@@hankschrader149 I used to sport fish at the mouth of the Columbia and watch in awe as the Cape D Coasties trained on the old 44’s off the end of the North Jetty. It was amazing the seas those boats could handle. They would literally punch through a big breaker.
About to say, no loss there, I almost rolled a 44' MLB just to scare the crap out of the new FN from Indiana! They were out playing in the spray best they could in such small waves
@David Does it make you feel better about yourself putting others down? Did your father teach you that? Dont be so cowardly putting some other man down when your not face to face.
I think the Coast Guard and any other military vessel should be exempt from Haulover's craziness, even if the run is hilarious! (They win just for serving :-) )
The Red Top captain is in a class all his own imo…but this dude is hands down in that class just below the real legend. There’s a handful of these boys that make it look real easy when we all know damn well it’s far from that.
A 47' MLB would sneeze at these conditions. Go find a video here on TH-cam with those boats playing in the surf at Cape Disappointment, WA. Now those are some major incoming rollers.
Actually it is only the boat that is orange, we Coasties wear BLUE! They were a crew just out having some fun and no damage was done to that boat, SAFE Boats can take way more punishment than this.
Well, I have officially watched every one of your videos on this channel! I have watched many videos on the other channels as well! I cannot say how much I have enjoyed them! I have learned a lot and I only ask for one thing. PLEASE NEVER apologize for calling out the boneheaded boaters who put children on the bow of boats (with or without) PFD! I want to thank you for pushing BOATING SAFETY on your channel! So many creators never go there. That is the biggest reason I am a sub! When I was a kid, my Dad always pushed safety too! THANK YOU for doing a great service! BTW, if I was ever in the market for a boat, I would have to decide between the Invincible and the Freeman. The Invincible might just take the win!
The Coast Guard probably had rods too. Just hidden until away from the cameras 😅 I know we always did, and heck, Oregon inlet had their rod holders welded on to their tow rail, even left them on when the district boat inspector came around! Master chief didn't play.
Thing is, on a boat like that does it really matter if they stuff the bow. Riviera, a common Australian boat brand, are designed to take big waves by “stuffing” the bow at high speeds, but just piercing through it
2nd clip 'on patrol' you may have rules for the channel but that boat, IMHO, is there to save the rest of us when something goes wrong. They won the round.
The 378 foot Coast Guard cutter I was on stuffed her bow many times on ocean stations Bravo and Charlie and it wasn't the dinky little ripples you call waves at Haulover!
@@sirranjan7618 Not 100% sure, but there's a fairly low bridge up the inlet that won't let you pass underneath unless your outriggers are stowed in the down position, so a sailboat mast would likely an exiting demasting event... 😮😛
Intrepid is such a bucket that Boat lost as soon as it left the factory. And it looks like there’s Stern hatch blew open but don’t worry it’s only one of about 35 hatches on that boat, none of them are dry and you can barely store anything in them
Yes. Issue at the inlet is when tide is going out and there is wind blowing on shore. Result is close pitch, sharp, steep waves. A lot calmer outside of channel (ICW end or Atlantic end). Also when wind and tidal current run together, much calmer in the inlet.
Those waves are actually terrifying in real life when you're on a 17ish foot boat lmfao. You're like a coke can in an ocean and I haven't experienced even close to half these waves size...
3:35 miami dade with some old ass boat lol what kind of boat is it what year? youd think they would have some miami vice type shit... some midnight express or something lol lets goo
The sheriff was the only boat that took the correct line, near the rocks and out to the calm shoal on the left. I don't know why most boats are trying the go through the center of the inlet, that's the most dangerous part?
With regards to the USCG boat, that vessel is designed to be able to punch right through the rollers. I wouldn't consider that "stuffing the bow" if that is what the vessel is designed to do and more to the point, was probably done intentionally. You either need to exempt any self bailers or give them them the point for beating the inlet at it's own game.
@@recon6746 they're aluminum, and paint hides stress fractures. That's why we stopped painting, the old 41' UTB's back in 1989, and stripped them down to bare aluminum. If I'm not mistaken, that's why all of the newer small boats are unpainted. Someone who was in more recently may know more.
@@recon6746stress fractures are certainly not as big of an issue for fiberglass boats. That said, the way some people slam their way through this inlet at high speed, I can guarantee that, should they continue to do so, they will end up with more than a few hull cracks and perhaps a herniated disc or two. 🤣
Seriously? A little spray is a loss? Compare that to some of the absolute dunkings, they were just fiddling around. Probably had a new kid and wanted to scare him a little bit.
Power Cat - vs - any of the Florida inlets the odds are five nines in favor of the boat. Just about the only time a cat will lose is if the driver does something _stupid_.
A. That’s b.s.the uscg didn’t take the loss they were on a training mission B. Don’t they have their own heli’s , plane’s, cutters and such C.now they know who not to respond to
As a former Coastie, I am sure that the way they handled the manner they handled the conditions in the inlet, was a part of training session, either for a well-seasoned, qualified Coxswain, or training someone just at the early stages of getting such hard won designation. As far as the Safe Boat taking those waves over the bow, not a big deal. They are made for those conditions and worse. Those boats are made in the Pacific Northwest, a place where those Haulover waves are baby rollers.
Patrol has one L mate. The USCG has rules as well and being a self righting vessel that cabin door is supposed to be closed when crossing a bar and in heavy going. Rules are there for a reason guys!
LOL, that is NOT a self righting boat. Second, there is no rule that the door must be closed. It is up to the captain of the vessel. I know a few things because I've seen a few things-Former USCG :)
@@frankrizzo5594 actually, that's a 33' footer (listed by safeboats as 35') The 25' defender is actually 29'2" and sometimes referred to as a 30' (albeit incorrectly since as you know the hull numbers are "length of hull" and don't include the foam collar.) However, both are self righting IF equipped with an airbag (I'm not sure if the CG equipped them with the bags or not as they came along well after my time.)
@3:40 it should be obvious to anyone with common sense that a fat person isn't very capable of rescuing a drowning person in the water. What happened to 'fitness' qualifications for people in positions that require fitness to perform their jobs. My goodness.

