We English delude ourselves we are a nautical race .

And we all spew ... together !

I feel sick just watching the video lol

[crashinator1001]

my trip on an iow ferry was good because it was calm until we had to leave back for southampton then it got very choppy and it made me feel sea sick

[krisztianhaines]

Definitely C Class. for me easily recognisable - the poster who mentions the white frames - suggest you look at pictures of the three ships, white frames they indeed do have. Sorely missed, much better fun crossing on than the new ones. Caedmon rattled like hell.

I live on the Isle of Wight and go on Wightlink a lot. Yes they do sail in Force 9 wind, it isn't that bad. The Wightlink ferries never stop. Only the hovercraft or Wighlink Fastcat stop at that wind.

[BillyClyro]

This makes me ill just watching it!

[EastMidlandsSteam]

i think they rock like hell never like them =P and i have to go on 1 in 6 weeks =[

[Dante1Savage]

this aint bad mate. Last week on the fast cat was mayhem when we docked at the pier the boat tied up had nowhere to go and was repeatedly getting smashed into the side and the crew had to rush to release it. The jouney was bad as well rough as i had ever experienced and at the docking you couldn't stand or 100% you would fall.

[minitrundle]

i went on that boat

[andymitch12345]

That's NOTHING. I get that ferry twice a day to college it was force 11 the other week in that big storm! This does not deserve to be on youtube! Pathetic!

[jamierouseiscool]

that was lame and shit and a waste of life

[murrayfortescue]

That is very incitful. Thanks for popping by.

[dave93p]

Rough but doesn't look anything like force 9

[ferrynut]

I think this is one of the 'C' class ferry which serves the Lymington to Yarmouth route. (Cenwulf or Cenred or Caedmon)

[andymitch12345]

yeh it is

[gobake1]

this is not an iow ferry - red funnel or wightlink do not have a white frame as this one. also you would from the direction it is facing either s'hampton/portsmouth or the iow. also iow ferries would not sail in a force 9 gail

[murrayfortescue]

Not that it particularly matters, but it is an IOW ferry. Yarmouth to Lymington, and they regularly sail in a force 9 gale. Apart from that you are nearly right.

[1672matt]

@murrayfortescue Damned right it is

[TheExplosivesTrio]

This is an IOW Ferry, its Wightlink, I know I work for them! We regulary sail in anything up to and including a Force 9 gale, which is good thinking that the boats are flat bottomed and are designed for river work (which the Solent is really).

[spongersurfer]

@gobake1 Isle of Wight ferries do run in force 9 gales because i have been in one myself, and you can actually see that it says "Wightlink" on the sign when the clip zooms in slightly! Also you can see its a Yarmouth-Lymington boat because of the layout of it!

[LifeOnMars1981Jane]

@gobake1 I live on the Isle of Wight... not been on the Yarmouth-Lymington Ferry but THEY DO SAIL in force 9 gails!!! They can cope with anything... it takes a lot for them to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions!!

[1672matt]

@gobake1 You talk s**t. This is defo Wightlink

[megashorts]

this is not bad really because the ferry has support at the bottom i when on a fastcat in force 6 gale(not so much as yours) and that is worst

[digicam11]

bloody hell i have made bigger waves in the BATH

[adaminnit11]

yer, but those things are flat bottomed surely? smack that....

[doogle322]

lol the yarmouth-lymington ferry rocks....literially!lol

[acasualobserver]

That's nothing. Try being in the North Atlantic during a force 10 storm!

[Dax79]

Sucks don't it!!! eating is fun to!!!
