I think that the finest part of this was in your prelude, where you said, "...we decided to make this video, so that we could share what has worked for US; and through all of our research that we've done (omitting Charlie poop!), what we've learned and implemented." Outside of being bombed by Jeri, I applauded your complete honesty here. WHAT WORKED FOR YOU. Your experience, knowledge and what you do when in a storm situation, IN YOUR BOAT, is the best example for all of us to think about, so that we can tailor our storm awareness and procedures to fit ourselves and our boats individually. Thank you!!

Thank you. Great video. One addition I recommend: Practice. Sailers should practice Heaving To, Practice Reefing, Practice Deploying The Drogue, and Practice Deploying a Sea Anchor. Practicing in 5-10 knots of wind, can teach you a procedure that works for your boat. Once you have experience with a procedure, it’s easier to respond during a storm.

Well hi there you four! It’s Team Sailing Melody here. Would love to get our hands on this book as we are preparing for our own ocean adventures, as well you know. So here is our question. If you are on an anchorage with a reasonably good, sandy bottom and ok holding, and you know a BIG storm is coming in which you can not avoid, would you : 1. Put down one Oversized storm anchor on a bridle 2. Run out two bow anchors, like a spade and a fortress 3. Run out a stern kedge to hold the boat into the weather. 4. All of the above. Looking forward to hearing your live stream, we’ll give your live stream a shout out on our platform as well.

Your discussion is spot on for heavy displacement vessels and those boats with a longer keel. That said, for all those more modern boats with a high-aspect ratio keels and light displacement, using those older tactics (in particular heaving-to) can actually be really disastrous. In those modern style boats, it still overlaps with what you’re saying, but in short, maintaining forward headway and therefore control, is key. This may still rely on a drogue (sometimes just a long line or a long line with overhand knots every foot or two, which is easier to winch in than a cone version), but also the goal is to try to use the speed of the boat to your advantage in maintaining control running down swell. So not only is apparent wind force reduced, but also apparent force of breaking waves that you’re traveling with (surfing). Especially if you’re well practiced and have others onboard who can support, or a good auto-pilot that can steer well, 30-40 knots down wind and down swell can be a hoot of a good time (surfing boat speeds into the mid teens or even 20s on common boats). Much higher wind speeds than that, and just like everyone else, it’s no fun :-) Can’t find the full version any more on RU-vid, but here’s a good clip from a video that discusses tactics on modern boats: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_qUTd9588wE.html
@jcash1809
@jcash1809 2 года назад
The tactics are the same you just go to para anchor sooner because the keel fails to throw a slick. Headway brings you out into the shit. No no.
@davidbuckingham4766
@davidbuckingham4766 2 года назад
Heaving to in a modern yacht , especially a performance yacht with a narrow bulb keel and you tend to keep sailing, on a larger yacht fitting the trysail can be a mission and a strong third reef is a better option .
@shaneriehl223
@shaneriehl223 2 года назад
No one has ever been in a storm and said, “I wish I had a smaller boat”. It’s actually a funny saying the opposite way, that when you’re in a storm everyone usually wishes they had a bigger boat. If it’s too big to handle, then it’s too big, but 40-50 ft is a good size generally for double handing+.

Years ago, I began reading Lin Pardey's books, and I still believe Larry's book on the hull construction of a wooden boat is the best available (I wish he had gotten around to writing the second installment of completing the boat). The Pardey's also have a series of videos, including one on storm tactics, that I highly recommend. In those early years, when I had plans to build a sistership to Taleisin, I spent many hours on the phone with Lyle Hess and learned many things that work both for wooden boats and fiberglass boats. But I'm still learning (I'm 74), and I enjoy your videos and find them helpful both for the new information I find, and for the reminders of things my old brain may have forgotten. I haven't sailed in years, and now I'm looking for a Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender to "reimagine" for teaching my grandsons to sail on local lakes and in nearby coastal waters (not that I won't enjoy being back on the water). Keep your videos coming and thank you for the excellent information.

A great video as always. There is often a lot of disagreement about storm tactics, as you mentioned in your comments. I believe that this is partly attributable to the range of boats and crews that face storms at sea. Your boat, with its long keel has more in common with Seraffyn and Taleisin than most boats sold today. Not every boat will heave-to as well or leaves the same kind of slick. Most fin keeled boats ride better to a drogue off the stern. Also, a crewed boat may be able to forereach for days, while shorthanded crews need a more passive approach. I recommend Don Jordan's writings, as others have, as well as the Coast Guard's report from the late 80s. Victor Shane's drag device database contains many examples of what has worked, and what hasn't at sea.

