I don’t have a boat. I’m not a boater. I know nothing about anything regarding a boat. But I can tell that big ass boat would not fit under that bridge.
Looks to me like he tried to turn around when he realized he wouldn’t fit. Probably should’ve checked that first and it’s not too hard. Most chartplotters have that information built in. So besides that he should’ve backed down HARD and straight instead of trying to turn around (assuming he was doing that. I can’t come up with any other explanation as to how he got sideways to the current). Once he was sideways, it was too late nothing can get you out of that with the current ripping like that. Edit. Since there are so many couch captains out here I have to add, since we didn’t see the minutes leading up to this nor were any of us on the boat, anything said here is at best speculation.
@@rski1036 In that case it would be a “self-insured” event. So, yes, insurance would cover, either as issued by an insurance company or as self-insured.
@@AC-kp8sp Was too busy looking up captain's pronoun preference in the "Pronoun Preference Guide Book to Safe and Inclusive Interactions". That takes time, man.
The mystery boat seems like a Frankenstein project. (i also know nothing at all about boats lmao) You know how there’s always “that one guy” in your neighborhood who has some sort of Frankenstein vehicle in their yard/garage where he’s pieced together like 3 different cars from the 80s? And it’s totally his baby and he’s been known for it for like 15 years? Yeah, that’s what mystery boat reminds me of.
These people won't last 15 minutes in UK waters specially in Cornwall or Scottish waters. These dudes aren't Skippers at all. Just rich punks with boats
That CAPT will be renting jet skis to tourist next week. He knew what his air draft was and tried to cheat it. Yeah, insurance will cover the 2+million in loss ... but that thing will never be the same.
As someone without a boat, your subtitles is how I learned slow speed causes stuffings, thanks for that. Please continue to drop random pointers a little at a time.
The drone shots are great, gives you a great perspective on how the waves are breaking and what the boat is having to cut through. But you better be ready to fuzz out wardrobe malfunctions! :D .. EDIT: Outstanding stuffing view! keep the drone!
Mystery boat looks like 1 of the corvettes but I couldn't see TBE back to see if it had the round lights like a corvette but it also looks like an early 90s Baja.
Is it just me or does anyone else who has a boat just like to go out to unwind and have a calm relaxing day out on the water? There is no way I would consider venturing out on some of those boats on an inland lake with waves half that size let alone going out in to the ocean. If I had to practically risk my life just to get out of the inlet to go boating, I would turn around and call it a day. To each their own. Yeah, that captain will be looking for a new 'command' after that bone headed stunt.
In France when you pass the permit for high seas you always have in the exam a calculation of tides at a certain harbour at a certain time , the captain did not plan correctly or the owner changed the program of the cruise and this situation occured .
We have the same here in the US, this guy forgot how to utilize his tides and currents book after he passed the test. I wouldn't call him a captain, much less a Master of the vessel. A Novice large vessel operator.
Keys to avoid stuffing in big swells on small boat: 1. Trim bow up as much a possible while maintaining sufficient control 2. Don't go head on, apply as much approach angle as possible 3. Gage speed according to wave. You’ll stay dry
Drone shots are amazing! What brand drone are you using. Awesome clarity. Enjoy your content. Although you only document what people do! But it's great to watch.
It’s the same with corporate jets, they spend the money on the jet, hired some dumb pilots, and eventually die in an accident. Less money on the boat and the jet., more money on the people that keep you safe….. no-brainer.
All he had to do was go astern, to try a turn in a confined space with a strong current wasn't clever. He's also throttle happy. The fuller clip makes the situation clearer.
I bet you that's an owner operator, or the paid professional captain had a day off. A pro would not risk his job/career/yacht on going that route at that time, he would know the tide/current/height of his vessel.
32 ft Proline walk around/cabin - trim the bow up and plow ahead at 16 knots; take the waves at a 30 degree angle as appropriate; cut the speed when the crest of the water is about the touch the high bowsprit as necessary. Following seas are preferred, lol
That was Baltimore right that js had a crash cz it was dark n broke the whole fkn bridge..the video..shit looked odd to me. Wat r they tryn to distract us from or indirectly say now
@@brain189 power failure, loss of control authority as the vessel was passing a channel. Calls were made for tugs but were already too close to the bridge, anchor was dropped to no avail. Catalogue of disasters really. At least its still upright and not on its side and at least the bridge was shut down of most traffic.
The love drone shots but I doubt the captains like being put on the spot lol. might want to attach a float of some kind incase you bump into a pelican! 😂
The Formula 400 captain almost had it just right. The first few waves, he was going a little too fast, which caused him to come down a wave too quickly. He slowed down after he stuffed it that first time. After that, that is how you drive one of those size boats. You go slow, with the bow high, and accelerate just enough to keep the tip of the bow over the top of the crest. Going any faster causes the bow to come down too quickly between waves and causes a stuff.
I'm not a boat guy, but at the same love the beauty and styling of some boats. My number 1 boat to own if I were ever wealthy enough would hands down not a second thought be a midnight express!
definitely captain error, a good captain would have the charts, would know the bridge was there, would know the height of the bridge and his ship, and would know not to go through, the first month of maritime school you get taught about tides and salt and fresh water buoyancy, could've been avoided 100%
Once you figure out that the insurance company never , never , EVER ! Wants to see you or hear ANYTHING from you EVER AGAIN ! After they sell you that insurance . And you cooperate with em , and don't do anything stupid , LIKE LIVE IN FLORIDA or turn in a claim for rubber tire marks on the side of a boat that will wax right off .
🇬🇧Questions from the UK: Can someone explain to me why it’s always that rough in the inlet? Where are they heading out to sea to, and is it just as rough further out?
There is no excuse. That captain needs to be fired and not rehired to work for anyone but himself. If he is that irresponsible with someone elses property, he doesn't belong in that position.
I know nothing about boats but don't you do the Captain Kirk thing? 'Sulu engines full reverse'. Logic tells me you stop the boat from getting closer first by stopping, then turn around. Please tell me how I am wrong on this, thanks.
