We need more these not just sea trials

[@davidodonovan1699]

Try Safe Haven Marine in Ireland. The boss of the company have a few videos here on TH-cam of then building a Thunder Child 2.
It's an all weather power boat, that can self right if flipped over.
Storm rating for everything except hurricanes.
Maximum speed of 54 knots, with a cruising speed of 32 to 40 knots for 750 miles.
They cost just under 2 million euros each.
I don't know how many where built, but I'm guessing maybe 3 or something like that.

I appreciate all of your reviews,honest,factual and with no bias, but please try and feature more of the build process it sets you apart from other high quality yachting channels and gives the viewers an appreciation of why these amazing vessels cost as much as they do,keep up the excellent work thankyou

Another no nonsense, informative and well produced video by Captain Steve and his team. Such a difference when the video, content, sound and editing are all done by competent people:)

love factory tours

[@michaelloach9461]

Great vid, thanks. Oundle is nowhere near the coast, which, to me, is odd. Their yachts are brilliant & so are the staff I have met. All the best....

[@davidallen9526]

I really appreciate a good factory tour. Nicely done Captain.

[@davidodonovan1699]

Wow. That was very impressive. Well done Boat Test and Fairline Yachts.

[@davebuckman8841]

This video answers so many questions I did not know I had.....nice one Steve

[@davidodonovan1699]

Also, welcome back to Europe Boat Test. You guys are awesome.

[@javierechevarria1548]

Captain, another great video. Thank you.
I don’t have any comment about the quality, my concern is with the little usage of the boats in general. Most of them are becoming obsolete because of the age not because of the heavy use.
A big depreciation that makes difficult to justify the investment.
Quality wise it is clear, and you explained perfectly the why

[@robertlangley1664]

Another great video from boat test ,hope you had good time

[@davidparadis490]

There are three ways you can do things. You can them fast, you can do them right, and you can do them cheap, but you can only pick two.