Good advice guys. 50 years ago I was on a boat and we had a total knock down. Lesson learned, never give up. The boat floats. Forward motion means steerage.. Ok question for the Herbster, how much wear and tear does a synthetic front stay get from the hank on sail?
@danielt63
@danielt63 2 года назад
In John Kretschmer's "Sailing a Serious Ocean", he talks about forereaching as his preferred tactic "... similar to having-to except that the boat is moving forward..." Can you talk a bit about that? Is there a reason you didn't mention it in the video?
@robertcarducci3807

Have designed a new type of series drogue for modern sailboats. It is based on 9 chutes that look like the Burke drogue but are smaller. They are spaced out over a long distance. However, there is a retrieval line that goes through the center of all of them to the last drogue and finishes with a steel fitting that will collapse each chute when winched in. The idea is to winch the drogue in using the retrieval line. It causes each chute to collapse when the fitting arrives and then pulls the chute inside out, from back to front chute, as the fitting pulls the chutes inside out to a small profile. The idea is to decrease the drag to the surface drag of each chute as the fitting collapses each chute in sequence. When winched to the yacht, they appear like a jelly-fish with long tenticles. That eliminates the dreaded retrieval issue. As well, it allows for the adjustment of drag in 9 increments by winching in as much as preferred and then securing the retrieval line. I have a new design for a series parachute anchor as well with the same kind of configuration. All in the fabrication stage at the moment. Right now, I have ordered the book “Rescue in the Pacific”. Apparently, those survivors have some comments on what they would have for equipment next time. Having seen some of the video footage, it appears to be the ultimate case for design.

Thank you for sharing your experience with managing storms. I read 'Storm Tactics' Handbook by Lin & Larry Pardey too and cannot recommend it enough to anyone going to sea. I just like to add the most important caveat before all else which I believe to be true - know your boat. Tactics aside, how do your boat response with them and in what severity of storm and what kind of sea locality you are caught in. The only way to know is to put it to test in 'peace time' whenever a 'lesser' storm hits you so you know what would work or not. There are many other things to do, like getting hatches down asap, but I like to believe preparedness and seaworthiness of boat are two factors that cannot be stressed enough besides good seamanship. I do encourage boat owners to seriously think about having water-tight bulkheads. I like to think it is the best possible insurance for survival in the worse of storms that you can have for any boat. That truly is one big tick for preparedness and seaworthiness to my mind.

Hi guys, enjoyed your video about storm tactics, and in a fancy studio too! Here's my question... I am currently re-reading an old classic sailing book, Adrift, 76 Days Lost at Sea by Steven Callahan. In his amazing story his ultimate survival depended not just on his life raft, but also on the items in his grab bag and drifting into shipping lanes to find rescue. Do you have an abandon ship plan? Do you carry a liferaft, and if so, would you consider swapping your liferaft for a survival equipped and enhanced bouyancy sailing dinghy that would enable you to actually make way and potentially enable self-rescue? Lots of questions in one there, but would be interested in your thoughts on this. Cheers!

You need a second line, attached to the center of the farthest drogue in each group. Then you can collapse some drogues in each group, or collapse all to drag them back in.
@kencarter3616
@kencarter3616 2 года назад
I've never used a parachute anchor but, it seems like you could have an extra line tied to the nose of the parachute. Leave it slack when in use and pull it in first to collapse/reverse the parachute when it's all over.

Great presentation. Do you have any tips on handling frightened crew? On an aside, i recall meeting a guy who had just come in solo off a vicious Lake Ontario storm in a 22 foot Nordic, an strong but basic sailboat. I congratulated him on making it in and asked him what he did. He said that when the time was right he bare poled it, lashed down the tiller and went into the vberth and packed the sails around him to wait it out. And promptly started throwing up for the next while. The next morning he was tied up in the slip beside me with one of those sea stories we are happy to hear after the fact. I enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work! Phil

Hi Herb and Maddie, Thank you for the video on storm tactics. What are your thoughs on rigging the sea anchor? In another video I saw information about using a storm anchor and there were pros and cons on various ways to rig them (using a length of chain between the parachute and rode and optional trip line for examples). Also, this video recommended that the length of rode should be 10 time the length of the boat. Any advise on how to store that much line? Maddie, I would love to see more of your art.

