Hey Capt Willy. Ok I have just a couple of questions. On that rope that you attached to that ship, what is the pulling strength? And if you push a big ship like that aren't you scared of putting a dent in the ship? This kind of stuff is really exciting to watch. Thanks Capt Willy

Hey now! I believe that line can hold up to 100+ tons before it gives away and we never pull over 90. Also as long as you don’t come hard into the ship you’ll have no problems. You do have to be really careful tho. Thanks for watching 🫡
