    The boys driving these boats know EXACTLY what they are dealing with. They know the boats, they know the sea and they know how to handle both. There are subtle skills at play here which are not obvious to the untrained eye. Great stuff as usual, Frank.

    • @smokey213964
      @smokey213964 9 років тому

      +Perro Oceaniko I agree with you, the bow can usually handle head on no problem, a following sea is a rough deal, but im no pilot, just a helmsman on a freighter so we would ride through that like it was nothing, now being caught side ways in the swells. well you know its all how big the vessel is, how full or empty are the ballasts and can it handle the rolls and right it self correctly without trouble, now in the UK the RNLI has boats similar to that and they can do a barrel roll and right them selves in extreme seas, 50 to 60 foot swells, no problem.
