I've spent the last 25 years on the water, and I'd never seen a boat that can handle that kind of sea that easily. Great job of steering, of course, but that's one seriously impressive boat.
I have watched this video at least a half dozen times. I am mesmerized by it. I would have paid good money to be on that boat with that captain. What a memory that would make.
@claysurfer78 All this of course depends on which of the Great Lakes your talking about. for instance on Lake Erie it is not the size of the waves rather its the frequency of them. Very violent storms. Lake Erie is shallow when compared to other lakes, only about 210ft deep. The " Big Lake they call Gitche Gumee", now thats a different story. Until you actually experience horrible storms on these lakes Its difficult to understand. After seven years of service on Lake Erie, I have great respect
A really nice educational video on how boats react to waves. Now I understand why heaving to has always historically been an effective sailing vessel tactic, you can see that if he charges head on to the waves the keel slams hard against the water and rattles the whole thing, while taking a heaving-to angle to the wave makes the boat roll off them smoothly. Seeing how stable that boat was, I think the commander was just having fun, it's educational because you can see how the boat takes different angles.
What a vessel, in 47 years at sea I've seen pilot vessels in very heavy seas many times, she is a credit to her builders and the person that was handling her in those conditions.Difficult to estimate the wave height from the video but 8 metres could be an over estimate
Great job by the operator of the Pilot boat did a remarkable job of not plowing the bow under when dropping off the top of waves. Excellent control of speed enough to get over waves then pull back to keep from sticking the bow in the through. He rarely missed any about as good as anyone could do
Thanks for posting this video. I've often wondered what it would be like to be on such a small boat in such big waves, and this provides about the most movement one can get in a boat big enough to carry a useful load. That's a tough little boat, which would make it a total blast to play with in such heavy surf, as long as you did not have to actually do anything, like rescue someone, requiring going out into that weather. Now, THAT would be hair-raising.
LOL when I saw Irish Sea in the more info I laughed. That sea will spank the crap out of you any day of the week and I sailed it every day 20 years ago. Thanks for posting true vid of this sea and what it can throw at you.
Excellent, ive seen photos of this in various boat magazines but just stumbled across the actual footage, definatley a case of the boat can handle it but can the crew all involved done superb job, well done those men
Wow..seriouse impression on me. What a stunning job..well done to the very professional crew (I won’t mind going to see with this crew that can handle this type of ruff sea :). Very nice boat indeed..well build and very balanced. I appreciate this video.
Good Lord. I´m a sailor since 1984 and I doubt if I would dare to be present in such a trial. Can´t they test the boat in a big pool with wave machines??? Ok, I´m not being serious. My deepest respect to those seamen!!!!!
People are working hard to support their family and live with dignity. GOD bless you ALL and everyone who make an effort to leave their homes every morning to earn a happy living for their families. GOD BLESS
I marvel on same thing too.. today I just had a rough boat ride, huge waves for only 15 minutes but I already feared being capsized. I can't imagine what the guys in this video is experiencing inside the boat.. wow, it must be totally unbelievable.
These are some GREAT built boats- will NEVER let you sink if all openings are sealed and they have a distress system JUST in case it does not recover from right side up (highly unlikely) but things do happen. These boats have FULL scuba equipment onboard to keep the crew alive in extreme cases until help arrives if needed?
Un par de veces me paso lo mismo cuando estaba en la mar trabajando, es alucinante ver que las olas levanten tu embarcación como un pedaso de madera, y mucho peor es aún cuando estás con pesca
yeah nothing like when that boat goes downnnnnnnnnnn holding ur breath looking up w/wall of water so friggin high ....on all sides ...oh and the boat shoots back up like lightning ....wow ...now this is high....on top of monster swell...cool!!!
this was a demo for boat builder. a good one too. as a boat operator myself I see it was a relatively benign event. boat under control at all times. not taking green water over the bow really. many pilot boats transit rough seas close to shore before reaching calmer seas beyond. where the ships are running. good advertisement.
Wow, rockin'n'rollin' ! Love the music, however MIssion impossible describes it better! I worked on a ship for 5 yrs and I loved ups and downs, as big as this! People shouting out at the same time Yippppppppi, like on a rollercoaster! :) Reminds me of the South-China Sea....Love the video!
I assume that for the crew," it was another day under the sun!" I would be shitless dead afraid crying to be home. At first I couldn´t understand wy they were going out to sea, until the turning manouver. Impressive footage.
@TheMorenita2010 This boat isn't for fishing or lobsters. It takes harbor pilots to inbound ships so they can be navigated into the inland waters safely. Conversely, it goes and takes the pilot off the outbound ships when the ship has reached the open ocean. Those trips are made, night and day, good weather and bad...
This boat is build to take on any seas... as long as the skipper keeps the nose into the waves the worst that can happen is someone getting sea sick... nevertheless it takes a lot of courage and skill to be out there in this weather..
and93hil Agreed. Force 8. Bad enough! People fool themselves. A big swell does not mean a storm, which is wind force. Often there is a big swell from a storm 3 days ago 500 miles away. Couple this to a local Force 8 wind and a good soundtrack and wow, we have Force 10. It's also two videos - one out at sea and the other in shelving water entering a port or river. But it's a well-filmed promotional video. Hope they sell plenty!
@dlbuffmovie. Unfortunally due to the conditions- 60kts of wind and driving rain 50% of the footage was unusable due to camera shake, loss of focus, rain on lens etc so all I could do was piece together the best sections where the footage was clear. Taking video in these conditions is not easy.
The UK lifeboat system is the rolled gold system in the world. They go out in anything. And when combined with Navy its incredible. WE sent some Navy people from OZ to the UK to see the system and it will be modified to suit our requirements. THose lifeboats sport 2x1000hp MTU diesels. The problem we have is the distances here aound our coast and getting heli that have enought range. A rescue could be a 1500km round trip. So what we are doing is having a refuelling point provided by a Frigate. The cost is horrendous. Rescued people are now having to contribute to the cost.
This reminds me of the US Coast Guard boats practicing maneuvers in the really violent surf of the Columbia bar off Cape Disappointment in Washington State.
Those pilot boats have those 4 click seat belts plane pilots use. Amazing riding those beasts in a storm. But the music belongs in the bottom off the deepest point in the sea.
we windsurf in these conditions on the north sea and I know for ships its scary way more then for surfers as we go fast, really fast and we can pick where we go through the waves and so we have more control.
Tough boat and crew handles it skillfully, quartering waves rather than hitting them at 90 deg. But why were they out in this? Was it a rescue? Training?
And they were obviously doing this just for fun! You don't turn around and play with the waves when you have a charter! Nice boat sir, in those seas you need it.
I can't understand how anything can be built to withstand such a constant and vicious pounding. How heavy equipment (engines, generators, driveshafts, props) can remain secured in place in something bouyant enough to still float in such brutal conditions is beyond me.
@frankwildcat your correct. i dont understand your statement regarding to boating on lakes then. i believed you were drawing a correlation between safety and lake boating...i wasnt correct?

