Uncle Fester found this clip on Boing Boing. It’s a sloop attempting to enter an inlet on a Danish island in the Baltic Sea under very adverse conditions.

Masterfully done. Very easy for that to have been an “epic fail” classic though. As much as the capt. might have said “had her under control the whole time” we all know the truth. Luck does, however, favor the bold, as they say.
O Dios Mio.
Grab your sloop and go surfin’ all over the world. The skippe made it in right smartly too!

Pretty piece of seamanship
Yikes! Time for a change of skivvies, I’d say.
I’d only do this with Thor Paulsen @ the helm. I wouldn’t even wince.
The guy on the bow sure had faith in the skipper!
