Slow boats are the best boats!!! This totally makes me want to do it again
Let’s totally do this somewhere cool and double the length of our voyages!
@@PeterSripol @rctestflight yessss, an epic autonomous tugfest to the Bahamas should definitely be planned immediately
this is the greatest UA-camr collaboration possible ever
@@PeterSripol yasss! I volunteer as crew for the bimini mission
@@rctestflight crew?!? You guys should definitely be captaining your own tugs for that epic voyage. That way two different designs and approaches can be studied and compared. For science 🚀
What's next, RC plane towing a full size glider?
dont give him ideas 😭
@Potato_power12 FR bro
@@Potato_power12he liked the comment, we can’t stop him now..
Yes
Came here to say the same thing.
The genius of gopro for making cameras that overheat all the time black instead of white/silver.
They even used to be silver!
Branding is more important to sales than function.
Could you paint it white?
im waiting on them to bring back the session, till then my insta360 works
@@Voyajer.That and the silver ones actually work properly, and I would still be using mine if I could figure out where I put it
Drag race with RCTest flight when
Omg another rctestflight fan
It took me a moment to even realize the thumb and title was not RCTestflight.
bro endurance race with rctestflight would be crazy
ya rctest flight
Just left the same comment and then I saw yours 😂
15:30 doggo instantly proves the explaination true :P nice video!
In case you were curious, that "funny looking bird" was probably a cormorant or maybe a water turkey. they're very similar. They catch fish underwater, it's really cool. They use their wings three quarters folded and their webbed feet to chase fish around and grab them with their beaks. What that one was doing was sunning itself to dry out so it could fly properly, as between being soaking wet and full of fish it makes it a lot harder to take off.
It's an Anhinga.
It's shocking how little energy it takes to move a displacement hull through the water, as long as you are not in a hurry. Most of the energy used in the marine world is spent on speed.
Even a bigass container ship would eventually start moving if you pushed on it. Only if there was no wind and no water current tho.
same for the road, with more friction of course...
i can push my boat off the dock slowly not fast tho do have to go fast to get plane on the water
Yup, makes you realize why so much transport is done by water even when it's a major detour.
Which is why we need nuclear container ships.
Should have ran power wires with your tow line that way you could change the battery’s out faster and no need to pull the tug up.
Yes, and with the main boat's solar panels maybe the tug boat can do this all day as long as there's sunlight
This little boat is quite gangster. You should name it "Thugboat"
Whoever spec'd out those props on the tugboat should feel super proud rn.
Lmfao
PETER!!! You should run wires though your tow rope to power the boat with your roof solar panels! You'll be unstoppable!
Peter: "So I forgot there was a total eclipse today..."
Or just charge batteries on the sailboat and swap them out
The batteries are putting out a lot more power then the solar panels,
That's, what, 220W or so of solar? And 220Wh of batteries for one of those 22V/10Ah packs. It looked like he was going hours between battery swaps, so not that far off at least. Three of those little panels instead of two might do it.
22:06 this is the most ai-generated sounding ai-generated music i’ve ever heard lol
He used Suno which was good, but now Udio brought out a new update which makes the music sound more realistic, especially the vocals.
RC Test Flight can't be beat in the music department.
Geeze, I actually thought it was the music friend from RC Test Flight
Yeah, awful.
it's kinda obvious but i like it.
Dielectric grease is a must for any electric connections in salt water applications. 18:35
Those heavy duty wagons have a wheel/tire/bearing replacement at many home centers. The lower steering arm needs on most versions to be reinforced for towing use.
yeah, bit bigger tug boat, using the solar panels to recharge the batteries on the go, sounds like a cool project :D
RCtest flight already did that.
Totalboat epoxy is awesome. One of the few epoxy companies I 100% stand behind. Love the Tugboat. I can't wait to see what else you have planned for the rest of the year.
I can honestly see you 3D printing a massive version of that Tugboat.
the boat looks insane in the ocean
This madness is why I subscribed. 10/10
4:20 broke my heart dang :(
real i remember when lucky was part of his videos
I'm really impressed with that tug boat!! To do a trip with it pulling you- well I would have never thought it could do it... and the drone footage on top of it! I'm freaking impressed!! 👏
3:07 is a home made ferro-cement boat with a ketch rig.
Came here to say exactly this. (Watch Peter get enamored with ferro-cement now...)
@@tench745 Ketch or Yawl, depending on whether the aft mast is behind or in front of the rudder post, if I remember correctly?
@@IainChalmers Correct. Yawl has the mast aft of the rudder post. Based on where the aft mast is here, I think it's safe to assume ketch.
