WHERE ARE THE BIG WAVES?
@Yacht Bouy can I share this vid 2 @Solent Ships plz
I kept waiting to hear; ''self-righting'' ,
does it have that feature?
Someone needs to get this boat over to haulover inlet
I’m up for it 🌊🌊🌊🌊
I would go watch that. Waves coming in and this monster coming out. I’ll bring popcorn for it
It could do circles at haulover and it’s only competition would be the “Green Top Legend” 🚤 lol
Haha I was just thinking that. I wanna see this thing go full speed on a crazy rough day right through Haulover.
It's a 70ish foot boat. That large a vessel makes any inlet in Florida a piece of cake!!
As a former tall ship sailor and trawlerman I am in absolute awe of this vessel. Gorgeous and capable she takes my breath away.
Love that boat, been following these guy's for a few years but what strikes me is how stable the drone fotage is in the same conditions.
In fairness the drone isn't crashing through the waves. High winds, sure, but a high quality one with a good gimbal system for the camera and a gyroscope for the drone it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Considering what boat cost I'm sure they either invested in a high end one or hired a professional film crew with top notch equipment. Definitely wasn't your average $500 consumer drone. 👍🍻
I don't normally like "speed" boats but this boat is the exception that proves the rule. She is beautiful and watching her taking on heavy seas is awesome. Thanks for bringing Thunder Child II to your chanel.
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment 🙌
There were ships of shapes and sizes
Scattered out along the bay
And I thought I heard her calling
As the steamer pulled away
The invaders must have seen them
As across the coast they filed
Standing firm between them
There lay Thunder Child
Moving swiftly through the waters
Cannons blazing as she came
Brought a mighty metal warlord
Crashing down in sheets of flame
Sensing victory was nearing
Thinking fortune must have smiled
People started cheering
"Come on, Thunder Child!"
"Come on, Thunder Child!"
Would have loved to see some inside video when they were doing their trials.
Great work sir. Excellent video. Well done.
Best regards from County Cork, Ireland, the home of the Thunder Child 2 factory, Safe Haven Marine.
No, I'm not involved in the factory. I just live in the same county, in Ireland.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :-)
@@YachtBuoy Thank you very much. 👍
Gawd that makes my back hurt just watching! BEAUTIFUL boat, but I couldn't handle the impacts.
Check out the video at 7:03.
I have followed this project since it was unveiled! Even now this is something quite special☺️
It really is!
Now that is a superboat. Not because I'm a Cat fan, but becuase it's a brilliant combo for what goes on at sea.
Very true! A powerboat made for rough weather 🌊🌊
This is the ultimate boat to get. Beautiful and mega sea worthy 😍
I hope none one is on the crapper. That would be messy
I watched Tristan's trip on that boat a while back. I know he was feeling under the weather with a flu or something but he got some great footage. It's an awesome, awesome boat.
Dang it's the freaking space shuttle! I want one!!!! Wish you would do videos instead of just pictures.. I am old now and moving pictures fascinate me ;-) But John that was the most exciting boat I have seen on any channel.. With my wife being sick since March I just haven't had the time to play with this stupid box that brings me such good stuff. oh yeah .I guess they call it a computer.. Well I knew it would come to me.. thanks for the great time son.. I do enjoy your channel a lot.. carry on.. be safe and for goodness sake have fun!
Haha, thanks for the comment. I always prefer videos like this - where I can actually get on board and shoot my own footage - so hopefully there will be more videos like this to come. I hope your wife gets better soon; please send her my best wishes
@@YachtBuoy thanks brother.. we can use it..
Great boat.And the record they are going to break is who can burn the most fuel.
On SS Nevasa, engine room fires were a common occurence, usually lagging fires on the HP turbines!
4 big cats with a body to match, safe (almost), up against nature. it’s rich, beautifully engineered, pushing the boundaries, it’s quite marvelous.
🙌
Incredible engineering in this boat. It will be interesting to see how it’s incorporated into private yachts 🍻
There's a company out there offering *hydrofoil yachts!*
A good rescue craft! Thank you. Enjoy our beautiful Ocean Planet.
Thanks for watching :-)
In the marine world, certain vessel names are sacrosanct; in the powerboat world, Thunderchild is one of those, it is a special, evocative name and is not a name one uses lightly. However, it it is completely appropriate in this case; Thunderchild II is a work of the boatbuilder's art. She is the very epitome of what a large, fast powerboat should be.
