The video we didn't want to watch! The first 8 minutes of the dismasting January 2024
July 19, 2024 by Sailing Aquarius Around The World | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:30 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
The video depicts a harrowing experience that unfolded on January 18, 2024, involving Sailing Aquarius Around The World, a popular YouTube channel following a couple’s sailing adventure around the globe. In this gripping episode, viewers are taken through the chaotic moments leading up to and immediately following a dismasting incident.
The Unforeseen Dismasting Incident
As the crew of Sailing Aquarius set sail, they find themselves caught in a seemingly endless series of squalls. The captain attempts to navigate through these treacherous conditions while monitoring their progress. Despite their best efforts to maintain speed and stay ahead of the weather, the relentless onslaught of squalls takes its toll.
Gruesome Reality of Dismasting
The dismasting event itself unfolds with terrifying abruptness. The crew discovers the reality of their situation as the mast comes crashing down, threatening to destroy everything in its wake. Panicked and unsure of what to do next, they frantically try to secure lines and stabilize the boat.
Battling Against Time
With their mast now lying in shreds on the ocean’s surface, the crew must act fast. They realize that every second counts as they strive to keep essential communication equipment functional – a Starlink device, which serves as their lifeline for maintaining contact with loved ones and accessing emergency assistance.
The Final Moments
As the final remnants of the mast are secured, the crew reflects on their ordeal. The sheer intensity of the experience has left them both emotionally and physically exhausted. They recognize that the success of their rescue efforts hinges not only on their resourcefulness but also on their determination to keep each other safe.
Lessons Learned and Moving Forward
In this episode, Sailing Aquarius shares an essential lesson about the unpredictability of nature. Sailboats may seem invincible, but even well-maintained vessels are not immune to catastrophic events like dismasting. The crew’s quick thinking and ability to work together during this crisis demonstrate just how crucial teamwork is in times of adversity.

WARNING - it's a stressful situation, so lot's of shouting. A lot of footage you can't see much as video quality is poor. For those unfamiliar with our channel - the boat in the video is AMEL Super Maramu 2000 (ketch that has 2 masts)
We didn't watch any of the dismasting videos until enough time had past, and we had time to heal. After 4 months, we started looking at the videos in preparation to cut this video.
This will be the series of videos - first showing what happened then we will share our findings.

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
We are couple sailing around the world on our AMEL Super Maramu 2000 called Aquarius. We climbed career ladders, and enjoyed living in Southern California and we always loved traveling. One conversation during the dinner take a year off and go travel started shaping up. Without much of previous sailing experienced we decided to buy a boat and sail around the world, which we started in Caribbean in the beginning of 2017, and still sailing, hoping to circumnavigate the world!
