    Nice loud music. Voice almost inaudible. Poorly done mix, mate.

    Then, over the landward horizon, I saw the silhouette of a fighting machine. Another came. And another.

    I have been watching and loving your videos since 2007; "Bullet in the gun"; and it has been incredible to witness your boat designs flourish and push the boundaries of conventional building. I feel like I have kind of been along for the ride with this channel. Maximum respect and admiration, and the best of luck to you and your crew for the record attempt! Cheers from NS.

    Ah yeah, found one I can comment on. Sea Trials in stormy conditions was a complete joke. Why would you run her up the faces at 90 degree? She is suppose to be proving her shit and you guys wont run her perpendicular to these relatively small seas. TRY TO ROLL HER OVER.... Try, cause from what were all seeing, you made an extremely expensive "Fast Boat" and that's all you guys made.

      Fin Fenix The name "Thunder Child" was an Iron Clad Ship described by Richard Burton in the Musical Adaptation of "War of the Worlds" by Jeff Wayne. So yes the namesake is in good company. I actually don't know if there was actually one historically near London.
      Other than fiction. Now I got myself thinking!

    What are these for? Its cool and is certainly seaworthy, but it seems like just a big cork. It has no real usable deck space or any utility function. Other than just going out and driving around in rough seas for fun, what is its practical application?

    Why doesn't the owner just buy a jet aircraft? This boat is just two engine's with a hull around them. If he doesn't want to fly, he should rather build a hull around two Airbus airline jet engines and go three times faster. Why go slower if he can go faster? Apparently money is not the object.
