Roaring Forties 

The part I think people often forget is that this is 24 hrs a day too, when you are getting overtaken and shipping that much water by a following sea in pitch darkness you get all my respect. I just don’t think I want to be that wet that long. True sailors there.

from experience the camera in no way can express the magnitude of real weather like that. Fantastic .

Ship made of wood, crew made of steel !

Das Schiff wird von der See überrollt. Die Wellen steigen von hinten und auch seitlich ins Boot ein. Schon beängstigend, hoffentlich läuft das Wasser vom Boot ab und dringt nicht unter Deck ein. Aber die Dagmar hat es ja geschafft, die Zone zu durchqueren. Beeindruckende Aufnahmen. Das Schiff kämpft mit der See und geht als Sieger hervor. Eine gute Konstruktion und gute Seemannschaft machen es möglich. Danke Arved!

Gentlemen you have my respect

My wife sailed around the southern ocean in 2008 on a 39’ light displacement sloop. It was hideous lol. But she got some great stories.

Love watching these videos from my recliner.

Wow!!! I subscribe. I’m land locked, to me this like something from another world!! Thank you, please post more.

Looks more like the deck of a submarine! Surfing breaking waves in the open ocean gets my attention any day!! Respect...

The ocean , furious though it may be , remains a fascinating and beautiful world. Vielen danke.

Great work! I'm trying to imagine standing at the helm and a wave breaks over your head from behind....

This is VERY impressive, especially when you know that waves look much smaller in a video....

one can clearly observe here that the combined mass of this crews testicles of iron add to the ballast to keep this yacht on an even keel and upright. respect. love the wild seas.

Wow. That is sailing 👍

Respect 👊

I don't think anyone on board will forget that adventure.

Holding my breath throughout the video. Brave men.

Who needs a jacuzzi. You're sailing in one. WOW! That is some intense sailing for sure. Thank for sharing.

Absolutely Amazing

I admire the courage of these Mariners. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Tha's what i call sailing! Love it all the way... Thanks, Arved Fuchs!

Magnifique!

This is the kind of journey you tell stories about decades later!

Unbelievable !! Balls of steel!!!! Modern day Vikings!!!!

Dude ,,,,,,,,, full on stuff ! Take my hat off to you and your crew ! You guys have balls that Klang !

A good, tight boat and a smart seasoned crew can take on just about anything the sea can dish out to them. Great video!!

Wow. That is great footage. Had to get my Dramamine out! Thanks for the ride. 💖💖hope all on board are safe and warm at home 🏡

Holy cow this is stunning... and to keep the camera running!! Hats off to you all.

Geil, diese Bilder - einfach nur Geil!!! Bitte mehr davon!!! Grüße aus Berlin

I felt cold and in need of a hot coffee after watching that 😳

Man, you guys are crazy!

Classic, epic and brave. Big balls for ballast!! 👌

Beautiful real adventure. My deepest respect

Ah, another lovely day in the southern ocean.

Woah! Great footage.

That is crazy....that first wave is enough to rip the rudder off of 50% (If not more) of production sailboats.....much respect.

Insane. Can't believe they made it.

Absolutely awesome⛵️

OMG!! This video should have 30,000,000 views!!

Great video!

FORTALEZA A PRUEBA,....

Must have Viking blood running thru those veins. Much respect!!!!!

Gaff rig schooner or submarine? Could not tell.

Sehr schönes Boot!

GOOD FOOTAGE GREAT ENDURANCE......

Insane! respect

Great video. What a fantastic thrill this would be. I'd love to do that.

Please upload MORE. Awesome

Those are some balls & real seas! I hope you have a serious bilge on her. Very cool video!

what a ship!

those scuppers are way too small...you broadsided that wave at 1:20 because of the free surface ballastwater on deck.Anywho as you posted the video you made it, congrats, awsome sailing!

I've been in those conditions, but never in such a small craft. Unthinkable.

Respekt!

Dude ! Now that's living.

These guys have some skills :)

A pleasant day’s sailing 😬😳⚓️

Holy shit. Those are some crazy seas!

Fantastic as well as fantastically frightening. Given I'd have jumped at the chance to do this when I was younger, I know for sure I am officially old now. It's not so much the fear but the absolute certainty I would not survive this even if the ship does. As the saying goes, 'where there's no will, there's no way José' for me.

Great video.. but I prefer the natural sound of sea water over background music.

That's what sailing is about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my great grandfather..able bodied seaman Frederick Marshall SAILED them 12 times...both ways..on the Cutty Sark...until he was 54

Awesome.

I flew over that going to Vostok station, waves looked huge from 12,000ft up

Pooped by a following sea. I’m sure someone could calculate the tonnage of water on the deck. It must have been utterly terrifying.

Looks like fun times to this Sailor.

Hallo Arved Fuchs, ist es möglich dich bzgl. dieses Videos zu kontaktieren (z.B. via Email)? Wir würden gerne eine Lizenz zur Nutzung deines Videos erwerben, sofern soetwas grundsätzlich möglich ist? Viele Grüße, Felix :)

Crazy to think the Shackelton and crew sailed similar seas in a boat 1/5th the size of this boat. Amazing sailing no matter the ships size. I was ready to hurl 20 seconds in.

I’ve always thought “how about could the horn really be?” Now I understand 🙏

Wow

Demasiado pesado. Demasiada resistencia, para no romper, robustez, ello implica más peso, y así en el círculo vicioso que agota y arruina a los hombres y materiales...

I would have pissed my pants. Definitely Respect boys

you also have my respect....

👍

Excellent video! Looks like a fantastic voyage, but man can those offshore legs get long.

Imagine what the Furious Fifties are like?

video make me feel like on real, like I'm with you. very exciting

Pump, Sven, pump!

Surfs up!

Hay que tener coraje para navegar con ese barquito por ese mar.

Crazy!!

I would be so seasick! Watching the video almost made me seasick.

witch monts is it ?

Literally High Sea Adventure.

looks like a lot of fun :-(

Seems like a sturdy and well founded yacht but why have the dingy on the Davits with big following seas? Kudos to the crew for weathering the passage.

‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat’

Pretty swirly! Best way to keep the deck clean, amirite?

👏👏👏👏...

Was it dry below ? ? Doubt it LOL.................

Is that a wooden submarine? lol brave men!

Hypnotic

English translation (Google) : "The Roaring Forties is the region of west wind drift between 40 and 50 degrees south latitude. These winds provide unstable weather, rain and high seas. The "Dagmar Aaen" has made acquaintance with these Roaring Forties on their way from Ushuaia to Piriápolis (Uruguay)."

Thanks for no showing us what the boat looks like.

One of the wettest boats I ever seen in my life. Why are you allowing beam on waves?

Would any water get inside the boat

So courageous sailors, they are not afraid of giant waves.

Swsome!!

Armchair sailor here - would it be better if you had a little more sail up to make the boat go faster ? It would assist the steering and reduce pooping and broaching by following waves. Speed is important in conditions like that. Im asking for my own benefit not being critical. I know the wind is already strong but i tjink too much water is coming on deck.

Imagine trying to keep the camera that stable in such rough seas. Either they have a tripod, or some really sturdy sea legs.

How could it possibly be dry below deck
