If we all followed your advise, there’d be hardly any commercial fishing anymore. Most all of us use single engine displacement hulled boat, with a speed of about 8 knots. Cross the bar twice a year when flat calm? We cross every day. Yes, it does push the stern around and could broach you, but you have to stay on top of it, correcting after each wave.
Very informative and easy to watch. Crossing a bar is often small moments requiring big decisions and this video makes those split second decisions far easier to decide which way to go. Thank you, and the more people that watch this, the less lives that are put in danger. Two big thumbs up!!!
Is there any bars between Runaway Bay shopping centre (they have a small jetty you can tie up to and then go inside to the shopping centre) and Russell Island that are dangerous?
To deliberately do what you know you shouldn't and why you shouldn't... man his heat rate must have been in the 1000's bmp!! He knows what can happen. That's the boatie's version of running back and forth across a freeway!!! Run, run, run but don't die, but keep running!!
very informative, for power boats; shame that SAIL boats are not covered at all, is this saying they should NEVER cross one??, I sail on a 29 foot, 6 inch compass, how am I meant to cross??
Bashing on older engines is unwarranted. Nothing magic happens when an engine becomes 20 years old, if kept in good shape age is almost a non issue. Will you eventually have to replace some electronics? Sure , but it's a serviceable engine. It's not a throwaway device like they make it out to be.
If you mean the rescue guys in the IRB when they were demonstrating bar crossing in various sized boats, they were wearing PFD's. Their dark, low profile vests are their flotation devices. If you mean the rescue chopper crew, the swimmer (the guy who jumped out to go into the water to facilitate the recovery) was wearing a bright orange neoprene vest (wetsuit material.) This is for a few reasons. First and foremost, jumping into the water from several meters while wearing a PFD is a bad idea, a lifejacket will ride up under the chin and can stun or knock out the person wearing it on entry. The Wetsuit vest, while not providing as much buoyancy, provides enough to help a strong, powerful swimmer in breaking waves. It fits much more snugly which means it won't be moved around by the impact of hitting the water and finally it provides a much better range of movement for the rescuer's arms allowing them to fit slings and grab at lines. You can also see just before the swimmer exits the aircraft that he has a orange sling tucked under his arm to pick up the victim, while it's not a lifejacket, it is buoyant and could be used to help keep yourself above water if you needed it. These guys hold their Bronze Medallion, which I can tell you requires an almost superhuman level of swimming ability, they're carrying the bare minimum of equipment to keep themselves safe and facilitate the rescue. Just one part of the bronze medallion test is treading water in full clothing for 15 minutes. I mean boots, jeans and a jumper. These guys can do that, then they are OK in the open water without a lifejacket. tl;dr they're trained well enough to not need them in those conditions. In worse weather they would compromise the phsyical freedom and wear and inflatable life vest, keeping it deflated unless they were in distress themselves.

Mate I cross bars with 6 to 7 meeter waves when ever I'm cray fishing at Abrolhos.... 66 foot crat boat does the job
I mean cray boat
Thanks for this video--I've been a boater for a long time but I didn't know some of this, and there have been times I wish I'd known it.
Excellent still today.
Great vid guys, very informative and to the point, should be handy for this place, the river Bann bar mouth Northern Ireland
Good god, this is gold.
Great video
Did they click random and loud for background music?
Awesome video, thank you guys, learned a lot!
Thank you for making this. Even though I never intend to cross a bar it's great to know how to tackle a difficult swell.
Now I know a lot . . and this video is broad and informative . . Thanks a lot!!!!!!
nice video. thanks for information in this video. well done sir.

What about float planes? And canoes? They didn't cover those either. They can't cover everything. Don't be such a snowflake, sheesh.
@@chad1755 as stated slow boats can cross 1or2 days a year dont know if have to wait another year to come back.
si levanta mucho la proa poner un saco de arena para estabilizar la barca
siempre proa al mar, la barca de aluminio debe de tener camara de flotacion
Nunca poner la barca de costado a las olas
May i ask .what your little boat is please (size & Name) ?
what i get from this. size + power = no care. just plow through.
Pro tip: Watch & listen to this video on headphones..😉
What if you skipper a submarine
Passando por aqui pra fazer uma visita muito bom! Tmj
No oars in the tinny?

My Evinrude 200 V6 is about 30 yrs old and going fine
Walking on the fighting side of me
Oh darn, I thought this was going to be in English
No lifejackets...
how paul got a pay rise
So between the lines, dont buy n small boat and cat boats are best😉
dam radio left on almost the whole time!; valuable info, did not watch; bye
Not wearing life jackets!
This video was about as helpful as a wet paper bag.
it good to know how to cross a baws...
1st.of all,''What The Hell Is A Bar''..?? UGH...
FiddleStick's bessette it's where you get the beer :)
Interesting that the rescue guys apparently don't need PFD's in the dangerous situations . . . . hmmmm

next time turn off the radio; this is serious shit,man,I want to hear you,thanks
What's the radio? Do you mean the 'incidental music'? I never even noticed it to be honest. Try not to be so precious.
