Well, no need for coffee to wake up after that. Keep boats are amazing. When I was a kid sailing with my grandfather we’d keel or hit a squall and I’d worry we’d tip over… he’d always tell me “we might get sick or be tossed around but the boat will be fine”…

This is what happens when you are close to shore. This is why I prefer to be offshore in deep water

Looks like an inlet with outgoing tide vs onshore wind. See that a lot in South Florida.
sola_mia@reddit
Wowee. Great footage
marko-polo-minty@reddit (OP)
Thanks 😎👍
tokwik2@reddit
A wave hit it. At sea? Chance in a million. 😎
RB438@reddit
Was it in a cut? Brutal depth change? Or just out of nowhere?
arbitrageME@reddit
I read "depth charge" and I'm like ... What decade are you from???
Quirky-Scar9226@reddit
Dude’s sailing the Straight of Hormuz.
RB438@reddit
In any case, I'm saving the video to convince the crew to wear their harnesses at night.

LEROY JENKINS!

Automatic dodger deployment. Clever.
Nausicaaah@reddit
Came here to comment on the self deploying dodger, see that I was beaten by seven hours..
sailingtroy@reddit
Dodger was like, "I got you, bro."
blooztune@reddit
Totally! That’s hilarious.

Parking-Definition52@reddit
That automatic Dodger got me!! that’s pretty cool!!
dawa43@reddit
Glad you got through that.
Had you taken that on the beam it would have really hurt
smootex@reddit
Was this an actual rogue wave or are you racing on a bar or something?

self engaging sprayhood lol
jackspinnaker@reddit
shoo, that would have scared my mule as we say in my family…

Man that had to hit hard as you flopped over the crest. Cool footage, thanks for sharing!
marko-polo-minty@reddit (OP)
Your welcome 😎
jh937hfiu3hrhv9@reddit
Looks like another monster is approaching.
marko-polo-minty@reddit (OP)
Luckily for us the monster wave on the horizon broke so we didn’t encounter anymore big waves 👍😎
andy_1337@reddit
Would you have taken a different approach to the wave? Steering to port a bit more to avoid catching it that hard maybe? Honest question
marko-polo-minty@reddit (OP)
Had no time to do anything else it was a rogue wave that just came towards us just had to hold on tight and hope for the best 😎
P99163@reddit
Honestly, it looks more like a higher-than-usual swell than a rogue wave.
icanhazkarma17@reddit
Right. Now stack up up 5 or 10 of those higher-than-usual swells and you'll get yourself a nice rogue wave.
TheGoldenGod420@reddit
Best way is to hit the wave at 45 degrees, if you can.
kaese_meister@reddit
big waves you dont want to hit side on... could roll you. if anything more to starboard would be my understanding.
StuwyVX220@reddit
Why was the spray hood down? Defeats its purpose if it’s down.

Very confused seas
spacedoutmachinist@reddit

PoxyMusic@reddit
Almost looks like the Potatopatch
Swifty52@reddit
I stand corrected, all your safety gear was needed!
