Nice vid! Seems like it righted itself in about 2 seconds.

When my husband showed me these boats and told me about them I told him he was forbidden to be on one lol. They seem too dangerous to me.

Fortunately, most places don't have surf like that. But, for the places that do, the truth is that taking a small boat through surf like that is dangerous. The Coast Guard is constantly trying to keep fishermen and pleasure boats from going out into surf like that. But if someone needs rescued and a helo can't do the job then a motor lifeboat with a highly trained 'surfman' at the helm may be the only thing that can.<!-- Edit --> Last Edited : 12/30/2009 1:21:38 PM GMT |

My icon picture is a prime example of why you should not take a small boat into "big waters".

when they go out to rescue someone on a mlb, how is the rescue completed, does someone jump in, or do they just throw a line to the victim or what? can you be crew on it as a non-rate?

so im assuming there is a restraint system for the crew up by the helm, in case it capsizes? is there, and if so how does it work?

Funny you mention that....I saw one in Ft.Lauderdale while doing Vessel Inspections for AUX. Apparantly it's a Pilot Boat. Maybe I can convince them to take it out during rough seas lol
