I know photography can be misleading, but I've been out sailing in 30 knots easterly winds here in Port Elizabeth South Africa and the swells (waves) look much bigger than in this video. Like I said, maybe the video doesn't show how rough the sea really is. Maybe you should come practice your techniques here in South Africa along the Wild Coast or the Cape of Storms.

Дельфины плывут перед кораблями потому, что принимают корабли за китов. Киты обнаруживают косяки рыбы раньше, чем дельфины, у них мощнее гидролокаторы, которые действуют на более длинных расстояниях. Это моя догадка, я не знаю, что думают по этому поводу биологи.
Dolphins swim in front of the ships because they take the ships for whales. Whales find shoals of fish earlier than dolphins, they have more powerful sonars, which operate at longer distances. This is my guess, I do not know what biologists think about behavior of the dolphins.

A Cape Horner is an maritime officer of a commercial sailing ship having rounded Cape Horn. Not many left. They even closed down the club.

Rogue wave? You don't seem to understand the concept of a rogue wave..
...Either way, what gets you usually isn't the waves but the wind, if you're in a sailboat with a ballast keel and not one of those tugboat "yachts" you're almost unsinkable, the crew will give up before the boat.
Now hurricane winds however..

Say "Oh Chit", all passengers and yourself don life vests, Start your engine , ease off all sheets, turn bow into wave, throttle up to full, say prayer, ready the life raft, tie off EPIRB to your belt loop, prepare to abandon if needed. I have never sailed a day in my life but, someday want to. From watching videos, they say to take waves bow first. Definitely, never take a large wave with it on side of boat or behind, I have seen videos of a boat summersaulting.

I would like to see you having ago at rounding Cape horn in a Southern Winter storm as I have done with a 40ft Trimaran. It's no picnic especially when you can't whether its day or night and you have great watery mountains coming out of nowhere.

Did the The north sea race from Hull to Ijmuiden a few times.as crew for my then Landlord.Loved it. First time coming back from  ijmuiden we missed judged the weather and flipped the ship over , lucky for us it righted it self again me and the helmsman were washed over board, but we had life lines on .but all was ok in the end. Did the race another 3 times , would love to go sailing again.

I've been in a force 9 - 10 for 3 days and nights and moored in 65 knots of wind.  I would consider twice before rounding the horn !  Well done everyone.

This is absolutely fascinating. I am completely amazed and truly intrigued with your drive to push the limits. You have quite the lucky crew. One could only dream of experiencing an adventure such as this. May fair winds and following seas grace your journeys. If you are ever looking for an additional crew member I am more than willing to assist!

@Nathanial Jack . . . Wow! You are some courageous dude! An iron man on a wooden ship . . . but for those who don't know the ship Nathanial Jack "sailed", an Optimist is a small, single-handed sailing dinghy intended for use by children up to the age of 15.