LOVED this video. I have a million questions but alas, I will narrow it to one. Heeling. I am just beginning my helm time and I panic when the boat heels too much and everything I have learned just flies straight out of my head. I am with a very skilled skipper and he just laughs and makes a few corrections. The angle of heeling that sets me to FREEZE is in fact an ideal angle for a racing boat. We are low to the water and going about 6-7 knots. How do I get past this? What do I do to correct it? At what point should I truly start to panic? Advice? Love from B-more

@MerleNicholson
@MerleNicholson 2 года назад
The best thing to do for a parrot is: "Don't buy a parrot". The vast majority of human-(large)parrot relationships ends in tragedy. The parrot is emotionally bonded to it's "owner" and you certainly - for the parrots sake - do not want to die before it does. Parrots are orphaned all the time due to deaths and just life changes that everyone goes through. The loss of a caregiver probably ends with a bird with mental health issues. A possible exception In some circumstances if the human has young children that may also bond to the parrot, inherit the bird and outlive the parrot. But how can you guarantee that? Instead, look for a breed that has a shorter life span. Some small birds fit in that category.
@mikelowmon4666
@mikelowmon4666 2 года назад
Something I have always wondered… during heavy seas, as in storms. So you ever consider closing all seacocks to avoid the shock pressure it may cause to the plumbing and causing a hose to rupture or otherwise come off of the fitting. this causing flooding conditions at the worst possible time. This is of course except for the engine cooling seacock for us engine powered sailors.

If the electric engine can be used as a drogue, why doesn't it completely kill boat speed when cruising? I knew regen would reduce boat speed somewhat but it didn't occur to me it could replace a drogue. Can you elaborate a bit more on the topic?
@braithmiller

Each boat will certainly be different. Prop size and maximum electric braking. Some figures analogous to engines. Good one we have a few tricks.
@shaneriehl223
@shaneriehl223 2 года назад
Also, friction increases as speed increases, so it may get them up to but not over 10 knots, which is a very manageable speed to be traveling.
@dwarftoad

Propeller would normally be feathered while sailing (unless you want the regen and are ok with the slowdown. Interesting to hear that it can (almost?) replace a drogue.)
@braithmiller
@braithmiller 2 года назад
@@dwarftoad If one has feathering, such an expensive feature. Why doesn’t it kill (all stop) speed? There will always be slip, the wind is power full. Think flaps and air brakes in planes. Drag and turbulence. Many different drogue/sea anchor design options. Some choose to have multiple options onboard.
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 2 года назад
We have the cheapest and most dependable of propeller options: a fixed three blade prop. It is a lot more drag than a feathering prop but it also always works with almost no maintenance.

@charlesbird7921
@charlesbird7921 2 года назад
Thank you for another well thought out and informative video. You outline the progressive tactics to be implemented as the weather deteriorates towards a serious storm. Deploying a series rogue (from off the stern) comes before heaving to, which in turn comes before deploying a sea anchor (off the bow). Given the difficulty, as you mentioned, of getting the series rogue back on board (particularly during a storm), would you leave it deployed when heaving to and when deploying the sea anchor? Ie, can you have a series rogue and a sea anchor deployed at the same time? Many thanks and very best wishes.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the video and the opportunity to ask a question. Just bought a Electric Yacht motor setup for our boat. You mentioned using the electric engine as a drogue. Can you give more details on how that is done? Do you put the motor in neutral or reverse? How effective is it compared to a drogue?
@PyeGuySailing
@PyeGuySailing 2 года назад
Your comment about using the electric motor as a drogue fascinated and confused me. I have an electric motor as well but a different brand and set up. For mine I was told by the company to leave my motor in neutral to get regen to work. What do you do differently to create regen and drag? Oh and SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK?

John Kretchmer has high regard toward fore reaching and I believe this is his go to strategy. Interestingly, the Pardee’s seemed to specifically avoid fore reaching in their book. I imagine it’s a matter of workload but and preference. Can you please comment on this tactic?

Too late for the live stream but would love to see a video demonstrating how to heave too (either you or link to another video). Heard it explained in words many times but always forget it (never had a chance to try it in heavy weather yet.)

