South Esk & Ederra 7 Interceptor 48 pilot boats rough weather sea trials

Here’s a nice video of the recent sea trials with ‘South Esk’, a new Interceptor 48 pilot boat for the Montrose Port Authority in Scotland. It was fairly rough during our sea trial days with a fair bit of wind, and although it was touch and go flying the drone, we managed to capture some wonderful video of her and Ederra 7 at the entrance to Cork Harbour in a gale.

I just love watching these videos, as a boat owner myself I just love seeing what these boats are capable of.

These sea trial videos have to be a really good advert and show case for your products. Great looking and brilliant performing craft.

I could watch these boats all day! Great video and congratulations on another beast of a boat!

[@darrenhillman8396]

Incredible footage - amazed the drone was able to operate in such high winds! Safehaven sure do build tough boats! Thanks for posting this! 👍🏻👏🏻

Dear Frank, I think it is about time you lay up some merchandise for this great stuff. Really impressive.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Never ceases to amaze me, the stability of your boats in rough weather. Stay safe.

[@joselolivera251]

We are proud to own your boats Frank! Keep going!!!

[@lucianosilva2531]

Impressive!

Your success in this business is well deserved. You build a beautiful product. Well done to you and your team!

Fantastic footage👌👍👊🍀

I think DJI have underestimated the ability of the Mavic to operate in gnarly wind conditions! I’m amazed that it was able to fly in GF8 conditions! I would love to have a decommissioned pilot boat to take out in rough weather 🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@paulmarc7116]

wow love your diligence in these conditions. keep up the great work

[@rollinrock6696]

Fantastic!

Great action as always! Love your vids!

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

I can watch these videos all day.

[@owynpham1478]

I couldn't imagine the fortitude you'd have to have to be thrown around like that in rough seas. Talk about trusting your training and your vessel.

[@lionelfournier]

As always: amazing footage, wonderful boats and incredible skills in the waves!

Have a nice trip, my dear

[@davegoldsmith2588]

Amazing boat and amazing drone skills for such high winds.

[@zekeahoy2891]

nice show

[@Alex-do9jm]

Hey frank This is the new design pilot boat? Will you apply it to all the pilots boat you produce?

[@mervswan1121]

Awesome Frank :) U know what we like ah, Thanks :)

[@edwardpardy7866]

How about building a 'bombproof' sailboat that will keep us cruisers out there without needing a rescue? Otherwise I may have to buy one of your power boats....

[@cargoships]

The waves are too strong

[@offshore.anglers]

Would be good to have a walkaround to see the hull shapes when these boats are out of the water, and to explain what makes them so effective in rough sea

[@mattimatkalainen]

That might be giving away some industrial secrets to why these boats are so gret n rough weather.
