splat 55 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Scary...not sure about the jump off the floating boat on dusk, hoping to get collected...sea state looks interesting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yeah, thought that too. Boat seems floating ok. Main looks shredded. No sea anchor or drogue, not hove to, appears to be lying ahull. Not my tactic of choice. But I dont know the story... Yep, its a bit fresh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,568 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Stuff that. No thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 .es maybe spain and the notorious bay of biscay? yeah, the lack of a drogue or sea anchor made it pretty ugly for the lie-a-hull esp. with the rags aloft but there's many a sea-state worse than that down round here even dropping a bruce anchor would have helped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 VIDEO This was the complicated rescue of an Irish sailboat off the coast of A Coruña The five crew of the Loa Zour had to be thrown into the water to be hoisted VIDEO Rescue of the sailboat Loa Zour / Maritime Rescue 0:00 / 1:47 Rescue of the sailboat Loa Zour (video: Salvage Maritime) Noela Bao Reading time: 1 '07 Jun 2019 - 11:44 Updated 12:00 The storm 'Miguel' generated about 250 incidents in Galicia, but the worst was at sea. An Irish sailboat was left adrift in orange alert, yesterday afternoon, and its five crew had to be assisted by Salvation troops in a difficult rescue. The rescue center of Fisterra activated the operation at 20:26 hours on Thursday, when it received the warning of the radio beacon of the sailboat 'Loa Zour', of 13 meters in length and Irish flag. It had been adrift about 85 miles northwest of A Coruña. Salvamento mobilized the plane 'Sasemar 102', based in Santiago, and the helicopter 'Helimer 401'. The rescue, according to sources of emergency service, was "very complicated" due to the sea conditions, very adverse. There was very thick sea with waves of 4 to 6 meters and winds of 65 knots, "which is equivalent to 120 km / h", according to clarifies the body of Development in social networks. The sailboat swayed a lot, which prevented the rescuer from going directly to the ship. He had to descend to the sea as close as possible to the sailboat. The five crew members had to jump one by one into the sea to be lifted to the helicopter. Those rescued did not need medical assistance. At 22:41 the helicopter managed to get them safe and at 23:20 the helicopter was back at its base in the Coruña airport of Alvedro. The crew of the 'Loa Zour' consisted of five men: one of 37 years, from Croatia, and four from Ireland: one of 47, two of 57 and one of 62 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 157 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I hope the winch is powerful enough for the Steel Blls of the Swimmer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I wonder if they dodged all of those? Head on, Just how do you deal with that? At a slight angle, 90° or what? Hopefully you have way. White water is boom level plus. Either a parachute or a drouge. Both will dissapate some of the wave's energy before it gets to you. With a parachute, some use it straight off the bow, so direct into it, but I prefer a bridle and a bit of an angle.... Research shows that any vessel lying beam on to breaking seas (the breaking bit, not wave height) of a height 30% of their wll will almost certainly be rolled over. lying ahull is dangerous in big breaking seas!

Black Panther 1,568 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 While a well found and well managed small boat can survive some fairly horrendous weather, in the conditions shown id say theres no guarantee you are coming home. Avoid such situations if at all possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
