That would make a great party piece at a Powerboat Rally

Skip through to 4.40 on this. Looks like a totally nuts race which Id say the insurers would have a thing or two to say if they know your competiting

Not sure if it's already posted, but have you heard of the Soviet flying boat plane that only flew a few meters above the sea...

That's not a race - it's a demolition derby. He who risks his boat and crew the most wins. Insane and amazing how no one was hurt. Flying over the bow into a reef is up there with Russian Roulette. That said I admit to watching it more than once

It's Friday time for a beer in the boat

miss no stars · 22-07-2014 3:05pm

It's funny in a sort of a "no no no no no.... Ouch!" sort of a way

What are we thinking? To me it just looks like the trailer is completely inappropriate for the boat. That boat should be resting mostly on her keel with the bow tied firmly down to the trailer, no?

fergal.b · 22-07-2014 6:44pm

It also looks like it's sitting on rollers instead of pads and at 20sec the hitch seems to give way or pop off the ball maybe causing the thin cable going from the bow to the electric winch to snap or the winch had no clutch or lock and just let it slide back.

The centre of gravity is (should be) over the axles or in front if your have one, with the bow tied down to stop her tipping up. Does not help that she is on rollers as well, I don't think I have ever seen a decent sized yacht on a trailer with rollers! It looks like she tipped back due to the slope at the top of the ramp. Did the hitch pop off? It is all too easy for a yacht tip back when on a trailer and not hitched, it just takes that one time to forget to add blocks or have someone sitting on the front of the trailer. Scary when you are up on the deck when it happens.....
