Wonderful boat, I love this golden monster. Hey Mr. Frank K, this is the most spectacular boat of all time. You have done a super job, wish you much success with it
I have had the pleasure of see both thunder child 1 and 2 oh they are both world class looks and performance but what really is the mind blower is the almost indestructible nature of the boat. You put it through some pretty good test in some pretty rough seas and she took all you could give her man thats a great design also. She's plain ole exotic sexy. Extremely nice boat and man she's tough. Thanks for sharing your trips
Epic boat, that view at 2:30 when she 'thunders' past is beautiful and brutal. Take her to Miami and run her through Haulover a few times, would love to see how she handles those conditions alongside the big American CCs :-)
I go to Haulover alot and LOVE watching them go out. Especially the smaller vessels and SeaDoos.. Bring some food and drinks and it's like going to an action movie. Total entertaining.
Hope they take the boat to find some gigantic rogue waves in the ocean. Maybe they could pilot the boat via Starlink and test the boats ultimate strength in 50m rogue waves.
Haulover? That’s funny. Check out their other videos going through 25’ tall breaking waves. This boat is on a whole other level. They even flip it over on purpose and it self rights.
I'm with you there. One of these with a luxury spec for the Florida Poker runs is the Lotto dream. All those little boats scared of a wave whilst I blast through them in a Thunderchild. Heaven.
@@stevefitchett6193 I grew up a sailor on Lake Erie. My father would come home from work, look out at a squall line on the horizon and say, "Let's go out and battle the elements." When I lived in Boca Raton, I had a Squadron XII 27 and a Cigarette 35 Cafe Racer to be defensively offensive. Sailing with the Intracoastal just wasn't an option. With this thing I could battle anything.
Seems there are not so many intrepid and daring guys / girls these days, or is it just mainstream media not focusing on mans great adventures? Takes some balls to build and skipper a boat like that, not to mention putting your reputation to it. Congratulations.
Once again an awesome video. Could I ask that you do an interior walk through for one of your next vids please? I'd love to see what she looks like inside.
Bloddy marvellous. What drone make and model are you using? How the heck can it keep up with the boat? Superb team effort and impressive marine engineering.
Did I hear you say it was using 100 lit of fuel an hour? That sounds very good to me as I used to have a tractor that used 90 litres an hour and was only 380hp!!!
@@gaycha6589 I meant in the right hands it can withstand heavier weather. It has been designed for military, police, pilot, SAR and possibly recreation
@@oscarosullivan4513 horses for courses. Ribs are well established for SAR. Thunderchild, magnificent as it is, might struggle longer term with hull stresses and delamination/weave lay up stuff. The hi performance Class One offshore power racers and carbon fibre Vendee boats all have very limited hull life spans in such a high duty cycle.
Norway hasn`t had a real winter in years and record temperatures are being set all the time, 2009 was the hottest august in 40 years, 2015 was the hottest august in 50 years, 2019 we had about 3 straight months of 30C+ (90f or something like that) and that`s just not normal, not for NORWAY.. It`s supposed to be cold here, and maybe we get 30C a few weeks, but no more, the days of torturous summers are upon us, so pretty soon I`m gonna need a boat of my own to get up to the arctic so I don`t get cooked alive :p Unless the gulfstream shifts and we get an ice age instead, but that would suit me just fine, I`m Norwegian ;)
I like to see cgi battle with the tripods, if you pop across to Anglesey to do it I'd be happy to drop you a fiver for fuel,. Loved your vids for years, especially the ones with banging nineties dance tracks 👍
What I would love is a semi-modernized Elco PT boat. From the waterline up I'd want it to _look_ the same, BUT, give it a stepped hull with exhaust aeration. 4x twin turbo V12LS engines (>1500HP each) driving ducted screws and carbon-composite hull construction.
@@michiganengineer8621 Sounds like a plan! My parents used to belong to the Harlem Yacht Club on City Island New York back in the 1970's. One member owned a Elco 50' or so with a center pilot house called the DREAM. It was a truly wonderful yacht to ride on.
@@1TomTom They had one in the marina at Great Lakes when I was going through my class"A" school there. Although I _think_ that one was a Higgens PT boat. I just like the lines of the Elco a little bit better than the Higgens.
I just love the way she flys the forward hull and rides on the rear sponsons. Magnificent boat all round.
That was an awesome sight watching all those little private boats making chase. Inspiring for sure.
Amazing boat Frank and the rest of Safehaven Marine! I want one.
Wonderful boat, I love this golden monster. Hey Mr. Frank K, this is the most spectacular boat of all time. You have done a super job, wish you much success with it
The Thunder Child is such a beauty, it kills me.
Congratulations Frank and team. Amazing video and really a walk in the park for Thunderchild 2 !!
So cool to see many boats coming out to support and injoying Thunder ⛈ child!! 🚤 Well done 2:31 🥇🏆
Congratulations Frank!! thanks for posting. How about a video showing the engine room and interior?
പ്ര
Haha, got quite a crack out of that drone recovery solution while traveling at speed. Great run, beautiful vessel.
Wouawww...I love it ! Je me sentirais vraiment en sécurité dans cette embarcation !
Thank you for this video ! 😮😎

