Ooooohhh man I know how that feels having grown up in the Caribbean and been crushed by every hurricane in the last 30 years. These storms just keep getting bigger and stronger. Stay strong peeps and help others all you can. I've rebuilt through 10 storms in the last 20 years and all it does is make us stronger. ❤
The monohull @1:12 still has the bimini/dodger still in place. The sails were not removed or lashed to the boom. It appears there was no storm prep at all.
wow, all look in good condition, still have covers and sails with little damage, mainly dragged their mooring. Would imagine the insurance companies will be taking legal action against the companies that set the moorings
to me, those boats looked surprisingly intact... don't know how serious the damage we cannot see is, but, they look to be upright & in a positions much like when a tide comes out of a European marine.. I am especially thinking in the northern UK... it's a sandy beach & they really do not look like grounded at speed & out of control. no snapped rigging or such.
Mooring gear fail. You see the anchors stowed on most of them, meaning they were on a mooring. I might stay on a mooring, for a hurricane, but I would sure have my anchors out, too.
@@hughmaxwell8143 That's true. But, when we were cruising, I was shocked at the number of people who would hook their boats to a mooring ball without inspecting it or the gears it was hooked to at all, then jump in their dinghy, and go ashore.
spotted one with absolutely no hurricane prep whatsoever - people need to take these storms seriously. The unmistakable sight of horizontal wind ripping all flora fauna and rooftops from structures. The blood curdling sound of screaming wind that sounds like an army of banshees...Not for the feint of heart. And yes I've experienced three. Never again. But some people may use the hurricane as an opportunity to do an insurance job on a boat. Or at least that's what the insurance companies will assess.
Real sailors know to either pull it from the water, or stay aboard and deal with anchors and such. Nobody takes any real preparations for a known storm, that is causing higher insurance costs, and is just irresponsible in my opinion Once you see how much goes into a vessel, time and money, like Tally Ho for instance seven year build, hundreds of thousands of dollars for materials and labor,. People that just buy a vessel have no pride at all.
Many boats went further south to Trinidad. why not all of them? Unless the owners won’t around? Hurricane season preparedness were in effect with some time to get out..
J 1.10 this is contest 40 j have the same boat for very long time, it s very strong boat j not think it s big problem for him. Only if he go in the rock.
