      The materials used in construction of the vessel are naturally buoyant so enev hitting a solid rock at 30 knots tearing a hole from stem to stern would not sink it, may cause enough damage to make it a write off, but the vessels buoyant materials would mean it would stay afloat regardless!!!
      Make a tot boat out of styrofoam, break it apart and see if that sinks... Same principal!

      It would probably flip over and right itself completely unharmed. As much smashing as it takes just hitting waves I think it would skip over ice no problem. Probably not a head on collision with an iceberg though. Who knows?

      That's especially odd to hear from people whose field is generally known for superstitions. From launching a ship with a champagne bottle to not naming your ship after another. Quite a few prominent ships that were called unsinkable have sunk and took many lives.

  • @Sepulchrave88

    From the perspective as someone who maintained electronics on boats, you'd need to service/repair any antennas on it after rolling. Better than sinking for sure, but there will almost always be damage.

    • @mrjager2775
      @mrjager2775 21 день тому

      Aren't storms worse than just submerging the antennas? Storms can be the same as a high pressure water wash? Also, is it possible to make the antennas hermatically sealed to completely avoid any moisture at all from getting to them?

      @Sepulchrave88 20 днів тому

      @@mrjager2775 storms can absolutely cause major damage, I'm talking about cracked welds, bent and panting bulkheads. I'm seen a bent gun mount for a 25mm autocannon and welded ammo storage torn off the deck. That said, with a rollover, it's going to depend on the specs of the antenna, how well the maintenance and waterproofing is done, the type of antenna etc. Some are short, some are whips. Some have holes to prevent condensation buildup. It's going to need to be gone over by the techs to make sure everything is good to go afterwards as far as function and performance. Damage of some kind is very common. It doesn't take much to bend the elements of a direction finder for example.
      Edit: engineering will have similar tasks to ensure everything works afterwards.

And something tells me Safehaven Marine have neither tank tested, cfd tested or even submitted their "designs" to any reputable architectural firm, which explains the strange-looking hulls.

      @olivierderuiter4776 7 місяців тому

      Probably not, as these power boats are going above 50 kts which is near the true max speed of a foil, that’s where cavitation starts to occur due to the water boiling on the hydrofoil, you see with bigger ocean racing yachts that they are partially foiling, which is very efficient, especially out in the ocean, where you can’t change that stuff, and it needs to be dead reliable, I think it will be a while before we see true powerboats on hydrofoils, if ever