Just check out Thunderchild II Storm Brendan video. Makes the roughest waves at Haulover look like a kiddies pool.
Easily!
Best bit for me 1:03, putting the VHF mic up to his ear to hear the reply😄
Saw it going past Galley Head, what a soundtrack!
What a BEASTLY piece of machinery!
Watched this on Facebook 2 hours ago, bless ! I best watch again......
This boat is the one and only reason I play the lottery.

@@BrianNavalinsky a man living his best life. Hats off to you sir. Would love a cigarette Tirana
@@stevefitchett6193 I think Aronow would have approved of that boat. Step hulls have come a long way since early Velocity and Fountain designs.
@@BrianNavalinsky I was recently introduced to sutphen boats. What a beautiful piece of kit they are.
Thunder child 2 gives me goosebumps 😎
I think I have said everything I could say about this boat . Thank you for the video .
I would like to know more about the construction and hull design.
Sounds like an MTB or PT boat ! My dad did some multi-step designs before WWII.
Seeing all the boats at THE FASNET makes you feel Proud to be a CORKMAN
Just a stunning boat, 👍
Well done Frank, Thunderchild 2 crew, Safehaven Marine team and all who shot these amazing footage !
What’s next? 😀

대표님 안녕하세요ㅡㅡ 오늘 영상 감사합니다
Heard it out there in cork harbour some sound off this boat
No traffic on the sea 😆
High power boat awesome 👌
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Love this boat!
Congratulations to all of you💪💪💪👏👏👏well done😀
Reminds why I enjoyed being a marine pilot 90535.
👌👌outstanding!!
Roches Point to Blackrock Castle??, I just want to see the boat going past my house.
I really want that music on 1:52 i hope someone type the title for me. 😁
CATERPILLAR DIESEL POWER! Love it.
This is pure Speed Porno 💪👍
Super Sailors Thanks Video Super Maersk Gratulace People 🌐📡🔊🌹🌹🌹👍👌
Just amazing !!!
Typical work day?... hardly. Aquatic art in action. Would be great to get an interior walk-through.
Agreed
Cool boat! And that helmet though.
Amazing hull, wave piercing but with anti stuff bow, proper piece of kit, and stepped?
Amazing boat!
perfect sample Videos 🌐📡🔊🌹👍👌
And that is how to catch a Drone 🤔. Nice. What s the fuel consumption on her?
That drone they use must be fast to keep up!!
4:31 this is H.P. Baxxter ??
How does it measure up against offshore racing boats
So What? an Australian car ferry (built near Hobart, Tasmania), is reported as cruising at 60knots?
Bloddy marvellous. What drone make and model are you using? How the heck can it keep up with the boat? Superb team effort and impressive marine engineering.
301 like from Catamaran Navigator 👍
Did I hear you say it was using 100 lit of fuel an hour? That sounds very good to me as I used to have a tractor that used 90 litres an hour and was only 380hp!!!
400 l/h
Right News Network That is more like it. Just as well red diesel is cheap. 😁👍
How many hundred thousand Euros would this work of Art cost?
Good engineering
What kind of helmet was he wearing with the goggles on it?
Que belleza👏👏👏🤘😘
ojala yo tenerla jajajaja
Ya se que no soy el unico seguidor de habla hispana jajajaja Saludos
Tow Mater saludos 😂😂😂
Somos varios jaja saludos desde Chile
