Pilot boat, Ederra 7 off Roches Point, Cork, Ireland in a gale

[@Miata822]

What a beast of a boat! I don't tend toward seasickness but seeing that drone pilot in the cabin focusing on a little screen 3:45 as the boat rolls through breakers... he must have an iron stomach.

[@akimateru7980]

It's not the boat..it's the captain..he is a beast..

I would be a shattered vomiting mess if I was aboard this incredible boat. Hats off to those who pilot her.

[@bristleconepinus2378]

time for a wee dram after a ride like that, that sea is probably nothing for those guys. well done.

[@petersharp90]

How about the guy looking at his phone at 3:45? Makes me feel nauseous just thinking about it.

[@dne50]

Yep. A thrilling ride if you weren't terrified out of your mind. I, unfortunately would be terrified out of my mind!

[@ats-3693]

Me too, I'd be the ideal man to have aboard on a fishing trip though, I'd put a nice continuous chum line over the side..

[@voornaam3191]

Start DOING something on board. Ask for some task. Maybe learn steering such a ship, when you are in control, you really feel better at sea. When you expect vomit, you are asking for it. Do you understand?

[@kepler186f4]

That's a tough little boat, the music suits it perfectly! That ship is better than a lot of yachts. Great photography!

[@barrymoreman]

Amazing boat and skipper, drone operator zoned in ... super video and boat

[@jaford2]

Incredible how she rides the waves up-, down- and cross-wind, talk about bluff bows!

[@mikemichaels1875]

The drone pilot deserves an academy award for his drone flying and l looking down at the screen. Good production. Amazing boat.

[@paulhoughton5164]

What a beautiful craft. If I didn’t know better I could swear she’s enjoying every moment of that . Woohoo!!! “Look what I can do!”

[@pauljames9527]

Frank you are absolutely amazing mate, probably the best boats on the planet

[@jeffmech600]

They finally built a usable boat. The last 2 were awesome but coast guard wants boats like this. Awesome build

[@4406bbldb]

This is so refreshing to watch. Navy guy here.

[@edwardmacintosh9476]

That is one great sea boat. It takes the Segway really well for a 40 ft boat. I do note that she is really powered to her limit for safe operation , but that margin makes her perform well. Great design ,& kudos to her builders and designers. Tks guys.

[@toddhastings5548]

You guys are becoming great maritime cinematographers

[@Sailing360]

obscenely well flown and shot.

[@trentmeidinger6160]

Wow, a great boat in beautiful water! Would love to be out in those conditions. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@BeeSting862]

What impressed me was how dry the deck remained, despite attempts to bury the bow into the troughs! That is what I call a good design!

[@loki7441]

Fantastic Boats and great seamanship handling the swells. You should be supplying our Lifeboat service with their boats. Back in my youth ,over forty years ago I was a member of a voluntary life guard group which covered two of the longer beaches in Dublin along side the Corporation life guards. We had a 14 ft dory with a 25 horsepower engine. It used to be great fun trying to get through the surf on a windy day, I must add anybody using the boat was given training. The use of the throttle to get over the wave was hammered into us. There was only one capsize that remember; during a regatta we were covering ,but it wasn't the only one that day. Keep up the good work. Wish you every success.

[@geoffreytoomey682]

Good test conditions and well controlled by the expert skipper on the wheel,

[@bateauboy1]

I love it. Beautiful videography of a beautiful vessel.

[@sheepdog1102]

When you look up “bad ass” in the dictionary you will see a picture of this boat! Great video and great job building such a beast of a boat!

[@sheepdog1102]

Great footage again. I'm in awe! Thanks for sharing Frank and team!

[@philhardwick100]

I love these videos. I would love to be there. So exciting! The power of the ocean is amazing.

[@Chris-bz6wl]

One helluva boat and captain!

[@PhilbyFavourites]

What an amazing hull shape. No sign of stuffing either into the waves or down the surf. And the way she rode the beam on seas was unreal. Capable isn’t the word for that vessel, outstanding more like.

