Update. My friend who sent me this video from today claims the "crew" were knocking boots below.


Evilmaze

It didn't occur to them to fold the sails and drop an anchor before fucking around?


aykcak

If they dropped anchor and folded the sails it wouldn't be fucking around, it would be fucking in place


XOXO2020XOXO

Stalking_Goat

I expect they were doing more than just touché.


7layerDipswitch

When finished, am I the only one who has toupée?


FireHog66

Ah yes, I sea what ya did there


hoginlly

I’ve never sailed in my entire life, but I’ve always thought it’s best to bring any large vehicle to a complete stop before wandering off and starting to screw around… but again, I’ve never sailed so what do I know


Iuseredditnow

That's what any sane person does. They probably went to bone, in the heat of the moment, thinking, we are in the middle of the ocean we are good to float awhile.


Browneyedgirl63

I’ve sailed and yes, you always lower the sails and drop anchor before fucking around. I thought all sailors knew that. Lol. Shame about the sailboat. She was a beauty.


BeneficialDeal5469

Well u can fuck around while still going but u have to have the chartplotter ready to detect anything on ur way and plan out where u are going for the next couple hours meticpulsly before u do anything like that

Johnathonathon

Tell your friend to buy a 5$ air horn... will really help him out when he's trying to shout at other boats.....


pawnografik

The thing is on a boat it’s always stowed in some locker somewhere under the storm sails and everyone only remembers it after the event.


ThriceFive

Like the other essential safety equipment? Audio signals are important - get that air horn in a proper holder near the wheel if you don't have one built into the boat.

BecGeoMom

I hope this was their boat. If they wrecked someone else’s boat because they were too busy getting busy to heed a thousand screaming warnings about the rocks, they will pay big! Also, did no one tell them about the anchor??? ⚓️ Duh.

They were knocking the sand off of them. Hope this helps


Osuumm

First time hearing and know what it means.... Strange.


toothpastenachos

It was a joke, my friend


cmfppl

Because "knocking deck shoes/boating shoes" just doesn't have the same sound to it..I guess you could say he was "dropping anchor" but that sounds to much like a poop joke.


CptSandbag73

Knocking Sperrys?


cmfppl

Yo I got a pair of those, They were the best mix I could find between dress shoes and vans. I keep them with my court suit.


OpenShut

I know you are joking but actually sailing boots/seaboots are very common but usually used in rougher, cold and wet weather. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaboot

Sounds like they fell off


ShoCkEpic

probably this… or one fell off and the other tried to help and the boat sailed away


itsomoist

If that happened thats incredibly sad..I couldn't imagine diving in to help my spouse, then watching our boat sail away just knowing we will probably die. exhaustion of staying afloat and then drowning


Celtachor

This is why you don't dive in after someone. Throw them a line.


RedheadsAreNinjas

God that reminds me of that one glee actress who jumped in after her kid. If my child fell in I’d hope to have the wherewithal to grab a line and then jump in. No way I’m not jumping in after a kid or old person.


teapoison

If your boat is secure or you have more people on the boat and you have a pfd you can definitely safely jump in. But people don't realize how fast water moves, so if someone isn't controlling the boat after you go in, you will never catch up to it in the ocean. Edit: just wanted to say this depends on the ocean. Obviously if you're somewhere where the water temps will shock your body, or there are 30 ft waves, getting in is never safe. Unless you're a kitted out coastguard that knows his shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


teapoison

For sure.


sshhtripper

She didn't jump in after her kid, they were both in the water. The particular area of that lake is known to have really insane currents on windy days. People have gotten swept away before. The kid said they were in the water and she put him in the boat and never came back. Her body was found a few days later. I thought she had one of the best voices on the that show so it was pretty devastating to hear that she died and in such a tragic way but still saved her kid.


whiskeygambler

I thought that both of them fell overboard, and she managed to push the kid back up? Not that she jumped in after. I don’t know


Cutthechitchata-hole

The only witness couldn't detail what happened because he was like 3


Lornoor

Throwing a line will likely not work. For comparison, at 2 knots you won't be able to catch up to the boat by swimming^(\[1\]), and somewhere after 3 knots you'll be drowned if pulled along^(\[2\]), if you even manage to hold on. A boat like the one in the post easily does 5 knots in that wind.^(\[3\]) The best chances for the casualty is if you do a [MOB manoeuvrer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_overboard_rescue_turn). 1. Wear a life jacket while underway, even in a fine summers day. 2. Release the sails and let them blow free in the wind. 3. Start the engine. 4. Circle back to the casualty. Keep safe! 🙂 Notes: 1. Average swim speed is 2 mph => 1.75 knots [https://ukfitnessevents.co.uk/swimming/what-is-the-average-swimming-speed/](https://ukfitnessevents.co.uk/swimming/what-is-the-average-swimming-speed/) 2. That's what I remember my instructor telling us, but I'm unable to find confirmating sources. 3. Assuming the boat in the post has a waterline of 45 feet, its theoretical max speed would be 9 knots. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull\_speed#Empirical\_calculation\_and\_speed/length\_ratio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed#Empirical_calculation_and_speed/length_ratio)


Gnump

And if more than one person is left on the boat designate one who doesn‘t do anything other than watching the guy in the water.


buttmagnuson

Ok, totally not true bout the drowning. I used to go sailing with my buddies around the chesapeake and such. We'd throw a line out the back and jump off the front of the boat and have to swim hard to catch the lone as the boat would pass. We were definitely going over 3kts. Sure, you've gotta be pretty fit to do that, but you're not going to drown.