Miguel Izquierdo Oñate 👏👏👏🤘😘
Can someone explain what exactly is going on? What was the reason behind this "race"?
Thank you in advanced
You want the horses you gotta give em the hay!
Maluco uma lancha dessa da pra sair daqui de bom Jesus até salvador pra compra uma acarajé e ainda chega quentinha em casa kkkkk
De Belo Horizonte MG até Vitória ES em menos de duas horas.kkkk
A minerada pira!!!
Круто,очень круто .Катер просто играет с волной.
This is superb. Who's female vocalist used in this film, is she Irish?
did he say 400 litres per hour?
Congrats.........
How much fuel did you need for this run?
Such a cool boat, although I suspect many a rib could easily keep up in those conditions.
A rib would not be able to withstand the conditions thunder child is designed to withstand
@@oscarosullivan4513 "in those conditions" Do pay attention..

@@gaycha6589 Sorry did not factor in Hull stresses
What's the point?
Where can I get that helmet, it's amazing!
Price for this ship?
You can see the earth’s global temp up 1/4 degree after this race.

Yes, utterly pointless race against no one and for nothing.
El Chapo will take 4 of them next Friday ..!
Sal. ... SU comentario está buenísimo!.🤣
Too bad he’s thousands of miles from the nearest ocean. Bu hey, I hear that our prison food is great here.
Hey anyone knows the song starting from 1:25?
Anthropocene by Machinimasound
What was the thing caught in the net?
The drone
Could this be changed to jet propulsion? @safehavenmarine
Is it going to be mass produced one day or still a work in progress?
최고 입니다ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
How much fuel does it burn on full throttle?
All of it :D
Достойно уважения
Cool boat...Question: Who buys a Thunderchild?
She’s a beast😍 and the size of it compared to the lifeboat🤣
.9 G's sustained. Amazing.
I like to see cgi battle with the tripods, if you pop across to Anglesey to do it I'd be happy to drop you a fiver for fuel,.
Loved your vids for years, especially the ones with banging nineties dance tracks 👍
How much fuel does it consume for this trip ❓❓
All of it 😀
400 liters an hour, he said around 4:16 😀
Vídeo good,from Brazil
4:14 400+ litres an hour. "If you have the horses, you have to give them the hay"
Y venden un barco de esos. Y a cuanto
Love you’re work mate! Two things... ditch the jerry helmet and a smidge of your ego, give more recognition to your team👍
My mans called frank kowalski.
I would rather have a WW ll PT boat ! Just as fast and a lot of fire power !

Would order one with no cockpit windows. I would see outside with shockproof cameras and tv screens. No props either... water jets.
fffing awesome!
Half way through, and some smart arse in a MTI catamaran cruises past at a hundred miles an hour.
Power boat .
Sir Frank my dream boat XSV20-ll🙏🙏🙏
Don't you need a submarine for adventurous sailors and speedboat drivers ????
Nice - throw that cigarette butt into the ocean !! WTF. Put it in your pocket and leave no trace !!!
I just need her for two weeks every summer.
as the 59; Cigarette Tirranna passes it like it's standing still
faster harder scooter 😀😀😀😀😀
Did someone say 400 litres an hour? That's not funny!!!
