  • I have noticed a low tone like a horn or a blare in many of the videos. Is this the horn of the vessel, or a way to signal the vessel to turn or change direction? Or just a sound effect? It can be heard at 2:09

  • The video's are taken from cliffs by a lighthouse, and its this ighthouse that you hear sounding its fog horn during storms with bad visibility.

  • who helmed the Gleann Mor, impressive boat handling

  • Connie and Keith

  • It was done on Sunday 11th at 10-11am. It was recording 46kts at Roches light house. There were some big seas there, breaking heavily at the mouth. I got hit by a few good ones, the one at the end certainly focused the mind! Took a few beam on whilst recording the onboard footage which caused a few moments, but the boats shrugged it all off no problem.

  • having owned small boats in the past , in sissy weather compared to this,, the fun part of this weather is when your craft catches a wave and surfs on top of the wave, ive done it many times, but nothing like these craft, man to keep into the waves and steer,, seems very scary, much respect to the pilots !!!!

  • wow!

  • Try doing this stuff in a 8M moderate V RIB or tubular alloy, it would knock your teeth out

  • over paid fuckers.

  • i have noticed that the smaller interceptors with the yellow cabon handle better and go harder in the rough conditions!

  • Holy sheet there a dude standing at the stern @ 2:35 He was like weeeeeeeee!

  • That must be funny :)

  • that sound at 2:09 may be fog sound from the lighthouse near by

  • just read an article about these guy`s in this weeks motor boat magazine can`t wait for the documentery to come out.
