Thank you for your nice ocean crossing, and tips, it's always a pleasure to watch your sailing channel.

We don't want to be over.😔 You are so inspiring, guys!

Hi Mark and Marijke, I heard in this video that you are going to build a home! That is exciting, but I also realize your two year long cruise is coming to an end. We have followed your adventures, and boy have they been top notch adventures, for several years, while we are not sailors, we love to travel, as you both do. My husband and I have sent your comments and questions many times, and you always answer so quickly and in an informative way. Your YT channel is probably the best one out there, your drone work, commentary and content is top notch. Will you be ending your YT channel once you are back on land? Your journey has been very inspiring, and you both make it look easy. Thank you, both, for the countless hours it takes to edit and give us such amazing quality videos with fabulous, smooth jazz…

hello, thanks for your videos, I have been following you since your departure. it helped me to wait until the delivery of our 4x which will be in 1 month …

Another excellent video, much enjoyed, thank you 👍😊❤️

Amazing video!!

Thanks for your video as usual. You are almost home. I noticed that you fly your dji phantom more often than the dji mini. Which drones do you prefer better?

How much do you depend on readings taken with a sextant?

Great video. Will you make a stop in Ireland?

When your circumnavigation is complete Is GreatCircle for sale?

Very good video again. 👍👍😀😀😀

Great video, cool meet up in mid Atlantic.

😎😎👍👍❤❤

I don’t want you to go back to Europe so fast. I’m afraid you will stop making videos. I think you should continue to travel the world but perhaps take it a little slower.

Those storms looked nasty some times

What are you plans now? I thought I saw a comment that Great Circle is for sale?

The Outremer is a much faster boat and once again the photography and videography is exceptional. That landscape by where you dropped the hook is beautiful. And since the rudders were changed out, has the boats performance changed at all

Congratulations on this fete. You have sailed approximately 31,087 miles in your circumnavigation. Maybe you can now relax a little bit more and just enjoy life, You have certainly earned it

Man, that food looked delicious

I do love the jazzy bluesy music you guys choose for the videos.

That rain squall looked bad, more rain and wind. Good time to get even wetter and wash the boat down....lol

The scenery was just stunning

Some of those Regatta boats looked to be quite fast.

Je suis toujours autant impressionné par la qualité de vos images; Bonne navigation ! 👍😀

The photography and videography on this channel is just exceptional if not the best on UA-cam

That looked like you all a hella good time at Carnival
