Frank 157 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Life TV has a short video narrative of the sinking of Waimanu, discussed elsewhere on this site its quite a good watch https://lifetv.co/life-story/phil-2 The boat was punching into a steep sea and falling off the back of the waves, as Phil described it "like falling on to concrete" I crewed on one trip where we had 40 knots SW about 200 nm off the coast of NZ, the boat was slamming so we reduced sail and slowed down , it was a large steel vessel, seemed to work. be interested to hear from other members as to what they have done in similar circumstances eg As above , slow the boat down Lie a hull Ease sail and reach off etc chrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
