Giant wave swallows sailboat deck in white spray
What this video covers
A rogue wave exceeding 10 meters struck Paula and Pedro's sailboat from the stern near the Antarctic Polar Circle during their "Vuelta Vertical" — a circumnavigation routed through Antarctica and the Arctic.▶ 0:04 The wave broke directly over the deck, swept everything off the topsides, and drove the hull underwater.▶ 0:30 Water flooded to the deepest compartments below.▶ 0:39 A second impact left Paula disoriented.▶ 1:04 The live-stream cameras cut out on impact, leaving family and followers without contact for 12 days.▶ 0:49 Pedro, who was off-watch and resting when the wave hit, had his own immediate priorities to manage.▶ 1:10 Despite the severity of the damage, Paula and Pedro chose not to abandon the voyage; they diverted to South Africa to carry out repairs before continuing the vertical circumnavigation.▶ 1:16 The incident confirms that a single isolated wave in Southern Ocean conditions can overwhelm a vessel even when the broader situation appears controlled.
