Sines big day at Daunt and offshore F9 inc crash landing

- If you fancy seeing what it’s like aboard during some rough weather sea trials, here’s a pretty cool little video of our Interceptor 48 pilot built for the Port of Sines. Some really great Arial drone footage and interesting POV (Point of view) with narration from aboard her in 5-6m seas and in 50kt winds 25 miles offshore.
How difficult is to land a drone back down on the boat in 5-6m swells and 45-50kt wind gusts? Pretty damn difficult as it turns out! Sometimes we fail as you’ll see at the end. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I would really like to see an interview with Frank telling us his background and where he learned to handle a boat.
Absolutely. And how would you like to be a brand-new drone, only to discover a guy named 'Frank' is your new owner.
Also noted is that the new boat gets extra ballast from their massive cojones.
Beautiful, I like how she has glass in the roof to see any fishes caught in the greenies. Fantastic idea 👍
If you look up seaworthy in the dictionary you’ll see a picture of Frank and his boats! What a boat!!!
I always felt 48' was a sweet spot. This boat proves it. The performance is absolutely stellar.
I couldn't agree more!!! 40-48ft is my favorite yacht size.
🚫 Not me, I find that the perfect size boat for dealing with harsh coastal breakers like ^this, is a 12 feet long, aluminum, flat bottom bass boat with a short shaft Minn Kota 1.5hp electric motor. I like to position the boat so that the waves are breaking right on top of my 12' bass boat, so as to fill it with water, which adds weight to it, making it less easy for huge waves to fling it around like a butterfly in a tornado. 😁
@HighlanderNorth1 I have a chipped front tooth from a 14' SmokerCraft! It was the first time a roller removed a deck from under me. I think I was seven. Good times.
Awesome! I like your boat driving as well as your narration.
Frank wakes up in the morning looks out the window and sees 45-50 Kt winds and 5-6 metre waves. Says to wife, oh darling, looks like a lovely day for a spot of boating. Wife says, yes dear, don't forget to pack the sunscreen and you deck shoes. I'd love to get a ride in one of these boats on a calm day, you know around 30-35 knots.
Ha Ha, nice one👍
@@frankkowalski6405 hey mate, I love your boats, videos and wild adventures. You kept me sane during our covid lockdowns too. Regards from Melbourne, Australia.
Perfect design and balance design that can adapt to extreme sea weather
must have been some fun punching out 25miles from cork harbour in that sea!, great video
Thanks for the footage guys, loved it! 👌
I did that for 24 years as the pilot boat captain with the Hawaii Harbor Pilots. I don’t miss that part of our job.
Especially at zero dark thirty and you have to go out there when it’s blowing stink and high waves are going over your cab and you’re coming up to a 900’ vessel. it’s your shift you gotta do it. Stay cool your focus is to get that pilot on or off that ship in the safest way you know how.
1991 Hurricane Iniki rolled into our islands at a category 4 force. We were tasked with getting 5 giant ships out of our harbor when the storm it. I was on duty that day facing 20’ seas at the mouth of our harbor.
A giant 20’ wave hit me port side and flipped the pilot boat over and about 5 seconds later the boat rolled back up again with both cat motors still running. The was not designed to do that.
That was a total miracle. I should have been the first fatality of that storm. The first statistic. God had his eye on me. I’ve faced many a storm in my service to the pilots. I’ve had some injuries but survived my career. And retired.
Now when I see this stuff on videos I know that us boat operators around the world are a special breed. All guts, big balls and nerves of steal.
Did you lost the drone?!
Dji should sponsor you! Best advertising of their products! You guys make the best marine commercials as well!!
Yes.we lost it
Amazing boats and drone work!
Best video I've seen for a long long time.
Congrats to the team
What a beautiful boat! Obviously the operator knows what he's doing too, but the way it handled the swell and the way it rides is so smooth.
I think ye are going to have invent a small life jacket for that drone.
good save, likely lost a few blades but got the footage back! everytime I watch your videos I imagine how my boat would handle in those conditions. pretty sure I would have been swamped on the first wave.
I been watching your channel for years now and I still want to experience this.
