Lifeboat force 10 

Struggling to comprehend who would give this a thumbs down?? Let's hope whoever did never requires the services of a lifeboat

I love this sort of stuff and is another reason why I became a skipper of a rescue vessel here in Melbourne Australia.. You can also hear the skipper working the throttle as he enters and leaves each wave. Great stuff.

Nothing but praise for the courageous RNLI CREWS 👌👏👏👏❤️

As a retired engineer off of Canada's 47 ft mlb, I loved the job. Could be rough on the body at times but worth it. Kudos to all that do it.

Lifeboatmen (and women) are amazing people who deserve full admiration and our support.

Just brings home how brave Penlee lifeboat crew were ! Going to sea in a Watson Class wooden lifeboat in the dark in truly mountainous seas to try to rescue the people on the Union Star RIP - as other commentator stated please support the RNLI!

This is the easy bit she can take this weather.In the dark force ten and trying to get a crew off a ship in distress that is when skill is required.I admire the lifeboats crew it takes a special person to go out and save peoples lives.

A tough looking rescue boat. Twin diesels, I expect. Hats off to you, gentlemen.

Awesome job you guys do in seas we can never comprehend, but the upside is in boats built to withstand such seas and skippered by experienced captains , manned by volunteers is inspiring . I wish my health was such I could do the same. Welcome to NZ , have followed you for some time .

SOOOOooo glad that wasn't filmed from the deck of SHADDY !!

Thank you all who serve, Humanities finest.

Unbelievable courage when everyone runs for cover, they go out...thank you all

These Life Boats are so impressive!

Thanks for posting this Barry. Those seas are unbelievable! All I can think is that being hove to on a sailboat in that mess would be the pits. Heros. Go get em! :)

Don't forget to donate ! These guys risk their lives for free - but the maintenance of the equipment costs. Support the service!

Courage and commitment...selflessness ...rare individuals..thank you all from usa

Thanks so much for what you do. Havent had to ever make that call yet byt it sure is nice knowing there are people able to help if need be.

I was crew on Newhaven ALB, went out in that sea a number of times, one day the wind blew the sea flat and all you could see was foam forming on the surface and being blown around the boat, that was a weird day.

I don’t get star struck but these guys are something else.

Just shows what the brave souls of the Penlee lifeboat must have endured and worse at night in a wooden lifeboat ! Truly remarkable people

A good day to be in the pub! Great job guys

Awesome footage how brave these people are !!!

You couldn't pay me enough to go out in weather like that, let alone do it voluntarily.

that lifeboats like yeah baby just what I was built for. Like a motocross bike going on its back wheel through a rose garden at Hampton Court Palace. (Nothing stopping it.)

Some absolute tool my friend.

Can't believe you have dislikes. First time I've ever subscribed to any channel because this is bloody good. Great job man. What in the name of Jaysus is there not to like.You're a crazy man but fair play to you (from a Dublin man). I don't even sail but I love it. Stay safe !!

The lovely smooth waters of home..... Brave lads!

Wow, these boats are beasts!!!

I've been in Force 11 in a 25000 tonne tanker, wouldn't like to do it in a life boat. Very, very, brave men.

My recollection of weather forecasts is "Storm force 10".

ok i think i know what im doing when i get old enough joining the crew of a US COAST GUARD MOTOR LIFEBOAT in oregon!

She sounds like she is breathing in concert with the waves!

Well done guys!

super brave men , this is something that really does make me proud to be british,and I am not a patriotic sort of guy.God bless em and keep em safe.

God bless lads

Amazing strong engines on the boat..strong as the men

What do you guys coat your windows with, it must be good stuff

how do these boats handle north atlantic storm season waves?

Respect the the guys and girls that risk their lives in pursuit of saving others for no benefit of their own.personal safety

Wow! That'd be a crazy ride!

Surprised the boat could move given the size of the cajones of the lads on board.

Yup, "2 x MAN 2840 marine diesel; 850hp each at 2,300rpm" They publish the specs of all the boats on the RNLI website (youtube won't allow me to post a link you'd have to google it).

I really enjoy the video. Very bad sea conditions

Ah Jet Ski waves, nice!

I hadn't realised how fast they are, it goes off like a rocket at 0:20 Blink and you miss it leaving.

Great vid. Ex RNLI shore helper here. out of interest what are they using to clear the water off the windows so quickly ? RainX ?

Had a taste of it commercial fishing for halibut west of Kodiak on an 83 ft. converted all wood tug. Had a starboard head that required me to prop myself with both feet and arms. Best dump I ever took. Very exciting although a bit wet.

To think that "back in the day" guys went out in open oar-powered boats to carry out a rescue.

Being in the coastguard helos rescues this brings back old memories

Howlin' v-drives.

This is cool

Wow, my kind of guys, trust in the weaponry. Out there cool.

I could not do that as I would be really sick and vomiting ......they are brave men..

The very definition of the word gnarly

God love and preserve them.

What size engine do these lifeboats have, must have to be very powerful ?

Brave men, I love a rough sea, but got to be in the right boat.

Yikes! I never want to be out in that. Force 8 gusting F9 is the worst I have ever endured and I thought I was a goner

Ok yep yep. That’s nuts!

out of interest does anyone know if this was an actual emergency call or were they training?

Is it a Severn class lifeboat?

What frightens me is that these volunteers have a Head Office with plenty of well-paid executives who - as with most such Charities - wouldn't put to sea in a puddle but tell these heroes how to do it.

Long live the RNLI. A lot of people - land lubbers mostly, have no idea that the RNLI is a charity and has no government backing, and they don't want government backing because if they were government backed, they'd be wrapped up in red tape and health & safety, which would mean they wouldn't be able to go out in seas like that and rescue people, and would end up being as useless as the MCA - not that the CG volunteers are useless! The folks who risk their lives are volunteers, Support them!

WOW!

The REAL 4th emergency service.

Are they going on a rescue mission?

wow!

Sometimes wonder if I can still afford£10 monthly. But can I afford not to donate it? Amazing blokes and women- not needed their help yet but.....

Again l say. Eternal Father Amen.

Do you guys use paramedics onboard

Bravest of the brave

BRAVE

Got like 4 ×v8mariner engines will batter right trough must have pretty good hull

You have to go out, but you don't have to come back !

Ever seen any rouge waves ?

Lovely sea 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Halmatic make the best boats for their size going.

stay safe

Honestly, in these conditions, i would have rather been on a nordhavn 68 or 76, but a 52 could still handle this, thos e boats really are beasts!

this is a severn class lifeboat and has 1250 hp caterpillar engines

Britannia rules the waves.

We call that "Wednesday" here in windy Melbourne

The only thing nice about this is the sound of those engines

All I could think was turn on the wipers!

true job for men

Flat sea for me

Also recpect

scary

Faaaaackin nora...

Fudge! MAW i want OFF!

In what way was the penlee lifeboat different in its construction etc ? That was such a heartbreaking story. It’s very sad to think that no one knows what actually happened to that lifeboat in those moments radio contact wS lost ? I did read perhaps the union star crashed down onto the lifeboat wrecking it ?

hold on to your hat

Anther days fishing raglan new zealand on west coast

Nah, it'll be fine.