30:45 minutes of my life that I will never get back…. But i am glad! Awesome job Peter!
Nice Work! Try putting out more tow line, like 5 times as long or more if permissable. Drag will increase a bit, however adding more line acts as a shock absorber, and will keep the stern of the tug in the water.
Next you should get a small fleet of tugs to pull you!
Peter casually becoming RCTestFlight
Yes.. and respect to Peter for properly giving credit and links to RCTestFlight 👍👏
Break the sound barrier with an RC jet...
Do it
You must
You must do it
I don't think you understand how hard it is
This ain't trailmakers my guy
The scope of that project is larger than almost any other project this guy has done.
He can do it.
The current WR sub 600mph with a DS glider. Pushing transonics in small craft is very difficult for many reasons, and would likely require a very large model. It's of course possible, and there is a team working on it, but they are already years deep.
21:26 - so that's why they put so air in the chip bags!
Don't forget about the gulf stream if you plan on crossing the Florida straits... I would definitely have a second boat to follow for shelter/safety before attempting a crossing. It can take 12 hours for sailboats to make the crossing.
3:30 that weird bird is a Shag or also known as a cormorant
Pretty impressive the little tug boat did as well as it did…
Sorry about your loss with lucky, if that’s their name. I remember when they were in lots of your videos.
Was there more than one lucky?
@@paulhopkins1905 I forgot
Bro thought the dog was a they/them on the alphabet spectrum
@@HawaiianKongyou're not funny and you never will be.
2:18 once I saw the white caps in the water I new this would be interesting.
This is absolutely wild, Peter! I'd love to have heard the radio chatter from the passing boats. I'm sure it was entertaining! Were you getting cavitation off the props? Kind of looked like it from some of the underwater shots. Stay away from Haulover. I don't want to see you needing to be rescued on one of the youTube channels from that inlet! Take the little tugboat and do some trolling for snook in the mangroves. LOL!!!
That wasn't cavitation, that was ventilation. Basically the props broke the surface or sucked air in from the surface. Good eye though!
I see the tugboat pulling the sailboat and I know 10 year old me would've loved this.
Hell, 24 year old me still loves this.
Bahamas YES !! More ballast, waterproofing and autonomy. Three knots is good speed for trolling. Might as well fish, you might get lucky.
Peter, you've always been a big inspiration to me, especially with the boat projects, as I've always wanted to mess around building boats or model boats, but never really fully committed- until now! I've got one of those Step2 "Tuggy" tugboat shaped sandboxes, and I'm building a planing hull for it and plan on learning fiberglass and getting all the equipment and paperwork to actually register it and put an outboard on it! I'm super excited about it, as silly as it may be!
Kort nozzles or a kitchen rudder would definitely help this little tug with towing and keep it authentic.
This is actually so crazy! Can’t believe that boat has that much power. Love the video.
3:07 - a 2 masted sailboat is usually called a KETCH
A ketch if the shorter mast is to the stern (like that one) or a schooner if its toward the bow
Can the masts not be equal in length? @@dangregory2217
@@dangregory2217 yes, and additionally a ketch has the aft mast in front of the rudder, whereas a yawl has it behind.
26:48 Bro listening to Crocketts theme while he was talking about the garbage in the bay 😂😂
peter is so random, i love his content
Oh No! This Guy is direct landing from Air to Water😮
big up the sripol #sripolpeople
Haulover Inlet ?!?!?! YES, if you can do it safely.
I loved this whole video. The idea of the RC towing you all that way.
Juuuuuust sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of an RC ship.....
Excellent
Dude I was just thinking about crazy video ideas and I landed on something very similar, but to swap a tiny car over to an insanely powerful diesel motor to pull the bus style RV's which normally tow around small cars. So cool you did it, just in the boat form. Appreciate your dedication Peter!
12 hrs... that's commitment. thumbs up the video even if you hate tugboats. what kind of monster could hate tugboats...
3:48 you tape off your laptop camera too I feel like they be watching me 😂😂😂
cool boat
I've genuinely wondered how much actual "work" a toy boat could do, awesome vid.
Part 4 of crusty shrimp boat please
Cmon Peter, you’re focusing on the wrong boat. Where is that Cummins powered lobster boat at haha, just kidding great vid
a cross-caribbean journey would be spectacular
Try doing the bahama trip with the tug boat, but gve the tug boat a friend to help pull and give them both a ton of more because then you would fly acroos the water.
Police: that's the slowest drug boat we've ever seen.
