Rescue Boat Accident

[mikerossscuba]

You must traverse swells of this size at a 45 degree angle, or else you get this result.

[diegote6969]

Exactly!! You are 100% rigth. You need to be in that type of situation to understand this!!

[cnollan]

grab a pair of fins and swim it

[ddsailor25]

Not a good day to be out in a small boat. I hope they were OK.

[vighesess]

jajajaja.. como te tenga que venir a rescatar alguien así date por muerto jaja

[aplicio]

that must be coool

[ccccccalum]

i got told that all 3 men died

[bluetitnestbox]

@ccccccalum and your source is?

[belgianhorst]

boat is to light in the bow, every wave it took it got worse. Some rigids have a cushion mounted on a bar to roll back in case of roll over. I did not see it here. he should not give much power because the propellers dig in the rear and of the boat. Mayby trim to boat a bit flatter or less people on board(in the back) or less heavier outboards, more ballast in front. And mayby because this is not single wave but a shallow area with lots of waves, no head on but circumnavigate like a windsurfer

[grumprat]

As others have said lessons were learnt and the later Atlantic 75 and 85 have a water ballast system in the bow that can be filled and emptied whilst afloat. They did get a Bigger Boat the Atlantic 75 is 7.5 metres long rather than 7.0 and the new 85 is 8.5 metres. Whitstable now has a 75

[AmericansSexualPreds]

well he shda hve 2 men stay in the fron but he is retarded

[knocky233]

この楽しいボケなす共は、一体あそこに何をしに行ったんだろうw­w

[NCCNeon]

Google translates this to, "Underlying dementia is both fun, I just went to the one over there?"

Maybe translating Japanese to English isn't done well via automation.

[lwkleijn]

"Underlying dementia is both fun, and I wonder what happened to the WW.." I don't know what WW means:)

[OceanRescueTV]

a little wieght in the front might have helped

chec out our video

[randomtandem]

the boat in the vid is an RNLI atlantic 21, when the atlatic 75 was developed they incorporated a water ballast tank under the deck near the bow. the main reason for the boat going over wasnt the size of the wave but the wind getting under the hull.

[pauloz386]

Totally agree, also attacking the wave on a slight angle rather than head on would of also helped and not so much power, just enough to get up the wave not fly off it.

[sexpist3]

o wait laugh my ass off got it haha... thats G A Y

[sexpist3]

ya seriously what the fuck is LMAO

[kevin15664]

laughing my ass off...

[freebyrdjason]

That's terrible...

[elvira2262]

I have great respect for this humanbeeings.

This men and women go out and help.

[clueworm82]

what the hell is thi LMAO crap? what does that even mean?

[JakeAndJared]

LMAO means laughing my ass off not lame-o

[treemendus]

If these guys are going out in that, there is someone in trouble somewhere. Some of the 'lmao' assholes should think how they would feel if they were bobbing about waiting for THIS crew to come and rescue them.

Yeah, respect for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute)

[nielsvandueren]

If you sit in the front in such weather you will gett catapulted out of the boat wich wil result in your dead and the dead of the other crewmebers trying to save you out of the water.

RESPECT for the RNLI!!!

[criscjk]

lmao if they where trained the right way they would have even weighted the boat e.g put someone at the front lmao AMATURES

[jnorvell673]

cool

[1337Mystery1337]

lol

[derkaderkagogo]

holy shit

[SEEDY67]

Its Whistable, North Kent coast, U.K. Its about 7 years old. The IRB and crew were OK. The boat self righted and they made their way to the casualty.

[lancsdude63]

Have you ever been saved by the RNLI?

Well I have. Look at the clip again, and ask yourself if you are man enough to take a boat out in that sea? These guys are mostly UNPAID volunteers. Men like this make Britain Great... and the government don't pay them a penny. Drop an extra pound in their charity box next time - two quid if you think this was funny.

( a survivor)

[Rumpleproofskin]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[Nmemonicus]

i dont think they had enough weight in front one of them shoulda been up in the bow to prevent that blowover oh well Better luck next time !

[tumper70hp]

mate...u cant drive a rib 2 save urslf haha

jump the fuckn waves n stop fannying about like a pussy

[10880681993]

wat retards trying to go over waves like that

[Ralph34667]

I just crossed 1547 miles of North Atlantic in a low profile flats boat. Over 100 miles was through nine footers and 25 mph winds. We got lucky, our flats boat handled the waves well. We had an extra 2400 lbs of fuel on board, which I now realize probably saved our lives. These guys are pretty tough. We also had most of the weight in the front.

