Pilot boat, Ederra 7 off Roches Point, Cork, Ireland in a gale 

Can you imagine navigating such waters in a wooden sailing ship? Cheers to the Captain of this vessel! Magnificent, not anything I would care to experience lol but magnificent all the same.

That is one great sea boat. It takes the Segway really well for a 40 ft boat. I do note that she is really powered to her limit for safe operation , but that margin makes her perform well. Great design ,& kudos to her builders and designers. Tks guys.

I actually give full props to the drone guy, who is in the boat, looking at that tiny screen and not getting motion sickness.

Your technology in marine-craft and your helmsmanship - and cinematography - never cease to amaze :)

One helluva boat and captain!

В прошлом я был моряком пару десятков лет... Потрясающее видео! На это можно смотреть бесконечно. Это , как танец с вечностью...

Never mind the boat....that must be a seriously good drone to film in gale force winds! Loved the 'beam on' footage...riding along the tops of huge waves...that looks like amazing fun.

I would love to have a ship to take "surfing "!! F-in INCREDIBLE MACHINE!

Fabulous drone work. And Ederra is a fantastic boat.

I am impressed regards from Australia 🇦🇺.

I would be a shattered vomiting mess if I was aboard this incredible boat. Hats off to those who pilot her.

What a beast of a boat! I don't tend toward seasickness but seeing that drone pilot in the cabin focusing on a little screen 3:45 as the boat rolls through breakers... he must have an iron stomach.

Any chance of a camera inside to see what it’s like for ye guys in this weather?

Awesome looking boat, awesome drone footage and awesome to see the inside of the boat and the battering it takes ! Love you’re videos and you’re boat building skills too ! Best wishes for the future of Safehaven Marine. I assume that’s filmed with a Mavic 2 drone BTW ?

My ultimate fishing boat 😁😁😁🐟

As a drone operator myself I approve of your work 👌🏼

Great sea-keeping. How much ballast is she carrying?

You guys are becoming great maritime cinematographers

Awesome Pilot boat, I would love to see more vids of her in rough weather boarding or disembarking pilots though.

I was a sailor on a WW 2 Gearing class destroyer during Viet Nam. She rode the seas pretty much like this video quite often. If you doubt, ask another Tin Can sailor.

Incredible how she rides the waves up-, down- and cross-wind, talk about bluff bows!

Looks fun

I‘d love to see Frank at Haulover inlet.

OMG!....Amazing vessel...as for the crew...balls of steel, and know their s**t...so much respect 😎

Is that a self-righting boat? Looks like it. Sort of handles like the USCG 47’ mlb I used to be on.

I'd love to be the helmsman! Beauty meets durability.

Frank you are absolutely amazing mate, probably the best boats on the planet

Amazing boat and skipper, drone operator zoned in ... super video and boat

Volunteers to be up on that platform. Strapped on though. 👍

When you look up “bad ass” in the dictionary you will see a picture of this boat! Great video and great job building such a beast of a boat!

SO COOL!

I love these videos. I would love to be there. So exciting! The power of the ocean is amazing.

That's my kinda boating I like 👍🏻 Would be nice having something similar as a private boat.

I love your videos, I love your boats. As a boater, it's Mesmerizing to watch.

The music is overpowering, like the sound of the sea better. Does she have screws or jet propulsion? Very neat boat. Happy Trails

Great vessels. The thousand hp doesn’t hurt either

That would take you to 0.9 on the pukeometer! Immense boats!

i so want this boat. omg. does it come with sail option., very tempted

She looks amazing in a following sea. As always excellent footage by the drone and the editor for bringing it all together 👏.

Stunning footage you have some serious skills and are a very lucky man to have such an incredible job like that well done 👍

Great footage again. I'm in awe! Thanks for sharing Frank and team!

Makes me feel broke watching that fuel making that horsepower !

Looks like about 8'-12' seas. That looks like fun! Where do I sign up for a ride?!

That's a tough little boat, the music suits it perfectly! That ship is better than a lot of yachts. Great photography!

Hell of a nice boat, she handles herself well in that breaking seaway. Looks like a blast, wish I could have been theyah and taken the helm for a while. I owned a 22’ Sisu bass boat, she was a great sea boat as well.

God what a machine

What impressed me was how dry the deck remained, despite attempts to bury the bow into the troughs! That is what I call a good design!

