DO THESE LEGO BOATS FLOAT? 25 TESTED! 

Find out if the LEGO TITANIC FLOATS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eb2Fuor2QIc.html

"Let's start with the kayaker!" *Literally throws kayak in tub* *Kayak sinks* "Ahamm, nice try buddy"

I have respect for this video. People act like after you hit 18 you aren't allowed to have fun... I wanna show them all this video.

This brings back a nostalgic memory of a lego boat I had when I was a kid. It sank.

Basically, the rule of thumb is: Single piece hull = floats; multi piece hull = doesn't float.

This is literally the first time i have seen you PLAY with your LEGO. Do more of this on the channel, this is awesome.

*A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY! START THE NEW RESCUE HELICOPTER!* rescue helicopter: *7:40*

this guy is the good version of a man child, the one that still lives amazingly

When i was a kid i got all the lego boats as i could. Especially the lego city ones because those always floated. Would run upstairs to the bathtub second i was finished and test it the same way. Whole vid is nostalgic lol

Lol why am I enjoying watching a grown man play with legos in the bath tub 😂

I had high hopes for the 3x1 priate ship. haha. But it sank in style.

I've just realised how much I've lost my imagination and I'm only 17

Definitely some sabotage here with how some vessels are chucked in sideways while others are placed super delicately 😂

I used to love putting boats in the water. The only thing was that those stickers always started peeling after.

I love how we all knew which ones which would sink and which ones would float.

Kudos for resisting the urge to say "We gonna need a bigger boat".

This inspired me to go on a hunt for the boat I played with all childhood. It was a Lego 4011, purchased in 1991. It is still serving a second generation of children at bathtime.

Watching a grown man playing with legos in a bathtub and doing sound effects...nothing wrong with that. It would have been hilarious if the Coast Guard boat would have been in the tub the whole video and then swooped in to save the boats that sank.

This video made me laugh! When you threw the sharks in and stuff, it was just really chill if that makes sense. Definitely one of my favorite videos lol. Bricksie: “No sticker, fabric sails. Don’t worry, she’ll float anyway” 2 seconds later: *Sinks*

9:03 my heart

The reason some of those (such as the pirate boats) didn't float, is because they don't have any ballasts in the bottom of them. These ballasts weight them down enough to keep from capsizing

“Cmon buddy you got it” “Instant sinking”

I think the main reason why sailing ships sank so quickly is because of their flat bottom(no keel) which should be sharp and long instead. The other reason could be that masts are too heavy

Wait... you predicted what was gonna happen in the Suez Cannel 1:29

7:06 That would make a really good sinking ship roleplay.

What a fun video! I'm not going to let my Party Boat's performance get me down - it still looks great!

1:18 this reminds me of something (Suez Canal boat getting stuck)

First set I ever owned was the Cargo Carrier from the late 80s. My son still has the heavy ballast block legos that came with it so it could float properly. This video brought back some memories lol

"Were gunna up our game here with some bigger boats... I think were gunna start with this helicopter" 🤣🤣 made me laugh. I have always wondered if there were any lego boats that floated properly 👍

2:15 A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER AT LEGO CITY

I still have the old boat from the 90's, the one with the black plastic hull and it was meant for floating. I like that Lego actually made boats meant for floating in actual water

I use to do this as a kid with my lego boats and you reminded me of what it felt like to be a kid again. I thank you for that.

I'm pretty sure Bricksie just had a lot of fun in this video... you can see when his joy peaked when he put the sharks in!!!! It was so funny! Nice vid Bricksie!

I had one of the old fire fighter boats and it actually came with a waterproof motor so it could push itself along in a pool

“Dolphins like the deep sea, they sink”

I had alot of the early 90's underwater explorers sets, and I always loved how the propellers worked underwater. I think I got more play out of those in the tub as a child than any other toy.

Me : 19 years old with mountains of university assignments to do... Also me : hmm will the party boat sink🤔? let me see ...

He's acting like every child who loves lego and this gives me happy flashbacks when I was a kid😭

9:03 I like how it looks like the sinking catches the sharks attention and he moves in for free food.

even if they were relatively watertight some of those ships/boats need a keel to successfully float without rolling over. Was a very entertaining video no matter the outcome.

This video was so much fun!

I don’t know why this was recommended to me but I appreciate this.

0:36 "all the boats are gone!" The 2 red dingys and the small container vessel: so we don't exist

Just watched a grown man play with Legos in the bathtub.. I'm very satisfied :) What a wonderful idea testing those boats for their floatability. Sweet video man! Cheers

when he said "no lego was harmed in the making of this video" i was soooooo relieved

Before I get to the testing, I'm going to go ahead and geuss most of the the city set lego boats will float. They've got hard full shell bottoms. So the problem with the bigger boats that tipped, is they don't have a keel.

I do love how he says the "party boat" came WITH the flamingo floaty. That floaty was indeed the dominant feature of that set

A kit that defiantly floats is 4030, I used to use that one in the bath too when I was younger.

