Trailer Boating - South African Style
Переглядів 584 тис.12 років тому
Here is a short video about how they launch and retrieve their pleasure boats on the east coast of South Africa. After seeing so many threads on the iboats.com forum about the woes of trailering boats at the ramps here in the U.S., I thought a short video from our trip to South Africa would be entertaining for my fellow iboaters and for all.
Proper south African style!
They didnt launch those big boats like the one called awesome that way, if they did you would have filmed it.
They do launch that boat like that. If you look up on UA-cam shelly Beach boat launching you will find vids. They do it the exact same way as the first clip. Except the boat slides off slowly since it's so big.
Must come expensive having to pay for every launch and retrieve.
Excellent video, no BS and no music. Thanks.
3:19 “Pizza’s here bitches”
U Would Have Too Be A Real Idiot To Do That WHy Would You Put That Many People On!
Subs because the boat is designed to fit that many people how are they idiots?
That boat is for taking people for scuba diving.
Actually launching threw the surf from the beach has been done this way for years in many places. On the Oregon coast the dory fishing fleet has done this forever. Their boats are all flat bottom 17-24 foot dory commercial fishing boats that have an outboard motor that raises up for launch and landing. Look on UA-cam at dory fishing Oregon. 😎
I love it,,,, these guys have some balls,, and absolutely know what their doing,,,, and love the fact they dont give a shit about the boat bottoms,,,lol love it these cats are clearly out of their minds,, and love boating,,,, wish here in America, people would have those kind of balls,,, and if we did, the government would step in and stop us from boating in those conditions,
I launch and retrieve my 21ft Wilson flyer on my own in seas worse than these and make a better job of it
Derek Robbens is a knob head
Humble too
did anyone notice the lack of those annoying stupid "ramp experts"?? That's lovely
nasty nasty, I was born in Afrika, now i'm in Australia, the difference is in Africa the boats have self draining decks, and could be called surf boats. Here in Australia we launch in rivers, and the decks are below or near water-line.
The way they launch and retrieve these boats is amazing.
do jaja
boating in africa isnt for sissies
+goatnad6970 sounds like u one if the sissies
@goatnad6970 they have steel keels. And if you launched a boat in these conditions you would know how difficult it is to turn around the boat in these moving waters. Especially when there is only 2 people.
That looks like so Not fun.
Trust me, it is awesome fun!
let`s see that...
wow how do u fuck that up
I agree the writing is annoying ! So did not watch after 2 mins
The tilt trailers are the key!
Wow crazy. Always wonder how they launches in place like these.
I would think after a few hundred launches and retrievals the sand would be eating away at the bottoms.
I know right?,gotta be like sandpaper on the bottoms.
It seems very rough on all the equipment, but I guess if it's the only way to get into the water, it beats sitting on the beach.
Most will be fitted with stainless steel keel strips for protection
@@danc.369 h I am a bit
All the stupid writing is VERY annoying. Thumbs down.
Launched my boat on both the east and west coast near Cape Town, always from a boat launch in a harbour. Boats with a single motor limited to one nautical mile offshore daylight only. Twin motors limited to 40 nautical miles off shore, required registration number both sides of bow plus your skippers ticket number on port side near stern. Boat trailer needed boat name and your phone number on it. All for safety.
+MrCiammurro alot of boats have only one engine and venture out more then 1 mile for various reasons, how would that work for sail boats? gotta have two outboards? your thought is idiotic.
+theboarman You're not very bright, are you? Sail boats use sails!
I think I'd just buy a hovercraft.
Seas are too rough for hovercraft. This was a relatively flat day for this coast. This technique is the next best thing. On the plus side, growing up on this coast and learning to swim out to back-line for surfing or diving, means that almost any other place in the world that people dive, launch, or swim is a breeze by comparison.
Launching boats in fairly heavy surf you definitely need reliable outboards, they all looked like Yamaha's.
Dedicated Trailer Boating ! ! !
Guess they don't no how to build boat ramps and a dock but we are talking about Africa right maybe that's why over time that will fuck your boat up.
Well how long do you reckon a dock will last in the waves? And this is a reasonably calm day and how long will a concrete ramp exist on sea sand with constant wave action undermining it? As you can see in the beginning of the footage there are no coastal waterways around the area. It is the best way under the conditions. As you say...its Africa...so they made an ingenious plan!
Oh and its "know", not no ;)
It was a joke dude I just think it is stupid to treat your boat like that cause I don't care what anyone says that is not good for the hull to continue to do to it over time it will fuck up a perfectly good boat but if you got enough cash who cares right
its fucking Africa baby leave us the fuck alone
+Scott Jess Easily repaired with a new coat of gel coat and keel guards once a year dumbass.

Hey I grew up there and my dad and I boated for years, we fitted good quality stainless steel keel strips to protect from any small stones etc as well as for the trailer work and nobody paints their hull so its always extra gel coated on construction - so beach launching keeps the hull nice smooth and clean. Actually the launching & beaching is huge fun !!
In this video, how did that one boat fail exactly? I don’t understand why he turned around. If you are flying up onto the beach, why do you need to time your beaching with the waves exactly?
Wow. Different style to what we're accustomed to in the hokianga harbour NZ. Goodstuff.
Sanding the bottom of my boat each time i go out fishing ! No thanks.
Michael Childs Well i don't live there so i am not thinking of a better way to do it but i am sure there is one.Probably on youtube you will find it.Best regards
They normally run steel strips along the bottom edge of the hull.
I hope so !
Gets rid of the barnacles.
That's nothing compared to RNLI lifeboat launching from Aldeburgh beach in England
Virtually the same method, except at Aldeburgh beach the surf is a monstrous 6 inches!;)
And if the boat doesn't start lol
They usually start them first before going into the water
Sometimes you have to kiss your ass goodbye....and swim like shit.....
The secret is a very very strong good electric winch. My friend bought a small boat and it took 30 min to get the little 12 footer onto the trailer because the hand winch was a piece of junk. My boat however is a heavy 17 footer with a very good hand winch and it took 5 min to get on trailer.
Notice only good Yamaha outboards
Hi does anyone know what kind of trailer that is used with the first boat that is launched in this video ... it would be a really big help
Hey I know I'm late but I'm here. We use breakneck trailers
we do the same here in florida.... a truck and a tilt trailer a good boater never gets his feet wet
That's how most people in New Zealand launch their boats too..
The SA boys taught the Kiwis. Never realized that that is SAB. Might get some free hooch. 😅
Sucks
Zero fuks were given that day.....
Look at Deep Creek boat launching and see how it's done in Alaska. There are no big waves but horrendous tidal currents.
That's amazing, we need trailers like that in the U.S
thats crap
I use this video as medicine out of the counter. Some fishing buddies just cry for 2' waves after seen this video, that's it, lets go for the 6' waves if they do it in SA we do it here too... lol
Im from S.A. too :) my dad just bought a Cobra Cat 585 :)
Damn good boat.
