great white Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Some big waves there Adam The third one is hell of an advert for the Interceptors and the last one shows that Pilots earn their wages. Looks like the return trip last Sunday charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Awsome Trevor Hell of a training session Not Powerboat Level 2 that one. No doubt in a special area RM coxns do their surf training at Instow Devon as there is never enough surf at Poole. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 My son was telling me that the US Coastguards spend a week of being strapped in their boats and rolled over and over until they feel confident in any conditions! Not quite how they train the RNLI boat crews! Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 You should see the training tank in the RNLI College when they wind up the wind machines it gets so rough it makes the experianced crews sea sick They also black out the room, have strobe machines and huge speakers making it sound like a storm as well as feel like one. They can invert the RIB in the tank I believe that the RNLI consider it safer than taking a boat out on the sea as they used to. I wanted to have a go, but they only do RNLI crews Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