Man that's cool, now you only need to go down to one prop, and scale it up to maximize efficiency. Oh and then to help out more, make the tug boat rigidly attached to the main boat so it's even more efficient! Then you'll have more room for a larger more efficient motor, and possibly some hardwired batteries that the main hull would displace instead of the smaller RC.
/s
Loving every second of these types of videos. rctestflight's videos are a treasure too! If you enjoy the adventure do more! So much can go wrong and it's fun to watch regardless of what happens haha. I love seeing the limits of autonomous RC scale stuff. I am shocked how well the tug worked even scaled so small.
is this what they call an "outboard?
big boats, tiny boats, solar boats, tug boats, we're here for all your crazy antics with boats. and planes too!
sick, we need more rc vids
Not sure why I love this so much. There's no logical reason I should love this so much 😂😂😂
This is an intersting idea, could large boats drop remote control life "tug" boats into the water to bring themselves into port safer LOL.
It Could replace the diesel engine of smaller sailing vessels
Brilliant video!
I loved the idea, the camera footage from the tug decks, the outlandish idea of a RC tug pulling you for miles and the drone footage.
Keep up the awesome ideas(more rc tug please).
i love video
I didn't know what to expect from this UA-cam suggested video, but it was very interesting and lots of fun, I enjoyed it very much👍🙂
Florida? You need to come back home Peter, come back to your home and have some Graeter's Peter
The little boat that could lol Amazed by that and fun to watch. Thanks
B O T E
Doing a race of custom 3d printed boats pulling a bigger boat as a race would be interesting.
You made a video, yippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
26:50 it may not be exciting but thank you for picking it up.
Dude, thumbs up for the song. was that made with ai?
autonomous rescue vehicles seems like a legit future thing
LMAO at the suno song
It wasn’t actually tugging the boat, right?
It was
it pulled that sailboat around 17 miles this video !
imagine that small boat really pulling a load like that
I thought so too until I saw the modifications he made to it lol
You need very little power to sail over water, at slow speeds that is. 100 Watts is already huge amount.
this reminds me of your older videos, soooooo good
Its crazy how suddenly everyone on YT seems to be using the RM Pocket :D Love it!
This is sweet! I remember using this oooooooooold RC boat that originally took C batteries, upgrading it to rechargeable D batteries mounted as low as possible, and pulling myself in an inner tube for hours even with little brushed motors...man that was 30 years ago.... might have to revisit this 🧐
I'm glad to see Stuart Little still has a job after getting out of NYC and doing those tours in the USCG
I watched you vids since I was a little 3 year old! You honestly inspired me to be an engineer. One of the best UA-camrs ever.
I build a Tugboat a few years back with 2 fan motors from a VW Golf 3. They are pretty heavy (needed that to get my boat sitting low enough) an slow turning. Props were 3 blade 70mm Robbe. It used 100watt while going 2,5kts (max speed). Instead of pulling my boat i pushed it. Way better steering this way. Looks like a lot of fun. I should get mine out again
I love that little tug, so strong and brave
One of the best things I’ve seen so far greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
7:53 what a nice way to put in a sponsor, you clever little beaver
my sponsor block skipped that
@@throwawaypt2throwawaypt2-xp8nxoh no
Lol it's so cute how the tug boat pulls your boat
The little Tug that could! Great video Peter! How I miss the Toledo show! I met you there one year at the swap meet. Keep up the great content!
2:23 i just thought: "Hey, he should've called it the tugboat that could." Peter 2 seconds later: the tugboat that could! 💀💀💀
I absolutely love the premise of this video!
As a fan of rctestflight, I say hook up you solar panels to charge the batteries on the go, so you don't have to stop to change them. great vid!
The skyway is a marvel of modern engineering. It doesn't get enough credit outside the Tampa area.
Something like this in a container for emergencies would be nice. Slow but I could see it useful.
Build a whole fleet of tugboats to pull you like a dog sled haha
A trip to the Bahamas led by Jiffy IV the RC tugboat?
HELL YEAH!
Might want to upgrade the way you supply power to it though.
Power lines along the drag line hooked up to the solar panels, like other people have suggested, sounds like a good idea.
Oh my goodness! My son is super pumped you are in the Tampa Bay area. We are locals.
I read "12 hour tug job" in the thumbnail, still just as impressed.
21:31 This song goes so hard and I absolutely love it.
To Bahamas? Take your aeroplane.. great upload thx!
I enjoyed watching. So sure let's see it some more... upgraded.
That song 😂 amazing!
Literally went back to watch the very first tugboat build episode a few weeks back. This is what I was hoping for.
Cool idea! At first, I expected a tuned version of the rc boat with insane power 😂 however, this is also fair enough 👍
