Incredible video, just shows how challenging it is for the pilots to board cargo ships in heavy seas. Really glad that your boats are trying to make the process a bit safer
She's got a very classic prow profile, beautiful bow flares and stakes... Really tosses the water aside, when she's not being buried in a breaker.. She's lovely
Makes me realize why good boats are needed, and brave pilot the world over. Thanks Frank, staff and Pilot's of Cork harbor 👍 Put's seeing ye go out on a calm day (when I'm out) and what you have to endure in the real world into prospective. Cheers Michael
I’d love to see an overview of the boat. This stuff fascinates me. I was lucky enough to go out with the Port Philip Sea Pilots (Victoria, Australia) years ago and it was an awesome experience. Thanks for the great video. 🍺🍺🛥🛥🇦🇺🇦🇺
Desde Punta del Este Uruguay, un saludo para vuestro Astillero y un orgullo para nosotros ver nuestra bandera en una embarcación fabricada por ustedes. Tanta tecnología Irlandesa, gratifica ver que pueda ser para Uruguay. La pregunta es si la embarcación fue pedida por alguna institución uruguaya. Les dejo un grato saludo desde este lugar paradisíaco del Atlántico Sur.
Estimado, la lancha fue encargada por la empresa Newlar de CHR Group, ya está en Uruguay y tiene como base operativa el Puerto del Buceo. Es utilizada para el transporte, embarque y desembarque de los prácticos que guían a los barcos en los puertos del Río de la Plata, Uruguay y Paraná.
I don’t mind spending money on an expedition yacht and a sailing yacht, but not on a day-boat, so I’d buy whatever is available in the market and is mass-produced, and then adapt it to my needs. I had the Safehaven Roll-Over-Righting S.A.R (38, 42 or 48) or the Thunder Child II boat in mind because I wish to survive the worst storms possible and perhaps even accidental strikes with empty floating containers and other debris. I’d like for it to have a shallow draft(3ft to 5-ft) to go up rivers and estuaries. I’d, of course, want a boat with two engines, drive trains, and screws/propellers for redundancy because I wouldn’t want to be left stranded in the sea. I want the boat for an oceanfront ranch in California and a Florida home, just to go out into the ocean for fun for a day or over the weekend, without much preparation) and travel along the coast for around 500 to 700 nautical miles. I’d choose a boat that can seat around 10-14 people and sleep around 4 people on benched couches. I’d typically want a wave piercer with the bow long and raised over the water, so that the bow would pierce through the wave and drag the mid-ship over the crest, before the wave can lift the boat and pitch-pole it from bow to stern. I’d then want the bow to be flared enough to bounce back from a deep trough. I’d also want the stern-hull below the waterline to be shaped, so that till mid-ship a stern wave raises the bow to prevent it from pitch-poling stern to bow, but at mid-ship pushes the bow down to prevent a bow-to-stern pitch pole. If the beam is narrow at the bow and broad at the stern, it should also provide adequate stability against lateral beam waves to prevent it from being rolled over into a capsize. I’d have typically wanted the boat shaped like a sphere, with the internet hull on a gyro stabilizer, so that the internal hull, containing the seating, would remain upright even if the outer hull rolled over numerous times(but that would also requires symmetrical glass windows in the floor) This, though, s too far-fetched, so I’ll make do with whatever is available for now. I’d typically want a steel hull covered with GRP, so it could both withstand impact with debris, containers and floating ice, and yet remain corrosion free, but that is, again, far-fetches, so I’ll make do with whatever is available for now. It would be nice to have solar panels or small horizontal-axis wind turbines for heating, ventilation, communications equipment, a water marker and a stove (just two plates and a microwave for making tea and warming or cooking snacks)
Another configuration would be to have the boat held as firmly as if it were anchored when still, to have the boat plane at higher speeds, and to eventually have the boat hydrofoil at the highest speeds. If you have multiple keels, running as vanes, beneath the hull, stern to bow, and have each around 2ft to 3ft deep, these would keep the boat very steady, when still, and gradually lift up as the boat first planes and then eventually hydrofoils on these vanes, with air pockets between them generating hydrodynamic lift at moderate speeds and aerodynamic lift at high speeds. Now, if you have small segments of underwater wings(running port to starboard), as in the SWATH(Small Water Planing Area Twin Hull) craft, these would provide very good anti-rolling characteristics at low speeds, and eventually also plane at higher speeds. The problem, of course, would be steering the boat, at low speeds, unless you use very large rudders and bow-thrusters. Another problem would be hits with debris and ice and maelstroms.
Great Video Safehaven Marine!! Incredible footage in difficult conditions. Did ye ever lose a drone at sea? And you do your own stunts too! Fantastic boats - really love seeing these at work, continued success to you all.
Safehaven team, good afternoon, although I may never be able to afford the Belgrano waterbeast, I may be able to afford the drone...can I get some info on it please? Thanks a millions, your team makes me smile whilst I whiteknuckle the demonstrations! Simply amazing!
That looks like a dream job, but then you wouldn't get much chance to enjoy it that much as you'd be too busy fighting to control the boat in such big swells. And what's that chap doing with the remote control? Is he controlling another boat rigged for remote control?
Interestingly this is posted on the week of the 81st anniversary of the sinking of the Graf Spee in the River Plate in December 1939 -the first great Royal Navy victory of the Second World war ( what the ROI called " the Emergency " )
Frank you should get Nick from Aquaholic to do a video tour of some of your boats and take him on some sea trials. Have you seen his channel? ruclips.net/user/AQUAHOLIC
Amazing boats. Every coast guard vessel in the world should be built by you guys. These are possibly the most seaworthy boats in existence. Well done!
Lkllk
Kkkkk
O
Safahaven Marine is simply THE BEST boat builder in the world !
Love from Italy 💖

