No doubt about it , though who would expect a hurricane in the North sea , says he , knowingly /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
According to the link she was knocked down and almost capsised in 97 during the hurricane , and the video was taken by the German lifeboat that escorted her back in to shelter
That's one hell of a boat /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

How about this one. Although not classic boat related, I think the skipper does well with an inexpereinced crew: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=whSHw4k2yLo

The group running "Anita" claims to have some of the highest standards of seamanship to be found, but are found frequently in situations where they should not have ended in...

I seem to remember that when I was first invited to go sailing I thought it would be just like that /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif it turned out to be nothing like it , and now Louise is looking forward to a trip just like that /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Why do you say that, it seems to be perfectly bouyant andunder control, no waves on deck.

Apart from having been knocked down and breaking a spreader. That has to put a dampener on your day!

"During the autumn of ’97 a hurricane in the North Sea generated such monster waves that Anita was knocked down and partly capsized. Major damage was sustained. The doghouse was smashed, the mizzenmast broken and lots of deck equipment washed away. Some of the crew also suffered severe injuries but under the watchful eye of the German Lifeboat service. Anita made it back to Helgoland in relatively one piece."

Fair enough, but the fact that the boat did not, sink or founder
seems to be a plus.