Fun to watch

Super late, but it makes me on how lego makes all the boats sink but the submarines float

Dude's answering the real questions in life

8:42 You've accidentally made an "abandon the ship!" alert.

One of the funniest videos EVER!

That was fun to watch. I remember having a Lego police boat (would have been late 70s I think?) that had a counterweight that attached to the bottom. Lost that piece and she never floated again:-( I wonder if it's even possible to search old kits like that now?

One thing that might have helped on the pirate ships is a keel (basically, a vertical strip underneath the hull running from bow to stern that stabilizes it in the water).

To fix the problem of the pirate ships falling over like that is a proper keel. That should keep it stable.

Make those ships float will be super easy, barely an inconvenience

Whether Lego-Built or the real thing, the masts make the Ships top-heavy, they'll need Ballast to make them bottom-heavy again and stay upright.

RU-vid should have more people like this guy.

5:25 omg I got so much nostalgia from that cuz I remember having that lego set

I don't think the main problem was "water leaking in the seams". All of the full hull ships had their decks much higher and their hulls fairly well spread out to keep them balanced. All of the brick hull ships were probably much heavier compared to their size (displaced water amount) and as such sank lower, which let water aboard. Second their hulls seemed to be narrower mostly and with the high centre of mass that just turned them over. For the party boat it seemed that the back deck went under the surface and as more water got aboard it sank. My guess is that if a brick hull was as high and wide as the full hull ships, it would float just fine, but sit a bit deeper than a full hull. As long as you don't push the centre of mass too high of course. Maybe in time the seams would let water in, but depending on whether or not there's free space for the water to fill in the hull, it might not matter.

metalbeards sea cow is such a awesome ship the best

My sister had a sanitary sewer backup and I can, without doubt, tell you the coast guard boat does float.

this is the types of videos you watch after a long day... and im not complaining

Rip you have so much stuff to take apart and rebuild because of mold the blow dryer won’t do it because the pieces on the inside still hold water you have to take them apart I say this a few times times to make sure you see it

Actually the tiny pirate boat with the flag and the sword at the start of it is to the Pirates of Barracuda Bay lego set :)

Fact: lego stickers are waterproof literally for all sets

6:33 Felt a nostalgia attack with that set, once their pieces are all mixed with others to make some DIY builds

This man making sounds to the LEGO he's playing with inside of a bathtub has a wife. Don't lose hope fellas

You should try doing "can really old lego boats still float"?

Need the ballast!! 2 or 3 The old police boat worked great.

This guy is such a child. I LOVE IT. It adds so much character to the videos 😁😁

“Do these lego boats float” Me who hasn’t had a new lego boat set in at least 5 years, “DO THEY?”

8:32 it can float with a few mods and if you take off the sails

5:06 new 21 boat will float I've used it in water before and I've even modified it to have a working lego motor

Really glad this video came up in RU-vid suggestions

3:35 that's actually from the pirates of barracuda bay set.

The Kayak can float, you just have to line it up the right way

This video was throughlly enjoyable! :)

I had Fire Fighter boat 775 and Police boat 709. These were both designed from the beginning to float, even including a weighted keel to keep the boat upright when put in water.

5:57 I have that same exact boat but it’s green and has a semi to pull it.

can we have a moment of silence for metal beard's ship

I loved a lego boat hull i had as a child. I loved building ships and taking them out to the water and playing with it.

This brought me back to my childhood for 13 minutes. Thank you

This guy deserves like he almost got a 100k

“It’s going down slowly like the titanic” LOL 😂

When the jetski and flamingo started with sound effects and everything came on I was like "OMG this looks like fun!"

This lightened my day

Haha the way you said Moana! Only Disney Princess film I’ve actually seen - I’ve also stayed at the house of the guy who composed ‘Shiny’ for it. Name’s Mark Mancina.

Interesting video on vessel’s stability (i.e. remaining upright in a stable way) more than floating (no boat sank to the bottom; most Lego bricks density is less than water), which reminds me how Lego addressed this problem back in the 80s/90s. Without venturing into the physics of the center of gravity, the center of buoyancy, the position of the metacenter, restoring and overturning couples, etc… Lego boats from the 80s/90s used heavy bricks underneath (early 80s) or inside the hull (late 80s, early 90s) to significantly lowered the center of gravity and ensure the vessel’s stability. Interestingly enough this technique could be use again today to ensure the stability of most of the boats considered in this video (if not all).

I have never more enjoyed a lego video than this one.

*Plain Whinny the Poo* “Grown man plays with legos in the bathtub” *Fancy Poo* “Scientist performs aquatic tests on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene structures”

i am surprised with the ocean exploration ship great video tho😁

7:51 I have that boat :D

"Are you playing with your toys in the tub?" ... "No. It's a... product review."

This does put a smile on my face

1:50 Evergiven?

What's is the set number of the Lego set at 1:00

This brings memories of me as a kid playing with my favorite Lego speedboat (7244). Even had motor in it.

love this sm thank you