Another well said vid. I know contest is over but question? Under what combinations of sail in what conditions will your boat properly heave to? Example I've sailed a Lyle Hess cutter and in light airs I can lay to under a full main and backed stays'l. In anything over 20+ some type of reef main or trys'l is nicely balanced. An important thing to mention is every boat balances differently under various combination of sail. There is a reefing procedure when hove to as well, same as when sailing.
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 2 года назад
Very good point! In light air, we heave to with whatever sail we had up. In winds 25-35 knots, we heave to with 3rd reef or trysail and staysail. In winds above 35 knots we use 3rd reef or trysail. In winds over 60 knots, we only use the trysail.

I can't recommend a trisail enough, after our racing crew (we were cruising San Diego to Baja) accidentally gybed a 2nd time in 20kt winds, we heaved-to and put up the Trisail, and all my mainsail concerns were abated, they're easy to find, and we don't even use a track for ours: just a cleat on the mast, and the main halyard, have used it in up and down-wind in 35kts+

Thanks, good stuff. I was just wondering, if you had an extra line or two clamped to one side of a parachute anchor, could you pull one side and have it release the pressure out the other, less tethered side for getting it back? I have no experience, just playing it out in my head.

I'd like more explanation on just how effective your regen was while running and at what point (windspeed?) you'd switch to deploying a drogue? Do you have a Pardey bridle rigged for the parachute anchor, and what are the downsides to deploying the parachute or maybe a smaller sea anchor off the stern?

Guys quite interesting video about storm survival, in the event that you get demasted, what would you guys do since you cannot heave to?, I would imagine throw the storm anchor, but what if you dont have one? lay a-hull (which as you mentioned its not a good idea)

Love you two! I am currently reading Storm Tactics but it sure would be nice to have a signed copy from the legend Lin Pardey (and her husband Larry)! Here is my question: What is the best RU-vid video to watch about how to "heave to?" What would be nice to watch would be all the different ways to heave to and actually watching it in action instead of just pictures and talk. Maybe you can send me a link. Thanks ahead of time. Keep up the great videos. Four years and still looking good! God is good.

Living on the Oregon coast, I have to point out that seeking shelter when you are near land is not always the best tactic. It will surly get you killed here where we have 100’s of miles of Lee shore with extremely dangerous river bar crossings. In a it blow it is better to head as far offshore as possible when you have these kinds of coastlines. Be aware of the geography of the area you are sailing in. River bar crossings are no joke, particularly in mountainous regions with rivers with high flow rates. Look up videos on the Colombia river bar.
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 2 года назад
I’ve seen videos of the harbor pilots boats at the Columbia river. It’s horrible! Lee shores are no joke, and that time we pulled into a harbor in the med was the first time that we actually went closer to land in bad weather. Normally, sea way is your best friend and land means death to your hull!
@debdoyle119
@debdoyle119 2 года назад
I am familiar with the tactics but always wondered how do you turn around to go from one to the other. I think you said Jordan drogue and then hove to.

Well, that was a really interesting episode! I am just about to fit my boat with electric propulsion so I was interested to hear about its potential as a drogue. I do actually have a series drogue so I guess I'm set in that respect. So my question is: What do you consider to be the best power generation strategy for recharging the motor batteries? I guess it will be a kinda hybrid between solar, wind, regen, shore power and portable generator. But which order of importance would you put them?
@RiggingDoctor
@RiggingDoctor 2 года назад
Out at sea, when regen runs 24/7, you can make some nice power numbers. In coastal situations where you only sail for a few hours, solar is my next go to.

Hi guys, finally, you have finished your two directions Atlantic crossing, including Mediterranean sailing. Sorry because I began to see your interesting videos afterwars, if I had found your channel before, I could know you in Almerimar, for example, or in the Atlantic Coast. Can you tell me the medicines and plan that you have on board?, thinking in first aids. Do you have satellital phone?

hi I have a Albin nova 33. Its a light boat, but it's fast to sail. When there is a lot of wind it's difficult to go against the wind. I would like to invest some in trysail an storm jib. Should I make a cutter rig attachment on the foredeck(fiber glass/steel job) for the storm jib or go for one of those you attach around the furlerjib?

Any ideas on storm tactics for catamarans? How do I heave to on a catamaran? There is no significant fin keel down there. Also, If I drop the sea anchor, at what angle should I hold it? As far as I know it shouldn't be directly in front of my boat.

I’m planning on using synthetic rigging this year because of your channel! My question is why do you not use turn buckles and when you size the new shrouds (diameter) do you base it on the working strength of the stainless steel wire alone or are you looking for a minimum desired diameter that far exceeds the original strength? Thanks Mike S.
