Let the Storm Rage – Lying A Hull in Heavy Weather | Part 3

Out here in the North Atlantic, around 500 miles offshore, conditions are still rough.. In this third part of this mini series, I take a look at what it’s actually like outside while lying a hull in heavy weather. I’m not going out on deck for the sake of footage—there’s no point putting myself in danger on a pitching, rolling deck for a YT likes—but I open the companionway and give you a real sense of what’s going on out there. The wind has eased slightly from last night, when it was blowing 50 kts, but the sea state is still significant. Long wave periods, confused energy, and a steady motion that tells you exactly what passed through here overnight, but Osprey is handling it well. Back below, I go through some of the questions that came up from the first video—why lie a hull, what the alternatives are, and how these decisions are made in real time offshore.

It’s about understanding the situation, making the right call, and letting the boat do what she was built to do. — CSM The Mariner Need More Mariner?