I've been in this game, on and off for some 40-odd years and IMHO, Safehaven produce the best sub-100-foot rough weather craft in the world and if you disagree, bite me.
For those who do not understand, her 6G operational limits are equal to what a lot of aerobatic aircraft are rated at . . . think about it . . .
"Who would not want to be a member of Thunderchild's crew?" A lot of people I dare say would not want to be crew on Thuderchild but then, they don't really count, do they?
Aircraft g loading has no direct comparison to anything on a boat.
I wasn't a boat guy before watching this video, but you bet I am now! That's seriously impressive
This boat is an excellent way to ‘enter’ the baiting world 🙌
30 foot seas out there it was so fun at the Helm but definitely scary
Such a perfect coastal patrol coast guard vessel :)
When I was a kid (12 or so - 57 now) I built a model boat with a hull about as near to this design as it could be. The damned thing handled so well and went so fast, I'm not surprised by the capabilities of the full size boat. Funny. I'm Irish too. Must be in the blood.
I know NOTHING about boats but I found this fascinating! I'm a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! 🫡🙌
I guess this is BEST for people who never get seasick. Maybe it can also be use in un-manned mode with remote control.
You have to have sea in your blood to take her on.
That's a beautiful and well thought out boat.
she sure is :-)
Now this is a true martian destroyer
I want to go for a round the world trip on that so bad!!!
Now THAT'S a boat. G'day John. That episode has come out of left field. Love to see its performance down here south of Nz in the roaring 40s and furious 50s. Heading to the sub Antarctic Islands. Gets pretty gnarly down there. Or Cape Horn. However I'm still sold on "Just B" that you covered a while ago. Thank you for sharing. Take care mate.
Thanks for watching 🙌 glad you enjoyed the vid 👍 who knows, she might end up down that way some day 🌎
Looks like a beast of a machine.
She handles it well what a cool boat!🛥
She sure does! Thanks for watching!
Thank you 🙏 ⛵⛴️🛥️🚁🚤🚢 great 👍 idea 💡
Check out the USCG 47 footer. It doesn't have to be funky looking to survive rogue waves
I cant stop staring at the water rushing over the front; beautifully engineered.
Take it to the Columbia River Bar. Lets see that!
It's a knife in the water 🤩❤️🔥👍
That's amazing, it's like a motorized surfboard but whit a cabin :D Amazing!!
Greetings from Indonesia, Maluku, Aru Islands
Thank you for the video. I like that the ship is designed for extreme seas
Thanks for watching!
@@YachtBuoy Thank you again seniors
Those SHOXS seats are bananas!!!!!! Their website has a list of all the military and law enforcement that uses them, it's LONG!!! Everyone here in Canada, same with the US except the Marines, didn't see them on the list HAHAHAHAHA!
They are not cheap either 😱
Param olsa kesinlikle bu çılgın şeyi alırdım 😊
I am terrified of “boats” but would go out in heavy seas in that beast!👍
She is spectacular
It appears that a key element in the boats design is in the shape and weight of the bottom , which would add a tremendous amount of stability.
What a beast!
I would love to see this thing rip through haulover
show the locals how's it really done lol
So would i.
I want one!
I like how they even had plaque with a Martian tripod on it.
Let's hope this beautiful boat doesn't suffer the same fate its namesake did. ;)
Lol!😁👽✌
Ullaa
It's interesting how the front part of hanging over the water.
Amazing boat awesome to see it going through the waves not that I would go on it to rough the sea
It almost feels like this boat wants you to power it through the waves 😍 Safehaven Marine have done an incredible job
Paar duizend beloodsingen gedaan.
Deze tender lijkt mij totaal ongeschikt.
Tender moet bij 4 knopen stabiel zijn en moet rompstabiliteit hebben.
En rustig liggen.
Mensen werken er dag en nacht op. Comfor dus noodzaak.
Bij de eerste tender de Voyager werdt ook de electronica stuk gevaren.
Vermogen en speed is fool speed.
Thunder child 2 should be used as a search and rescue boat just think of all the good things are good day to find people lost at sea during massive storms
I agree, but i do not think she would go down a slip like the lifeboats do, but as you say WOW.
what a beauty........
🙌
She'd b a crowd puller at Southampton International Boat Show
Amazing vessel!