When you have faith in the boat you built . What better way to prove It.
This makes us appreciate just how brave these men are when they set out to save our lives! Bless you all

The boat is a piece of art.
The guy handling it has balls of steel and certainly knows how to handle his precious girl.
Hat off for the pilot
It's making what would normally be terrifying look like an awesome thrill ride!!! Great job to the crew and builders of that awesome vessel!!!
I proud of you Mr. Ship driver, you're really brave 🤗🤗🤗
As an ex Seaman I have to say that wheel man knows his stuff. Fantastic boat handling skills.
Excellent Seamanship and a Dependable vessel

I think the commander shit in his/her pants/pantyhose a couple of times.

Nice job good testing.You got to keep your eye on the waves and give power at the right time.Lovely boats.
He did that as good as it can be done believe me.
Knowing how to drive and when to and when not to add power is critical. This is definitely a pro.
Not something most of us ever get to see this close up. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Looks like an awesome little boat too.
Congrats to the Captain!!!! Very impressive skills!!!
hats of for the people working on these boats and the companies who built them. Looks like they are training going back and forth.
Wow..seriouse impression on me. What a stunning job..well done to the very professional crew (I won’t mind going to see with this crew that can handle this type of ruff sea :). Very nice boat indeed..well build and very balanced. I appreciate this video.

One of the greatest video Frank.
Wow, the waves really play with the boat!
They got the right music safety to all on sea the pilots and pilot boats are some badassss
judging by the on boat vid, it actually does pretty well in those conditions
I marvel on same thing too.. today I just had a rough boat ride, huge waves for only 15 minutes but I already feared being capsized. I can't imagine what the guys in this video is experiencing inside the boat.. wow, it must be totally unbelievable.
My hat off to the crew n builders they are both as tough as they come on top beautiful music too many thanks for posting
Looks like a heck of a ride. The cab footage is pretty awsome. Thanks for posting! 5*

Scary stuff. Hats off to the pilot of this vessel.
This is crazy! Now that is what I call a pilot
Respect. Brilliant seamanship and a hardy boat.

Of course you mean the boat. I wouldn´t trust a roller coaster more than that beauty
my respect for the skipper and his skills must be Irish

makes me glad im on the thames . mind you i went on a lifeboat in a f8 , man i felt the biggest buzz of my life .
awsome footage...brave men + women who drive these vessels...
Must be like a crazy fairground ride. Respect to all at sea.
Extraordinary and compelling!

Chariots of Fire song, nice touch, very well touching.

These guys do a dangerous job at times - hope they stay safe.
The skipper's having a great time out there.

what a privelage to be able to play with the awesome power of that sea with such finesse ***** from nz
Makes me jealous watching this. Love these vids.
Do you hear that clanking sound? These guys giant brass balls!
@jazzy6307 You kidding ? It's Chariots of Fire. Classic tune !!!!!
Superb boat, & superb handling skills by the skipper.
I guess he enjoys this, why else venture out in the conditions?
Man, that's a nice boat. Great ad for the builders. Handles well. Cheers to the crew, great job.
Holy shit. That must have been a gut-wrenching ride!
The pilot of this boat really knows how to handle the worst sea I have ever seen!
This song always makes me cry :(
aww!

very good boat, e an excelent captain, doing right things at the right time,
Not for your average weekend sailor. Good seamanship: glad to be watching from the outside.

i like this video n good music,, signifies heroism in the struggle.. good job.
Tem que ser bom e muito corajoso para navegar em condições tão adversas.
parabéns para o capitão do barco.
What would be impressive would be to see the pilot attempting to board a ship in these conditions. :)
How can a boat that small contain a captain's balls that big?!?!?!
I actually enjoyed the music with it! Quite amusing.

This is a pilot boat used to transport a pilot to and from ships. Never the less, you are correct about the RNLI.
This reminds me of the US Coast Guard boats practicing maneuvers in the really violent surf of the Columbia bar off Cape Disappointment in Washington State.
salute to the men who man these ships at the sea
looks like a everyday cruise with my boat, i live in the north of norway.
Those pilot boats have those 4 click seat belts plane pilots use. Amazing riding those beasts in a storm.
But the music belongs in the bottom off the deepest point in the sea.
We never had seat belts when I was on the old "V" pilot vessels, they came in after I left in 1990
