Qué cubre este vídeo
A storm at Fremantle Sailing Club drives sustained winds past 50 knots from the west, pushing Jeanne Socrates's boat off the dock during a spring high tide that submerges the jetty completely.0:11 The bow line parts before the storm peaks, prompting dock crew to replace it with heavier lines and double up on jetty posts, which show signs of potential failure under load.0:28 Wind readings climb in real time from 35 to 38 and then past 50 knots, with high water still incoming when the footage is recorded on a Sunday.1:21 The combination of westerly wind direction, spring tide, and low-pressure system creates conditions worse than a storm alone would produce. Tying to two posts rather than one is the immediate precaution taken when a single post's integrity is in doubt.0:54