[Ralph34667]

Take a look at the video Longest Unescorted Oceanic Crossing in a Flats Boat.

[gerryjc]

I met one of these guys in training over in cowes.

Nice chap. Funeral Director as far as I recall.

The problem here is that they got caught out and allowed the boat to come off the top of the wave, the resulting pendulum effect of the weight of the engines is what caused the capsize. ProductionDesignerMax, ballast tanks that can be filled and emptied on the fly have been added to the B-Class and I can tell you from experience it makes a HELL of a difference in conditions like this.

[kentran042392]

on 26 seconds is that the thing the boat parks on?

[grumprat]

A bit late but... Its the launch ramp. The boat is kept on its trailer, attached to the tractor, in a boathouse further back from the beach.

[allthat33]

NO ONE CARES

[mably23]

@allthat33 no one cares about you more like! you'd care id they were coming to pull your pussy ass out of the water

[elv444]

Just look at the size of those rollers.. A boat of 7 metres(correct me if im wrong, looks like an atlantic 21) is just not big enough for these seas.. Brave attempt tough!

[elv444]

Respect for those guys! These guys risk there lives because normal civillians run into trouble in these seas..! Although they went over the top, nothing but respect for them!

[DamiansChannel]

Blub, Blub, Blub, Blub.....

[UbuntoO]

Cat Stevens wrote a song about this situation back in the 1970's. It was called "Longer Boats".

[MrDarty]

..god bless those brave guys but how did they get back to shore?

[jacks906]

they'll need the bow to act like that otherwise they'll just get swamped by each breaker or snap the boat

hats off to them tho

[slayed69]

I remeber this day well, many boaters fishing the herne bay angling competition were stuck out in that and many had to beach there boats rather than try to get back to the harbour.

A scary day for many people!

[xDJGejamalrulesx]

Well i race powerboats in england (lowestoft, oulton broad) And when your trying to et somewere quick everything goes to fast for ya to think. like when i barrel rolled it happened just like that ... but im agreeing with readeray and doncarrera with the sitting up front and putting some LEAD in the front of the boat ...

[ProductionDesignrMAX]

You ***DONT*** want "LEAD" in the front of the boat. In heavy weather, when making to weather (as they are) maximum bow bouyancy is necessary. What the pilot needs to do is drop off the face at 30% while dramatically reducing throttle over the top. Its called dodging through the waves

[Wolfiedude101]

Dude, stop acting so much better than the rest of us, no one cares.

[ProductionDesignrMAX]

Im not "better than the rest of you" but from your stupid comment its clear that I am a lot more knowledgeable about boats than you, and if you did not care you would know to shut the fuck up.

[readeray]

I think they should have slowed down when approaching those large breakers, keep enough power to go forward, let the breaker break over the bow and surge forward to get through it.

[readeray]

Second viewing - adding weight forward to surge through the waves. Don't know if possible under those conditions.  Brave people.

[nigelseakayak]

These guys deserve support all the way for risking their own lives trying to save the lives of the helpless. Never takem for saving your life.

God save the kayak

[depechetrader101]

the sea is too rough to drive a RIB

[ngraphic]

They couldn't just sit up the front, they would have gone in by the second wave, so they sit in there seats like they are ment too, RNLI boats are self-righting so they would have all gone back out on the rescue. How dare anyone take the piss of the lifeboat crews, remember they volunteer.

[militaryfirearmsdude]

whos going to rescue the rescue team? any takers

[spookyzoo]

Whitstable lifeboat.  what a bunch of bozos!

[tallt49]

did they all get back ok?

[wwehadcore]

hahaha awesome

[donCarrera]

what a stupid mother fucker.. mainship has right

haha, all they really had to do was sit up front...

[MGTVCL]

Wind got ya bow? Looks like a very hard days work to me!

[mainship40]

haha, all they really had to do was sit up front...

[liam1024]

not as simple as that really lol

[mainship40]

it would have helped

[liam1024]

i dunno, they would have got thrown off before that if the did sit up the front. They have to be seated with their feet in toestraps. The newer boats have ballast tanks in the bow.