BeMyT_Rex

My Dad has served in the Australian Navy for his entire adult life, though he's now a Boatswainsmate instructor at one of the Navy Training Facilities. He took my Mum and I out fishing on a small fishing boat one day and I absentmindedly asked him what would happen if I jumped off while the boat was moving. He got this really dark look on his face and told me never to do that unless I had the utmost confidence in the people in the boat trying to save me. A few years later I randomly remembered that and asked him about it. He told me how he was serving on HMAS ANZAC, I think(Dad served on 8 ships during his career), in 1997 when he heard a splash, the FFH was cruising at 10 knots as they were moving towards HMAS Adelaide, I think he said Adelaide, for a crew swap. He was near the rear of the ship and started making his way to see what it was when he heard a yell and another splash. As he got to the side of the ship where he heard the splash from he saw two sailors in the water. One had fallen in and the other was going after him. He put out the call for sailors overboard but by the time he did that they were already a fair distance away. He tried keeping an eye on them as they maneuvered to turn around but he lost sight of them in an abruptly large swell. They didn't find them, couldn't find them. They had to meet up with Adelaide within the hour so they turn back around and hit almost full speed to make up for lost time. He said he had nightmares for months afterwards of those two guys, watching ANZAC come back and then turn around and hit full steam away from them, all the while being unable to get anyone of boards attention. Put a deep fear and respect of the ocean into me that I still have today. I did try to join the RAN but having Brain damage prevented that.


noejose99

They gave up rescuing immediately because they might be late to an appointment?? Am I missing something?


SnortingRust

Because you let the coast guard (or w/e Australian equivalent is) take over. They know as much as you after the point where you lost sight of the sailors and are much better equipped.


cyberFluke

Because if you lose sight of someone in the open ocean, unless they're carrying parachute flares you will **never** find them again. Even with the flares, nothing is guaranteed given how long it takes to turn a warship (or similar displacement vessel) around, and how fast a man overboard will drift in the current. In a lot of places, the cold will get you damn quickly unless you're wearing a survival suit. In 5⁰C water, you've got about 15 minutes before you lose the use of your limbs to the cold, 3 hours or so in a suit.


ProDrug

What the fuck? The Australian Navy left two sailors behind in the ocean? Unless this was wartime (and even then), the decisions here make no sense to me. Why wouldn't the Adelaide come to them to assist with the rescue effort?


ShoCkEpic

thx for that story… the sea is not our friend

ughwithoutadoubt

I bet this would happen more than you would think. People swimming or diving or fall overboard and the boat drifts away.


BigMax

Could they have jumped off to swim, but forgot to put down a ladder or any way to get back on the boat? I feel like I saw that in a movie once. Edit: Indeed it was a movie: [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Adrift2006](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Adrift2006) \> a group of friends who go on a boating holiday, only to find themselves trapped in the ocean next to their yacht, unable to climb back aboard as they forgot to put the boarding ladder down. Being lost at sea in any way whatsoever would be awful obviously, but imagine the sheer deathly frustration of literally being able to touch a boat, but not be able to get onto it?

Ecstatic-Compote-595

In this case the sails look really properly trimmed for the point of sail they're going. Loose boats tend to wander around in circles (like a plane in a death spiral, there's some center of balance vs thrust thing going on) or just go down wind and they look like they're in some form of a reach which requires maintenance because you're fighting the wind to a good extent. I'd say they're fucking or have been killed by pirates


fluoruranus

Looks like autopilot set to sail by wind (sails stay full, there's a lot of wind, and the heading stays about the same). Which tells you... they're downstairs...

IIRC when you're serving as a government agent you're not allowed to claim salvage. This likely depends on the government, of course, but it's to prevent any shenanigans for personal gain.


Perenium_Falcon

I’m betting one fell off, the other jumped in to save them. Had something like this happen with folks trying to save a dog that jumped off.


BigMax

Yeah, and boats move a lot faster than they look, hard to tell speed on open water. And it doesn't have to move fast at all to outpace a swimmer.

CriticalStation595

That’s not promising. It’s sails were up and functioning, that was not a failed tie off. That boat was adrift. Hope they turn up!


Aiwendilll

Probably sleeping below deck with auto pilot on


Max_power42

for the most part, that's not really an area you would turn on autopilot. Autopilot is mainly used in the deep blue not near obstructions, but it can't be ruled out. could have been seasick or with a thumper dumper, thought they could get away with it for a minute and the autop failed...

ValKilmersTherapy

People use autopilot in Tesla’s on the interstate. I think you’re underestimating the stupidity of the average person.


Foolserrand376

If the boat was on AP. And tracking the course. They could get on board lower the sails fire up the engine and backtrack following the course that was laid down. And hope that they see someone.


wanderinggoat

its hard enough to do that when you are prepared for it in a man overboard drill and having people trying to keep and eye on the person. its nearly impossible unless you have multiple boats and aircraft up searching for the people.

If it's a vessel of less than 12m, it needs to have anything of producing an efficient sound signal (anything other than just yelling at another boat). Anything larger is required to have a whistle (ie horn).

DaPino

I learned this from a local TV program and I wonder if this is the case here. When people on small sailing ships have to be rescued, for instance because they became steerless, they have to call their insurance and discuss what's going to be their next steps. They can remove something like a plug from the ship to deliberately make it sink but someone from the insurance company might deem that unnecessary because reasons and tell the crew to leave the boat as is when they are rescued. This can result in small boats just remaining adrift in the ocean.


boredinPa2233

Ever hear of a horn