I think after this, I'm going to re-engineer the bow on my 45 foot sailboat under construction and give her a slighlty more powerful motor to be able to take breaking waves better. Thanks bud for the inspiration.
Mastering big waves Mr. Frank! 💪💪💪
i dont know how i found you i think it was thunder child 2 never been on a boat on the sea other than a ferry but have a boat on the river the love of seeing other boats is just always there though. great work. again.
Thank you for share mate, you are the best in rough seas, greetings from Brazil.
What a craft.
And WHAT a skipper!
Stunning & exciting as usual 👍
Fantastic as usual... thank you...
Nice boat and video, thank's !
Love these videos
Bad Ass Captain in a Bad Ass boat, Love it👍
Driven an Intersector. Unbelievable boat side on but goin into weather you can go airborne of you get your speed wrong and goin a head of weather they like to broch and you need the tapes opened up to stop it but honestly side on they are an animal
P5 passangers variance are a really pretty boat nice indoor seating and quite fast
Would love to go out with you as you only live up the road from us in kerry
Keep up the great work lads
Just amazing The vídeo! Fronteiras South of Brazil (Blumenau SANTA CATARINA).... i Love your boats!!!
oh wow that looks like so much fun!
Amazing craft and seamanship 👏👏👏
did i hear the splash of the drone at the very end?
Please could the passengers give us a comment about what their experience was like on this amazing boat with Captain fearless?
Wow awesome drone footage, you guys push the limits and deliver amazing footage. Pity about the drone, maybe time for a Mavic 3 with longer battery life
What a man and machine. Wonder how it would fare out of Ken’s hands
Ouch ...drone took a hit ...great vid all in all
I had a feeling that the camera wouldn't come back to you.
What drone is that, looks like a DJI Mavic, but I thought they can only fly in max 20kknts
I wonder if boats like that could take a storm like in the movie The perfect Storm and that killer wave at the end of the movie could it survival wave like that
No way.
Amazing 😀
I ask my self out off my innerbeen, what an uncredible kapten , i am afraid on water wy i dont trust those yachts . But i always loved water the see , my mantra water ,fire, air , . So with this firm i trust and have the confidence ..... to be one with mother earths see..
최고 입니다 영상 잘보고 있습니다
Impressive ship 🧡👍👋
Wow what a boat. Being able to take those waves.it takes nerve and a good insurance policy to do that.
What’s the hull look like! Degree of dead rise to the transom?
Gyro-stabilization?
I knew that drone was history the second they launched it
The crew wear life saving gear - Frank wears hit bomber jacket :-)
The sea ate the drone😬
maybe safehaven needs to design build their own hurricane proof drone. I have confidence in you all.
It's physics you want to hit it harder than it hits you so you don't receive the impact. Be the punisher or get a more sturdy vessel
I miss those times being offshore. Loving those conditions. Need a collegue?
When I grow up , I want a boat like this…
I have to admit, I'd be petrified to see waves like that coming at me!
Will that boat right herself if she capsizes?
What a legend takes skill and a set of steel balls and a great crew maybe not steel balls well you know what I mean
Wouldn't it be easier to stay on land?
Edit : Bring the spew bucket.
Pleasure-craft
Poor drone ! … Did the job till its demise.
Yep I'm a fair weather fisherman.
I'm just going to go ahead and assume it absolutely passed sea trials 🤣
😪🤘

When testing the yellow boat in Nazaré, on a day with medium-sized waves. It was going to be the most viewed video ever on the channel!
Did you loose the drone?? Come on!!
Yep!
@@frankkowalski6405 how many that now Frank?🤦♂️👍
...wow..Duke Nukem is piloting this boat..
Don't get caught rocking the boat sideways in between waves and once you are going with the current stay on the back side of the wave don't go over the top of it. Also that's a badass drone
おぉ くれいじぃぃぃ Oh 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 。
If the engine died, you'd sink. I wouldn't be in those waves in anything less than a boat ten times that big.
If it capsizes, it returns the original position. It is completely sealed. No water is going inside. The only possible way, you need to be drafted to a rocky shore. In that case, you are in big trouble.
