People find it hard to understand that when you turn the wheel, the boat pivots from around the middle and wants to slew sideways. The helm's biggest mistake was to hit full throttle, it never helps.
@@dashcamuk23 lol. Point taken. However, laughing at someone who is clearly incompetent and about to run into another boat is not really a laughing matter. I have never driven one of these boats on the Norfolk Broads, but they seem to handle like a truck until the driver gets used to them. My sailing experience was on my twenty four foot yacht on Sydney harbour where things could happen very quickly, especially over the weekend.
I fail to see what is so amusing. That's a hire boat (most likely) and it's now damaged, well, two hire boats damaged. The people steering it (lunatics) will just head off home at the end of the hire and the boat owners will have the damage to deal with. Not only that, someone might have been hurt.... Annoying behaviour it is, funny it is not.
Not quite 98%, there is some good quality stuff on RUclips unfortunately the rubbish some people put on get the attention of sad people with no humour 😢
These are the type of people instead of calling the emergency services will pick up their mobile to film... clearly money to hire a premium cruiser cant buy you common sense.
@dashcamuk23 that's veiws you berk 😄😄😄😄 not how many found it funny... thats like saying 46k watched it and didn't find it funny enough to comment... what an utter 🤡
@@dashcamuk23 He must have got a relative then because Dancing Light behaved similarly nearly taking out a Woodie at St Bennetts , came past far too fast and no control. Fish tailed until went crashing into the opposite bank. Had it come our way it would have taken out several boats. We saw them later in the week, still going like mad.
Fairly certain that the boat that was all over the river was Dancing Light from Herbert Woods. Emerald Light is an old Connoisseur style centre cockpit craft.
We all react differently. Nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing but something was very wrong. A mechanical problem seems unlikely. People sometimes hire totally unsuitable boats, especially the very elderly. I've seen 3 families sharing a boat for a booze cruise. Booze is a big problem on all boats. Two ships collided on a nearby river, - one sank,- because its crew were so sozzled. Having a giggle is great. Drowning people, not so good. And that was the risk....
its only funny to watch from a distance lol. if I was getting hit by the idiot and I owned the my own boat then of course we don't see the humor in it. Funny when its some other knob though lol
Probably deliberate by the looks of things and could land the 'master' (ie whoever is at the helm) in court, there were children on the bow of the vessel. Irresponsible beyond belief and no defence whatsoever.
Jeez! Can you imagine living next door to these people? As has already been stated someone could get hurt in a situation like this. Wouldn't mind betting that if there was an incident these type of people wouldn't help and would just motor past. Grow up!
What did you expect them to do in this situation? Swim over with the inflatable lifeboat and stop the collision? You don't know the people so I suggest you stop casting aspersions
The forced laughter was pathetic!
How the fuck is that accident funny?
"That made my day"
Unbelievable ignorance! 😢
Thanks for your comments... It's a shame you are wrong
@@dashcamuk23 you sound like a total twat mate.
This isn't funny, absolutely terrible behaviour
Blimey.. sorry captain pugwash
Are they tacking?
No they're Twatting
The irritating laughing at something that wasn’t very funny is of concern (not to mention, juvenile).
Your Mrs found it funny...

Not funny. You guys need to grow up.

Sorry but you're wrong...
I think that boat would do a better job steering itself. The person operating it probably thought he was still in a car trying to correct oversteer
Well you're all muppets, stay to the right using the contours of the river to let others overtake in the centre. 🙄
some people just shouldnt be on the broads...
I hope the boat that was crashed into phoned the boat yard of the boat that crashed into them and reported it
What “f” is funny about that
Have you had a labotomy?
Nothing funny at all. As funny as a car crash.
That can be funny in some circumstances.. this is one of them
You and your friends certainly have. 🖕
Captain dullard speaks up.
Classic...what a numpty. Thanks for the laugh x
You are welcome
Was the Caprain drunk?
I don`t remember a slalom course on the broads.
You should never fly the Union Flag (Jack) from a boat
Why not?
@@dashcamuk23 Apparently only Royal Navy ships are allowed to fly the Union flag, other UK vessels should fly the Red Duster,
Seems a bit overkill lol
Who's going to care? We flew a Pirate flag on the River Ant for over 20 minutes.
@@dashcamuk23 You could actually be fined for flying a union flag instead of the red ensign.
Whoever rents these boats out are responsible no pre trading even if it’s for just a couple of hours
The soundtrack made this video so much better
It’s like something out of a carry on boating movie
What happens when people don't have a clue About boats.. Maybe stick to a butlins holiday next time 😂😂
Yep. More money than sense.
You can't drive a red coat
This is hilarious. Watching some div who clearly shouldn't be in charge of anything mechanical, let alone a boat is pathetic.

Stupid laughing at what could be an accident waiting
Not sure why those videoing this crazy behaviour thought it was funny. That boat collision could have caused serious injuries and boat damage.
You've literally just written off 98% of RUclips with this comment

Thats about how I drive never have a hand on the tiller usually doing sowt else though always notice before a collision
he was having a heart attack,
Nah just a div
Too much power as always, why don't hirers train them properly. I have to drive on the same water as these idiots very worrying.
They were on the weed by the sound of that.
He was tying his shoe laces heh!

Why laugh at someone else’s misfortune? You people laughing need to grow up I bet you think you’re perfect at everything you do!
@@colineastwood7005 no... But unlike you we have a sense of humour
Crumbs, first time I've ever seen that happen. I understand that the yard give some tuition before handover... so, erm, I wonder if he took it all in.
I hired a 40' boat years ago - the instruction was practically non existent.
5 mins of instruction on a straight bit of river is practically pointless
