100 Knots with Sailboat boat offshore
This is an English version (with a voice over) of a video I made 3 months ago about how we got trapped at sea, off-shore, on our sailboat with the storm of August 18 in Corsica. We had to face winds of incredible violence (225km / h) at around 20 Nautical ( just under 40km) off Cargèse on a 12.5m sailboat. I sincerely share our experience, what we have experienced, the decisions taken, the context, the mistakes,... Let this be clear, I do not pose as a lesson giver, nor even as a giver of advice. My goal here is to relate the facts and share this experience, with some images. Unfortunately, we will be forced to retract the camera as soon as the 100 knot gust passes for the first time, and we will take it out an hour later when the conditions drop back down to between 50 and 70 knots. When I recorded that video, it was 3 days after the event. Since the french version was seen by +300 000 people with thousands comments and hundreds of questions. Another video is answering to the common questions. Constructive comments are welcome!