She's got a very classic prow profile, beautiful bow flares and stakes... Really tosses the water aside, when she's not being buried in a breaker.. She's lovely
Congratulations from a Canadian Shipbuilder looks like she will handle the demands hope you have more on the books
Excellent video Frank - thank you for letting us see what these machines are capable of!
Makes me realize why good boats are needed, and brave pilot the world over.
Thanks Frank, staff and Pilot's of Cork harbor 👍
Put's seeing ye go out on a calm day (when I'm out) and what you have to endure in the real world into prospective.
Cheers

Fantastic stuff Frank and team :) what a serious boat. New fender and access are great.
Absolutely love these capable machines.
Nothing but awesomeness!
Fabulous boats, Safehaven. Interceptor Dive boat so good.
Fantastic video!! A real boat!!👍👍
Superbly maneuverable. Nice boat.
Thanks for flying our flag. Looks beautiful on a beautiful vessel.
Amazing performance! (and seamanship!)
Amazing mr

Que hermosura contar con ese barco de bandera uruguaya; gracias !
great video Frank... "I got a bit wet there :-) " brilliant conditions for sure
Unas imágenes espectaculares!

Gracias y a disfrutar esa maravilla náutica.
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. This gentleman truly believes in his products, and they deliver every single time!
Haha frank I can see you just love sea trials haha you have the same look as we do when we started running crew boats.
That is one badass boat I don't know about the driver but that boat is badass
Fantastic!
Nice bit of Piloting there
Wow such a great vedio
Frank I would love to go out in one of your boats.
You guys are some badass men STAY SAFE

What do you think about the No Limits boats. They are a pilot boat design made into sweet yachts.
Like the last comment it would be really cool if you could do walk throughs of the vessels so we could see the cabins. Thanks
amazing
Great Video Safehaven Marine!! Incredible footage in difficult conditions. Did ye ever lose a drone at sea? And you do your own stunts too! Fantastic boats - really love seeing these at work, continued success to you all.
Didn’t the last Belgrano sink?
Always MY Best
Safehaven team, good afternoon, although I may never be able to afford the Belgrano waterbeast, I may be able to afford the drone...can I get some info on it please? Thanks a millions, your team makes me smile whilst I whiteknuckle the demonstrations! Simply amazing!
oui.. vraiment excellent.
Why was this job never mentioned at career day in high school?
Which drone is that you use?, I like the recovery method !!!
Pretty sure it’s a DJI Mavic, not sure which model.
Its a Mavic 2 Zoom, great little drone
What a life, what a job...
You ever need passenger's for ballast during these sea trials il gladly travel up from kerry
Here is a Shout Out to Frank from South Africa. We Love You.
Que barco forte.👏👏👏👏
Steady enough to repaint the names on the ships. Did you bring an artist?
Are there ever any pilots lost doing ship to ship transfers?
Safehaven marin prof. Pilot Bu işi biliyorsunuz
Do these boats have gyro or seakeeper stabilizers?
You build good boats!
Simply the best...
Well if I ever need a Pilot boat I know where I'll be going.
Music name ?
Hi Frank, Roches Point too Blackrock Castle with "TC 2" ?????????????????????????????????? ( ye would pass my house :) :) :) )
Here, happy Christmas.
That looks like a dream job, but then you wouldn't get much chance to enjoy it that much as you'd be too busy fighting to control the boat in such big swells. And what's that chap doing with the remote control? Is he controlling another boat rigged for remote control?
how much does it cost?

It started out good until the awful music was playing.
Then I stopped watching. FAIL THUMB DOWN.
I liked the music.
