Don't think that's Dave's Solent is it? I wouldn't like to risk mine in those conditions, handling it very well though. I bet the crewmen on deck are feeling a bit green! Dave.  :o

Thats not choppy, ran a 60" Tribal Class Destroyer in a Force 7, wouldn't recommend it more than once though! I was in company with a 96" WWI HMS Invincible Battlecruiser at the time. Now that was impressive in a beam sea!

Hello, Had my inch to the foot Arun on Kielder Water in a force 7, when half of the boat is out of the water you know it is rough.
        And it was dry inside, Nemesis

If someone slowed down the playback speed of the video it would look very realistic ok2

Hi

This is my Solent Class Lifeboat and the crew were perfectly fine.  The footage has not been speeded up its just that they were short fast waves.  Always use it in choppy conditions as that was what it was designed to do.    O0

Glad you enjoyed the video if you want to see some photo's of it look at:-
