gordy07 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Surely he would have been better to turn round and go out with the bow facing the waves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Surely he would have been better to turn round and go out with the bow facing the waves? Perhaps his way ensured the props had some water to dig into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Very brave guys but that launch definetly went pearshaped, think of the guys years ago that did it in big rowing boats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've done something similar in a 6m rib as I do rescue/recovery for the RAF - its fecking difficult. Reason he went backwards was to stop the back diging into the ground, then he had to go backwards until he was out off the big waves otherwise if he'd try to turn around the boat would have got flipped over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