That day with those weather conditions, not even close to being a "Great Coast Guard Day" weather and sea conditions wise. A great Coast Guard day is winds up to Gale Force, seas reaching the worst sea state conditions, spray and rain blowing sideways and its cold!!!
You really can't fault Coasties for taking water over the bow on a safe boat...totally different bow and boat than a whaler or Carolina.
The "Boys in orange" are angels with wings!!!! They saved my life!
Just retired after 30 years of running CG boats. I started out on the 44’ MLB. Those boats weren’t afraid of shit!
I'm not sure the Coast Guard 33s can lose a round. They have shock absorbing seats and are self righting. That's a win no mater what.
I was thinking the same thing! How many of these boats can self right themselves😂
33 SPC LE is not self righting. 47' MLB and others CG vessels are.
saf t boat.
self righting and pumps on the roof.
badass.
Bilge pumps working overtime
Fascinating. I gotta learn more about these cool-ass boats.
It's probably a Break-in coxswain behind the the throttles on the USCG 33' boat.

What! No everyone in the boat not sitting in the bow today? 🤣
I think the PooPoo were being a little lazy and brought the boat out for a rinse down. Cheers ✌
Seems to me that any one of them that doesn't sink is a win.
Is the haulover like the drivers ed for boating over there or something? I've seen smarter boaters in the ozarks and thats saying quite a lot

I don't know why I love the Midnight Express boats so much
You should try a ride along with the Coast Guard or a Police unit.
i would put on my life jacket
Anytime the going gets rough, make sure you are facing the back of the boat.
That way, every big wave is an exciting surprise!
@rich keylor First Cav/Vietnam, here: Then a career in the USCG. I miss the fun that the guys in this RHI were having.

I’d have given the USCG guys the win but your game your rules your calls.

Even the cop boats dont have their antennas straight up for best performance. What do they think they are outriggers?

was gonna say lol he loves the buzzwords

@@borysnijinski331 thanks from South Dakota had no idea
How many times can he say haulover in one sentence tho?
Plenty of horsepower on some boats featured on this channel but not enough size to be heading to the big water.
