But a 22 foot runabout would be GREAT in those conditions, huh idiot?


"Violent storm force 11 with Hurricane wind speeds of 85kts. 20ft
seas. An Interceptor 55 sea trialed of Cork Harbour, Atlantic coast."


Bad place to pronounce that it failed.


Must be a big ship taking the side views.


The link is to a video of a pilot boat. Not that it matters.

I think he is talking about where the camera was located.
Since it is not moving I bet they were taken from shore or a gyro
stabilized camera in a helicopter.
I have spent a lot of time in the North Atlantic and I can say a 311'
Coast Guard cutter (WAVP) gets tossed around pretty badly. I can't
imagine what happens in a flats boat.- Hide quoted text -

Wonder how a "22 foot runabout" would fair in those seas?!
