I saw this on Sailinganarchy.com. If you ever wondered what happens when a sailboat doesn't yield right of way to a large ship, see this. The pessimist says it's ugly. The optimist says it could have been a lot worse!
There are a lot of comments on the Sailing Anarchy forum. My favorite: "A freighter captain told me once, you know what they hear on board when a freighter hits a sailboat: nothing. "
The Hanne Knutsen in this video is 870 feet (265 meters) long. The sailboat is about 36 feet.
