Boaters on you tube

I watch a lot of boat channels on you tube, mainly as i cant sail i find it fantastic to see these people sailing off around the world.

Now i realise the old system of radio to telephone communications is finished with and every one has a sat phone as such digital life.

But its almost impossible to see a boat with a HF rig on board, they all have marine vhf but only for local habour master use. I never see anyone with a hf rig and antennaset up.

i would have thought for boat long range comms it would still be of value, especially for emergancy use as well as general comms too

why is that?