Amazing piece of engineering

Good test conditions and well controlled by the expert skipper on the wheel,

Amazing

good that there are boats (& people) who can handle work as rough as this. ultimate hangover cure, as you would get so sick you would leave this astral plane...lol

Excellent drone work

Now why in the hell can't they make a sports boat that can do the same!

Reminds me of a modern day PT boat. It must be quite a thrill to maneuver through those waves like that.

That drone pilot must have been as sick as a dog. Looking outside is doable, but at the same time looking at a screen out of another moving vehicle in the air... what a legend! Looks like a great ship by the way.

Fantastic Boats and great seamanship handling the swells. You should be supplying our Lifeboat service with their boats. Back in my youth ,over forty years ago I was a member of a voluntary life guard group which covered two of the longer beaches in Dublin along side the Corporation life guards. We had a 14 ft dory with a 25 horsepower engine. It used to be great fun trying to get through the surf on a windy day, I must add anybody using the boat was given training. The use of the throttle to get over the wave was hammered into us. There was only one capsize that remember; during a regatta we were covering ,but it wasn't the only one that day. Keep up the good work. Wish you every success.

I’d love one of these kitted out as a go anywhere cruising/deep sea fishing boat.

I miss the sea…thank you kindly…..mate…

Quad copter pilot is the hero here. He's getting pummeled in the boat while trying to fly and film the bobbing boat that he's on. He must have an incredible sense of balance

Kowalski is surneme from Poland 🇵🇱... Great views and amazing boat 🚣 🛥 👍

Wonderful! I love the sea like this! Thank you.

Good thing Cork floats!

As an old and highly experienced airline pilot that has flown through the most terrible weather systems, I can honestly say that you would never catch me aboard such vessel as I would certainly pass out after only a few minutes of such punishment. My hat to those rescuers !

Surfing the big waves…impressive. 👍👍👍🇦🇺

What a great pilot boat. It really cuts right through heavy water. Would love to see this boat at Haulover inlet on a bad day.

Impresionante, precioso video. Muy buena estabilidad y potencia del barco, pasa olas muy fácil.

it holds its course impeccably, hats off to the hull. i take the internal vibrations/noise in those conditions warrants the headphones for suppression as much as comms

What a rush!! I'm taking my 3m open deck dingy, 15hp out tomorrow, I just gotta try those waves.. :)

Fantástico…👏👏👏🤘😘

Nice. Now, if only we could have the sound of the engines and the ocean.

MAGNIFICENT! small boat but deadly can fright big waves! thanks for sharing guys!

One thing this hull never does... Nose dive. Impressive in all aspects of hull threw water design.

Fantastic

They finally built a usable boat. The last 2 were awesome but coast guard wants boats like this. Awesome build

This is so refreshing to watch. Navy guy here.

I have been out to sea a couple of times in rough conditions. Probably the worst I ever felt in my entire life. Beat the crap out of me for sure.

What an incredible design. Put that out through Haulover on the worst day.

Just the way I love it. She handles the big water beautifully.

What a beautiful craft. If I didn’t know better I could swear she’s enjoying every moment of that . Woohoo!!! “Look what I can do!”

Now THAT is what I call fun!

I love it. Beautiful videography of a beautiful vessel.

obscenely well flown and shot.

Wow, a great boat in beautiful water! Would love to be out in those conditions. Thank you for sharing the video.

How many people wanted this boat to get crushed?

woow nice footage, how did you land the drone? on a rocking boat like that?!?

Hold on tight girlies this is going to get bumpy, anyone seen the ships cat ???

Ich würde soooo gerne oben auf der Plattform stehen! Angebunden wie Odysseus.

That is incredible, and they even took time to catch something for tea.

That looks like fun! 👍

Looks like a very well designed hull for rough waters.

Are there any new video clips on 'thunder child 2'?

Not for the faint at heart... Fun, but puking for others.

Some of those swells looked a good 15 feet! Nice boat!

The drone pilot deserves an academy award for his drone flying and l looking down at the screen. Good production. Amazing boat.

As they say in Ireland it's a bit choppy.

Awesome 👏!!! It’s not for the weak hearts ….

Parabéns Comandante, esse segura o tranco em qualquer ambiente marítimo!

What an amazing hull shape. No sign of stuffing either into the waves or down the surf. And the way she rode the beam on seas was unreal. Capable isn’t the word for that vessel, outstanding more like.

Confidence in...... Great job ,great men ..

Is it drone shots or is the other boat 60feet in the air
