Good of him to let you film those bits, and very good of you to have shared. So i take it the exam was done in the same day? Were you allowed to refer to your notes, i.e is it open book?
It's an ex RNLI lifeboat that has probably been out in force 9 winds (the weather limit for the B class). Does it really need sea trials?
If want sell it might Interested price if sell it
Thanks very good lesson :)
That bar clips on the roll bar to stop the towing rope falling down on the props
Very lucky to get one of these .. so jealous ..
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) officially defines the word "roger" to mean "I have received all of your transmission." For example, a pilot would say "roger" in response to an advisory from air traffic control.
What B number is this boat, you can look up all of tis history.
I’ve just completed 47 years on an Atlantic Lifeboat station, so enjoy these fabulous boats. One of our Ex boats is a safety boat with a club in Greece
If l at to go to thid training school to get my VHF radio licence l wouldn't bother he making it sound vrry hard when its not hard at all.
dual
Uhmm license? For vhf radio?
😋 *PromoSM*
Is the rib for sale?
Love the sunshine ☀️ great video
Cool look forward to the next one
I never knew the guy from the Brittas Empire done radio courses!
Ex RNLI boats are awesome
I’m hoping to do this shortly, must admit I am a bit nervous. This video has made it seem a lot more pleasant than i expected. Thanks
It not hard but will tell you now. This man making it sound very hard. L have my VHF. L would never goto this training School he taking about things that way way a head of the vhf
How much did you pay for import duties?
Did you do the trip?
I’ve spoken to Claire. Shipping into Folkstone Probably the same as you. Could you let me know how much import duty you has to pay?
Just for reference, the reason you need to reply the sea anchor first, is to turn her head to wind, so she doesn’t capsids again when beam on!
Actually ROGER is used in Aviation, CAA publication Cap 413. ROGER means "I have received all your last transmission"
You can’t really Roger a controller as it mostly requires readback etc. but you can a FISO or basic air/ ground
I've never been into boating etc, but I found this very useful and interesting. Thanks 👍🏻
Hi, did you insulated the bulkhead? Or just carpetted. Thanks
Nice built well done. The transit has some cables running from behind above the drivers seat to the back door in a trunking. How did you overcome this cables. Did you burried behind insulation. Thank you.
Oh look... Taxi service for the invading muslims all paid for by us mugs.... DON'T PAY TIL THEY TAKE THEM AWAY
What’s happening with the trip?
That ramp is a nightmare
Thank you for that, being there with was very informative and tell me what to expect, having a heads up works well. I enjoyed that really did feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing Ray K UK. YNWA.
That looks really nearly NEW, Fab still jealous of you. Sorry about your brother. Not boring I a, glued to it. I want a little Dinghy with outboard of 20hp. I was impressed on how smooth it was when you had the little lad with you. After watching the small ribs around the British Isles those ribs where bouncing everywhere in little swells. Being a Lifeboat you really do have the Bee Knees. Ray K. UK. YNWA.
I take it this other guy has a lot more experience than you ? The LN181 is that his boat ? Well you’ve got me hooked and I know I am way behind but catch up real soon. You typed in not much to say really. There is lots to say. Tell us what spread you where doing at the time, where it was, what have you done to the boat , I noticed screens put in. I think I may of jumped the gun and there are other episodes. Tell us prises to on engines screens total cost up to now getting here on the water, not sure if you have named her yet. ( you must think I am a nosey barstewards lol ) great watch thanks for sharing Ray K UK. YNWA.
Can’t wait to see it in the water, I am well jealous. What’s your time scale ? Thanks for sharing Ray K UK. YNWA.
Thanks for the video. I have booked my course for September. I’m sailing in Ipswich. I hope you keeping well.
Why are you selling her
Love my jumbo
Hell of a launch job, you nailed that reverse thing
Looking forward to the rest of the series. What was the first tune?
is she for sale now, did you manage to complete the round the Uk trip?
Please don't put 4-stroke engines on it, I think it would really kill the fun....
Can’t beat an Atlantic Rib for a fast and safe boat.
She’s looking good and fast 👍
We used to go across the wash from brancaster to Skegness all the time.
Fantastic series, just found it and watched em all. Good luck with the project and wish your brother a speedy recovery.
Really useful to see how the classroom stuff is done. Doing mine end of this month (June) online, then exam part beginning of next month (July). You’ve made it look less scary
"It floats" lol, it's ex RNLI pretty sure that was in the design brief. 😆. Looking forward to seeing the boat stretch it's leg's.
😂👍
MY OLD BOAT! I was a helmsman at cardigan while B752 was there! Tanni Grey Served us very well ! best of luck with her!
Re; the chart plotter. I'm fairly sure you can get repeater screens for the front position.
Roger= R for received.
Just say Over