[@jondonais689]

MAGNIFICENT! small boat but deadly can fright big waves! thanks for sharing guys!

[@johnyves1246]

As an old and highly experienced airline pilot that has flown through the most terrible weather systems, I can honestly say that you would never catch me aboard such vessel as I would certainly pass out after only a few minutes of such punishment. My hat to those rescuers !

[@teresasmith8946]

Can you imagine navigating such waters in a wooden sailing ship? Cheers to the Captain of this vessel! Magnificent, not anything I would care to experience lol but magnificent all the same.

[@DG73841]

Excellent drone work

[@mmmbass6068]

Now THAT is what I call fun!

[@brynstephens4624]

Just the way I love it. She handles the big water beautifully.

[@darrenwoodward3779]

OMG!....Amazing vessel...as for the crew...balls of steel, and know their s**t...so much respect 😎

[@seamusreilly6522]

Fabulous drone work. And Ederra is a fantastic boat.

[@bobyoung1698]

Reminds me of a modern day PT boat. It must be quite a thrill to maneuver through those waves like that.

[@jamesmason8944]

That is incredible, and they even took time to catch something for tea.

[@scomo532]

Hell of a nice boat, she handles herself well in that breaking seaway. Looks like a blast, wish I could have been theyah and taken the helm for a while. I owned a 22’ Sisu bass boat, she was a great sea boat as well.

[@N101-b8x]

Great job!! Fun to watch

[@jamesjoyce5611]

it holds its course impeccably, hats off to the hull. i take the internal vibrations/noise in those conditions warrants the headphones for suppression as much as comms

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

I was a sailor on a WW 2 Gearing class destroyer during Viet Nam. She rode the seas pretty much like this video quite often. If you doubt, ask another Tin Can sailor.

[@liabilitymate4750]

Yep my Dad was in a tin can Destroyer in Nam as well says the same thing. HMAS Hobart. A Charles F Adams class Destroyer.

[@bateauboy1]

Earnie Pyle, the WW2 journalist, said Tin Can Sailors should get Submariner and Aviation Hazardous duty pay. They spend half their time airborne and half their time under water.

[@SouthCoastDronesUK]

Stunning footage you have some serious skills and are a very lucky man to have such an incredible job like that well done 👍

[@texasboy5117]

What a great pilot boat. It really cuts right through heavy water. Would love to see this boat at Haulover inlet on a bad day.

[@janetschwartz1790]

The power of the engine in this tiny vessel is amazing. It cuts the waves up like it was butter. I bet it's such great fun to just take it out like this on a trial and not have to be out rescuing people.

[@rebornsmith7542]

I actually give full props to the drone guy, who is in the boat, looking at that tiny screen and not getting motion sickness.

[@s.v.corycia5643]

Wonderful! I love the sea like this! Thank you.

[@eastcorkmarine]

She looks amazing in a following sea. As always excellent footage by the drone and the editor for bringing it all together 👏.

[@allaboutyachting]

That's my kinda boating I like 👍🏻 Would be nice having something similar as a private boat.

[@mkp3824]

Some of those swells looked a good 15 feet! Nice boat!

[@danielarrate669]

Awesome yet dangerous ride! Thanks for sharing. Be well

[@FamilyFlippers]

I love your videos, I love your boats. As a boater, it's Mesmerizing to watch.

[@procatprocat9647]

Quad copter pilot is the hero here. He's getting pummeled in the boat while trying to fly and film the bobbing boat that he's on. He must have an incredible sense of balance

That drone pilot must have been as sick as a dog. Looking outside is doable, but at the same time looking at a screen out of another moving vehicle in the air... what a legend! Looks like a great ship by the way.

Couldn’t agree more. People want the sharpest pictures possible, but then are happy to drown out the sound with clichéd bombastic trailer-music. I will never understand.
