I went out to Rum and Canna and the normal ferry was being repaired and the replacement was a 30 foot boat! The sea was pretty rough especially on the way back and every time a wave hit, which was about every 2 seconds for an hour and a half, I thought the boat was going to disintegrate! The boat took an absolute smashing. God bless who ever built it!
Ah the replacement boat was probably the Eigg. Tiny little vessel. She was one of eight Island Class vessels based on the design of wartime tank landing craft.
Been onboard Lochnevis several times. Meanwhile, passengers with sea legs can enjoy tea, coffee, bacon rolls, full Scottish breakfast, or CalMac's finest... macaroni cheese. Just keep hold of your cup & plates. Never had any problems travelling with Caledonian MacBrayne, aside from the odd bad weather or tech delay. Stuff happens; it's part of their territory.
Nothing wrong with pitch motions - it is what I would expect of a ship of that length is seas like that. No indication of angle of heel, however, and I would expect that to be uncomfortable. The behaviour of a ship in open water is not necessarily the limiting factor for a ferry. The most difficult conditions might be the approach to harbour because shallow water magnifies waves, and berthing in strong side winds.
Hello, I am currently working on a production by IWC Media and we are potentially interested in using this clip for a broadcast we’re working on. Can I check if you own the footage or could supply any details of who does? Thanks
@@sgaorishal Hello, my name is Rob and I'm a Production Coordinator for IWC Media. My colleague above is off this week and I'm filling in for her. Would you be able to supply me with an email address to get in touch with you? Or even update your "About" section on youtube with a contact link. Cheers!
They were talking about using this boat on the Colonsay run a few years a go. Two hours on a ferry like this in the weather they get out there! No thanks.

Ugh....feel giddy just watching it.

Stormy?

Smaller boat means lower speed so would be more like 2 and a half to 3 hours.
That’s very rough
And...???
She's down by the bows. Loading is wrong.
Couldn’t agree more
Poxy little boat....a real ship would find that ripple sea smooth.
Anything bigger wouldn't get into the Small Isle ports she was specifically designed for.
