Wow not got a RIB but wanted one so much and after WATCHING this I’ve changed my mind sore backs bruised face blister forehead why would anybody want a small RIB madness, JUST as well I am MAD to, on a serious note I want one even MORE now after watching this. Thanks everyone of you even the ones who did not finish be proud of yourselves that you wanted to take on such a challenge, I have to say even more well done to the old guys, at that age your bones are giving you and well done to not listening to those bones those wet bones lol. That was a thrilling watch and thanks to all who took part, SPECIAL thanks to SPANNERS without you lots would not of finished and to the rest of the HELP crew and organisation that went into this. SPECIAL Thanks for sharing, Ray K. UK. YNWA.
19 years ago..... Think how much tech, safety and camerawork have moved on. And Hugo - you look so young!! Surely it’s about time the industry revisited this with a focus on green issues, fuel consumption, lighter footprint and family fun? The endurance is good, but it becomes very blokey and can intimidate the family newcomers.
"focus on green issues, fuel consumption, lighter footprint and family fun" Yeah let's completely RUIN it by taking all the fun out of it, maybe add some bitchy gfs to the deal. Now that's progressive thinking!
@@deeplyclosetedindividual I know right? There's always one simp wanting to suck the life out of everything. Jeez. For extra brownie points we should make it vegan, with electric motors powered by solar. Of course it wouldn't actually work but some feel-good chanting and some green tea would lift our spirits and wouldn't be so disgustingly male huh?
Liked how the powerboat instructors rib didnt have enough fuel to make first leg....would have thought that would have been a newcomers mistake to make. What happened to the fuel stops on the whole trip anyway?
Well done guys. 👏👏👏👏👏 I'm retiring soon and I'm transfixed with buying a Rib and circumnavigating Ireland and further afield later on, at a much more leisurely pace. Is it common for outboard motors to cause so many problems? I would have thought that they were designed to take some punishment.
If you go for a simple 2 stroke they tend to be very reliable. The big issue here seems (to me) that they're hammering the heck out of them. Going slower and with shorter legs should be much easier. I can see the fun and excitement of whacking along so fast, and you need to punch through some rough water but this looks more like a race than a circumnavigation to me ;)
@@bigglyguy8429 sounds cool, and logical. Im in no rush, non-inhabited island hopping to be exact. A few days here and there. Just chillin. Many thanks for the advice. Ill definitely look into that.
How did you get on with your trip ? Have you did it yet? I've just bought a 21 foot cruiser with a 3 cylinder perkins its no speed boat by far but a good sturdy vessel, its in lough neagh at the minute, I'd love to take her round ireland perhaps isle of man or Scotland first, keep us posted on you voyage!!
@@tomthegoat5139 I'm retiring this week, thanks for asking. I'm currently searching for a 5m Rib with all the extras. I've been downloading and studying the islands of Ireland. I want to be able to beach my boat and explore 1-2 days on each island. I'll move on to sailing when I get the experience. I'm not looking to become a 'sailor', I just want to satisfy the need of the sea's calling. Ill sell the boat when ive done what I have to do. Good luck on your new rig. Maybe we'll meet on the water. 🇮🇪 👊😉
@@MsWagons F70 is a great engine. I have had an F115 and then a F225 that has run many hours since 2007 without anything more than routine servicing. Yam do have the reliability angle cornered. flushing out with fresh water from new at end of every saltwater session is key.
@@toivomyllyla8776 I know, I've been testing them, skippering, them writing articles globally on them, instructing on them, demonstrating them and cox'ing them for over 30 years. Not all ribs can take rough seas and a large amount of them are shit. Anytime you want to go head to head in a serious sea, I'm ready. I still test, demonstrate and teach agencies internationally. Your call.
@@paulmahy which rib under 5m is rated for open ocean? I think none. I sailed my 12 m yacht half around the world, and I certainly wouldn’t think any rib would handle some of the conditions out there without capsizing
@@superwag634 Really, have you checked out the ARRCs now Border force cutters? I used to Cox' them. 19m 32 tonnes, 2000 hp self righting. Check out Arctic 32 with SRC.

Indeed. :)
Thanks,enjoyed the story.

Nearly 20 years ago,i was camers boat skipper/back up boat
Many thanks for uploading Andy, brilliant!
Awesome race, enjoyed watching it too.
awesome, loved watching it.
Enjoyed this upload...cheers.
fantastic achievement folks !!
Biggest 4m boats I've ever see, the Avon side by side seats was probably the only one!
But an excellent run by all 👍
The challange was open to 4 m-4.99m long
That was brilliant. Something I'd love to have a go at but maybe in a slightly larger boat - is there an 8m RIB challenge?
Great bit of TV that.

@@bigglyguy8429 I think he was hinting at the amateur recklessness displayed.
I have now taken ownership of "SEAL" boat is still in great condition would like to make contact with the original owners if possible. Mick.
Any luck in finding the original owner??
@@Crimetvuk No mate boats still going strong...👍
The most shocking part was the way the girl got pushed …she had her hands in the air and was push with force toward the guy in the water …. Fungi
I thought the very same, I sure who push her was very fearful after the push and very embarrassed and full of apologise after.
A Q. for experts: wicht Zodiak its the must stable for big seas ( not rib) ? Thanks a lot.
Смелые люди и отличные лодки!
Jaaaa das ist Boot fahren 😍😍😍😍✌🏼️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
good footage. surprised no helmets.
This is fun
Good Lord was with ya.
can anybody give me some idea of the fuel burn?
Avon searider top rib back then with a 40hp matiner outboard
Liked how the powerboat instructors rib didnt have enough fuel to make first leg....would have thought that would have been a newcomers mistake to make. What happened to the fuel stops on the whole trip anyway?

Don’t. These guys were ill-prepared, and look at problems they had. You sound inexperienced and around Ireland therfore too risky.

Yeah maybe I’m just an American but none of those boats look like 13 ft(4m)
most are 4.8m
Hull length not tube length.
Okay one of the lessons learned........ You have more chance to make it if you stay with Yamaha. ;-)

Wait, they abandoned the boat? The heck why?
Yeah I don't know why they didn't just tow it
Cowboys. Irresponsible
@@ewantheboat I thought they did. The guys climbed on and a rope was pulling it. Abandoning the boat was getting off it.
Not enough Yamaha two strokes.
Stephen Griffiths?
Don't think Cassie is gonna have any problems with buoyancy.
“Seeing lights at night”. It’s called navigation skills, absolutely lacking .
Why would you go in a rib with a fucked engine
only 20 years ago...a woman not whinging about how oppressed she is
Heavy seas round the point?? Hardly. Taking inshore/sheltered water rated boats offshore is not a good idea.
Rib boats are desinged for rough seas.
