Always brilliant ❤👍

[@rogerprice7704]

Incredible craft and so needed in many locations. I remember driving or attempting to drive one it’s not easy throttle then drifting and no brakes

[@rnli]

We're jealous that you got the chance to try driving one, Roger. They are incredible machines and very useful 👍

[@kingeve4905]

can’t wait till I’m old enough to volunteer!!

[@danielle2781]

[@cakeshoe]

Excellent job! By the way, how big of a wave can that type of craft deal with?

[@rnli]

Hi Jonathan, the hovercraft is restricted to operation in waves up to a height of 60cm (2 ft).

[@JettisonTheSupreme]

Is it true that every hard surface in the HC can be removed and used as a mud board, and that everything is waterproof (to hose down at the end of a muddy rescue)?

[@oscarosullivan4513]

I think so

[@will16320]

Can you steer a hovercraft?

[@tallman11282]

Of course you can, they wouldn't do much good if they could only travel in a straight line. There are large rudders on the back, behind the propulsion fans, that are used to steer the hovercraft. The rudders work similarly to how the rudder on the tail of an airplane works to turn the plane.
