I went on this hovercraft last year. Good fun for a day trip over to the IOW. My first ever trip though, was on one of the first hovercrafts, way back in the '60's, on a trip out of Ramsgate Harbour. Didn't see much as too much spray ending up on the windows. Then much later, took the car over to France from both Pegwell Bay Hoverport (was nr Ramsgate) and Dover on the big SR.N4. Only real complaint had to be the noise inside. If you do end up going to look/on this Hovercraft, don't stand behind. The grit that gets thrown up as it departs is enough to take your eyes out - didn't do my video camera much good.

I remember taking a hovercraft from UK to France *with a car* in the 70's. Very noisy. Like the Hong Kong to Macau hydrofoil - also very memorable.

I'd been hovering between Ramsgate and Calais in summer 1978, when my parents picked me up in North Wales, where I spent my summer vacation in the PPSC Camp. The hovercraft was much langer, than that one here and it was able to Tage cars with it.

@ruk2023-- 9 ай бұрын

They have life rafts and life jackets and it won't just immediately sink if the skirt fails.

@AndrewCZ47 9 ай бұрын

AFAIK it has to be able to float with engines off, part of the safety code. So it would be the same as losing engines on a boat - be ready to evacuate if things get worse, otherwise wait for a tow.

@UKWMO 9 ай бұрын

As has been said above it can float when not on its cushion of air. The base of craft has watertight compartments allowing it to float. Also its lift is not operated by a compressor. It has large fans which draw in air and create lift which is trapped under the craft by the black rubber skirt.

@bazra19 6 ай бұрын

No Compressor, lift is done by Fans, if everything fails they cannot sink, all they will do is sit down on the water. Then wait till be rescued they can't be towed, too much drag.

The service runs on the south coast of England between Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight. A word of warning; it can be a rather rough ride when the water is choppy. I don't get sea sick easily, but a trip on one of those things once showed me my limits.

No more expensive than Wightlink’s catamaran service. At least the hovercraft is beach to beach. Wightlink’s catamaran drops you off at the end of Ryde pier which you then have walk down or catch the train. It’s the fastest ferry to the island so if its convenience and speed you’re after then this is it.

This isn't "genius" at all, it's the last remaining example in the UK of conked out old, and ruinously carbon-expensive technology. This final vestige of what was thought new and brilliant 60 years ago is engaged in only a very short-hop ferry service across the Solent from he Isle of Wight to a place near Portsmouth. All other hovercraft services were scrapped long ago, and no doubt this one will be soon, too.
