[couvidan]

i didn't know boats could surf????!!!!??? 0:20

[Del350K4]

I found that video strangely...uplifting. While impressive as evidence of good design, it also inspired in me a great deal of admiration, almost affection, for the plucky little vessel.

[Streamliner009]

Beautiful model, it seems it can take a little punishment!

[UmiRyuzuki]

@Burnz2much: its really fake!! dont you see at 1:6 there is a man swimming... try to pause..

[zhang463]

hhahaha what a fake!!! try to pause 1:6

[Burnz2much]

[nhp651]

@zhang463 ...you really are a freekin' muppet aren't you......the clue is in the title .................1:12 scale Interceptor MODEL tested for selfrighting.

GET A LIFE AND FIND SOMETHING USELESS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.....NUMPTY

It's a model, it's not balsa and it doesn't have lead fishing weights stuck in the bottom!!!, peasants. I built it and I take pride in my work!!!

[tortugabob]

Anyone can make a balsa wood model and weigh the bottom down with some fishing weighs and make the boat self right. Even Chuck Norris can do that.

[nhp651]

@tortugabob I would love to see one of your models............perhaps I'd learn how not to do something.lol

[ajb79]

I want one

[MsDawsonator]

at the start i thought this was real until i saw that the people were surfing and much bigger than the boat :P

[willie59398]

turn it into the waves



[coraltuber]

Fantastic test. Winced at the pitchpoles. What a great design and model. Marine ingenuity and technology can make such awesome vessels.

[TheBlueBoy1968]

wow awesome

[zwerkball2565]

fake

[lifeboatmodeller]

@zwerkball2565 ..now young very inexperienced chappie......what's FAKE about that video.

[fonkyman]

@lifeboatmodeller lol im a noob at ship stuff,. and you apear not to be :P so i have a question do the full scale models behave the same way at sea ???? because that would be like frikkin awesome (unsinkable??) i would actually want to go out to sea in something like that (im afraid of water :P ) (sorry for my poor poor spelling!! )

[lifeboatmodeller]

@fonkyman have a look at the frank wildcat's videos of the real stuff. brilliant. depending on where you live, contact either the USCG, or the british RNLI for info on serving with them as crew.you must be committed though to that way of life.

[fonkyman]

@lifeboatmodeller oh im sorry i didnt see your comment but i live in holland do you think they have ships like that around here anyway ??? anyway i dont wanna do something like that for a job but i would be willing to go out to sea on a ship like that :P thanks for the comment !

[vexviper]

Thats so cool!!

[nhp651]

hi, sorry, but I didn't keep them after I finished the model, but if you contact Frank Kowalski at Safehaven Marine, I'm sure he would be able to help you.

neil.

[pawel085]

[squamishriverjet]

[jasanpahaf]

this is kool, but i wouldn't like to be inside of a real one in this conditions (better than a "regular" one though!!!)

[4gioiello]

grande cazzata

[jase265]

what makes this boat no roll? these should be rescue boats in newzealand!

[StealthMonkey25]

and throughout the video i was saying "Roll damnit, roll!!!"

[atreewithnolife]

thanks , will stick with the duck pond .

[atreewithnolife]

wow id love one of those u could sail anywhere!

[nhp651]

[yachtymadness]

Really nice model. Could you tell me how to source one please?

[ElenarMT]

Well, she self-rights allright!  Well done!

[cameracompany]

wow ur a cool cat

[Fairwind9]

Very Cool, and Righteous!

[hihathitter711]

u just got ownerd my boat would break them pussy waves!!!lol prbly not nvm

[jbrabec22]

Hope nobody died ;(

[C10SEY]

its a model... just incase you cant read the title, means it was scaled down to a size about the size of a shoe box i guess....

[jbrabec22]

No, there are frightened people in the windows frantically waiving their arms. Plus, towards the beginning you can barely see the captain leap out with a red life vest.

[nhp651]

give me a pint o' what he's been drinkin' please' great imagination, mate.

[commentsbyjss]

@jbrabec22 its just small size model ther's none inside stupid

[nhp651]

I think the real boat handles somewhat better than my small model? She has a little more power than two small electric motors???

[ghett0fabu1as]

and of course we're all forgetting that even though the ship might have made a few deals with gravity, the men inside are rolling around inside of that bitch

[iosskjold]

super nhp651 skjold :-)

[solent38]

Never seen anything llike that before - quite an amazing model. I wonder(would not want to experience!) how this mirrors the actions of the real thing in such conditions.

[nhp651]

it was built by myself, from plans obtained from the company called Safehavenmarine, and was built from plugs I made, and moulds made for me. it is powered by 12 volt torpedo 850 twin motors.

[jcadlols]

@nhp651 Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the safehaven plans? Otherwise details of how much they wanted for them and who you contacted would be awesome. Cheers :)

[cigaretteone03]

where did you bught this??? it's a tamiya model? it have the motor? nice video...5 stars
