Liferaft test - life inside a liferaft

The November issue of YM contains advice on how to cope with life in a liferaft.

Before putting pen to paper, technical editor Chris Beeson took a yacht from La Rochelle into the Biscay swell, and with winds reaching Force 7, he jumped off the boat and into a four-man liferaft. YM's happy snapper Graham Snook was on hand to get the pics and took the video camera along too.

The footage from onboard the liferaft is truly stomach-turning.

Eliminated by your mother's cooking? That is scary... but not impossible :-) LOL

@tubeli99 Pathetic cowards who feel fearless behind screens need to be eliminated and youtube's community will be 150% better. That pretty much summed up your character =D

The part where your mother starts cooking.

it was ment to be 24hours but they could not hack it. the last place you want to be is in a life raft.