Some heavy metal music might have been more appropriate during the heavy seas montage instead of dainty piano music 😉
I can’t help it - I find that kind of chop quite relaxing lol
Another awesome video old chap 🙂 Keep them coming, you'll be at 100k before you know 👍
Thank you sir 🫡
Beautiful boat
I'm going to start a GoFundMe because this boat will save my life! because I can't resist my attraction to the ocean
😂🙌
Nobody has said - how much does it cost ???
this boat is amazing
Hello Lake Superior in November.
Absolute !!! Genius!!! No nonsence!!! Bad ass boat!!!
What a beating! You can get that for far less!
I went through swells and waves like that and bigger in a 29 ft sailboat in a storm on lake Michigan. Now that was impressive. The fact that I am able to even give you this message today after that is quite astounding
The only thunder child I know is the one that took down the Martions 😤 ( ngl this ship is cool af )
It would be interesting to see it in real seas
Управляемость,мощность двигателей,конструктивные особенности создают хорошую остойчивость.
🫡
What a beating.
Really spectacular shots cruise tru wawes
They truly are!
@@YachtBuoy the shots going in bad weather jumping in one second the all boat is completely in air ... cool
14 knots she would can Through that swell perfectly without all that spray gun over the top of her, she’s going to fast through the waves brilliant Boat excellent design. I always like the Nelson for a seagoing vessel, but this out does that by far
The Nelson is a fantastic boat 🙌
@@YachtBuoy definitely one of the best 👍
I’m not normally a boat guy but that rear shot in dry dock got me feeling some type of way… like I’m looking at an aquatic DeTomaso Pantera. It’s beautifully purposeful
You had me at FRP hull.
I’m very surprised to see the steps in the hull, along the keel of that bow section!
Thanks!
Thanks for the SuperThanks! I appreciate it!
This is exactly what we need to break the American record from Maine to Miami and I'm sure with the right setup it can be done???.
Rafnar + Thunderchild = next gen? Anyone?
🙋🏻♂️
And it's yellow!!!!😁😁😁😁
🙌
This boat looks alive!
When those engines are fired up it sounds like she is alive
Nice.
Love the color.
It’s definitely eye catching, that’s for sure.
it's more of a trimaran than a catamaran
Looks like it has a tough time of small waves. Like a video game boat for want to bes
I get sea sick in like 15mins and it doesnt stop until im back on land for an hour or two.
I’ve sailed through these waters. But not like that! Lol
Excellent commentary 👌
It's the bow and hull that's matter.. It cuts the water like a knife.. Surely this Hull could be a catamaran or even a trimaran and utilised on much larger vessels
A nice safety boat
Thats really cool
Take that to Hsulover inlet.
"Ooooohhh noo, and theyve stuffed it!!!" -boats vs haulover
I love Thunder Child, I watched it since Thunder Child I, I really hope to have one so I can often visit my mother who lives on a small island ... can this be privately owned sir?
It was built by Safehaven Marine in Ireland. She is currently under private ownership 🫡
She’s a beautiful design.
Dose she run on jets or props??❤❤❤
Wave piercing props 🙌
@@YachtBuoy so why not electric jets?
Cut down on weight.???
All vessels has a breaking point I'm wondering where this one's at forepeak midship or stern most new offshore oil& gas field crew boats I've worked on breaking was midship after a 3 month long beating but still stayed healthy and of course they're aluminum haul boats which is over 100 footers the biggest crew boat I was on is 165 footer powered with 4 3412 cats 35 knots it was one of the fastest in the gulf of Mexico. Now the boat that's in the video taking a beating I wouldn't be sleeping on it unless it was calm or at the dock lol
They really missed an awesome opportunity to install a built in bow camera looking down at the knife edge
Not sure that Tristan fella is that nice a guy 😉
Thank you so much for doing this.
😊🙏
😂 next time I see you we will have to go for a beer and exchange sea stories 😂🍻 good luck for tomorrow 🤞 I will see you all as you pass sea reach number 7 🫡
An awesome piece of nautical technology in Thunder Child II!! I like all the redundancies and safety aboard her, and as a Canadian I can tell you we know a bit about large waves and nasty seas so I'm glad they went with SHOXS seats! I couldn't help but notice what I think are hydrofoil tabs in her tunnel, are they for lift or stability, or both? I wish them the very best on their record attempt from London to Monaco!!
I'd like to see a boat like that but with gigantic hydrofoils that allow it to rise above all of the waves.
wow!
It's amazing
