Damn dude, didnt you know that dark patch on the horizon is land?

this doesn't look too well organised...

Some gutsy crew members of that rescue boat. That could have gone wrong in many ways. Real heroes!

was he sick

A reminder that the best sailors with the best equipment can still be ravaged by the sea.

Great job guys! I'm glad he didn't have a pet with him!

Oh my gosh wow. Well done for rescuing him. That was scary when the mast snapped. Poor guy looked so devastated. As you would do.

Mabuhay

Povera barca😥 Cmq.vedo che vengono abbandonate tante belle barche in mare

hello pinoy seafarer

That boat looked in proper sailing condition...and to the people in the comment section suggesting it get towed....that boats maximum hull speed was not more than 15 or 16 knots...the ship cruises at 26 to 32 knots...then there is the angle of the line ...what part of that yacht would be secure enough to tow from...just an incredibly impossible thing to do. I would like to know the whole story on this.

My grandfather was on the ships I honestly feel so proud to see how captains maintain this integrity of rescuing people when they spot one on in general one helping the other and rescuing. Thank you for being such good humans

Good job

Wow

need a bigger steel sailboat.

All Yatches, Boats & Small Ferries have to be knowledgeable about the "Distress Signal" and how to transmit them by the use of emergency beacons and transponders. Distress Signal is SOS which is "Save our Souls". Any ship who receives this signal has to deviate from its route and come for their rescue. This is what was shown in the video.

O mar é maravilhoso mais também tem muito risco !!

A ghost boat is dangerous !!!

I simply cannot understand how a boat that seems to be in perfect working order had to be abandoned by her single crew. For me two reasons why such a thing could happen … He thought he could handle her alone but he couldn't : these boats are pretty demanding and need a lot of training. Or he loose a crew member at sea and he couldn't handle the trauma… Which is the worse thing that could happen to a sailor, any sailor.

May 21, 2007 A British sailor nearly delirious after he was stranded at sea for two days was saved in a dramatic rescue in high winds by a cruise ship captain who turned out to be his neighbor from a town 4,000 miles away. No one would believe it if it weren't true. Solo sailor John Fildes probably would not have survived his ordeal if the giant luxury cruise ship Crown Princess had not canceled a planned stop in Bermuda because of the same high winds that disabled the sailboat. The rescue took place Monday, May 14, a little more than 100 miles south of Bermuda. The Crown Princess ended its nine-day cruise Monday in New York. Fildes, 32, an experienced yachtsman, was sailing his boat, "Dangerous When Wet," alone from the Caribbean island of St. Maarten to Rhode Island battling stormy conditions at sea when his sails apparently collapsed. He became ill as he bobbed around in the water for two days unable to keep down any food. According to Crown Princess Capt. Alistair Clark, Fildes had been making Mayday calls on his radio for two days, but no other ships were in range to hear his pleas for help. The Crown Princess would not have been there either, except for the fact that it canceled a planned port call in Bermuda because of high winds. So the ship headed a day early to San Juan and was in position to hear the distress call. The 113,000-ton, 950-foot-long cruise ship raced to the aide of the addled 40-foot sailboat. The dramatic rescue in high winds was part skill and part luck, according to one of the ship's officers. Hundreds of passengers, including myself, watched in awe from open decks and balconies as the cruise ship slowly approached the sailboat. The high winds and 12-foot swells made the rescue quite dangerous. The ship's crew made a decision to let the sailboat drift over and come into contact with the side of the cruise ship to make the recovery a bit safer. The Crown Princess launched a small rescue boat to pluck Fildes from his damaged vessel as the rescue boat and the sailboat bounced up and down in the high waves. After Fildes was taken aboard the rescue boat, his sailboat rocked back and forth, its mast hitting the side of the Crown Princess as surprised passengers looked on. Its mast snapped off as the boat drifted along the side of the cruise ship and was left behind. The crew believes the sailboat, said to be worth more than $100,000, took on water and soon sank. Clark said the ship's doctors, who treated Fildes, believe he probably would not have survived another day stranded at sea. Fildes left the Crown Princess in San Juan. As an unexpected ending to this dramatic rescue story, it turns out Clark and Fildes live about a mile away from each other in the coastal English village of Warsash but had never met. Clark told passengers on the ship he plans to visit Fildes back in Warsash. "He probably owes me a drink or two," he said. abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3198333

Почему было не привязать яхту к кораблю и не отбуксировать её? она же денег стоит, а привязать - почти ничего не стоит...

@ 3:58 This brought a tear to my eye. The look on his face, happy he was saved but still saw his sadness to know he lost his yacht. Thank you for this upload.

If your a lone sailor make sure everything is working and now his yacht is gone

Although it’s good this man was saved form whatever unclear trouble he had, it seems kind of bad that they destroyed the perfectly fine/recoverable sailboat in the process. They got way too close it seemed, then after he got in the lifeboat they slammed into the yacht which broke the mast and all linked equipment...

Ocean takes no prisoners, Gr8 job Cruise ship hands. Crew knew what they were doing and Gr8 practice / training!!!!

having too much money is dangerous sometimes.

where is more story to this ?

You said it couldnt to turn ,,,In 1966 I was on the Sitmar Line " Fairstar" in the specifications that Ship could turn in 1 1/2 times her length..

???How can a man put out to sea alone and be unable for three days ? The boat seemed perfect order. Don't blame anybody, just would like to know the story behind.

they should have towed the boat

Am i wrong? I heard some people speaks tagalog when they try to save the boat of the survivor.

Hallo moyok to

The man did not calculate his strength. He was saved. Yacht thrown into the sea. Why didn't they drown her ??? After all, at night you can face it The same small ship. Other people will die ........... ..
