Thunder Child II & Wildcat 40 testing in Storm Gareth

[@samuelspade889]

It’s cool how the boat comes with its own dramatic music and slo-mo.

[@CG-cw3ps]

Every time. I can't get over the beautiful hull design.

[@richardgiles2484]

Always loved seeing the entrance to Cork on our way to Croshaven regardless of the weather but sometimes wish I could have been on one of your boats 🤣🤣

[@parkerbaillon6231]

Videos of boats like these are what inspire me to peruse marine engineering. Thank you for creating them.

[@skunkjobb]

It inspires me to stay ashore when the waves are too high...

[@peregrinegrace8570]

As an owner of a classic yacht i never tire of these videos. Knowing how great this mastery of the sea is and how far we've come. Well done Safehaven.

[@andypreston1524]

Stunning video Frank, lovely boats too! That Dolphin having a play was the icing on the cake! Thanks and best regards 👍👍👍

[@strikes7417]

Epic footage with the dolphin

[@mikko5390]

it was paid actor

[@gjmob]

I couldn't see the porpoise !

[@2bitrasputin793]

@@mikko5390 Charlie Tuna, I believe.

[@jamespatterson6972]

At 1st, I thought it was computer generated dolphin. How lucky one can be to catch a shot of a dolphin at that particular moment.

WOW! AMAZING!! I wish I could just sit here and watch it all day,I wish it was longer!!!

One word for the Wildcat 40 - Beautiful!

[@lunamaria1048]

That dolphin was a paid actor

[@keithpowell1357]

Stunning, boat, video, sea, wildlife, I would love to be on board one off those test days.

[@abyssalreclass]

God damn! Those boats don't fuck around! Awesome footage.

[@lunkerjunkiestv186]

I was a little skeptical of that inverted hull design when it first started being used, but it has turned out to be quit the game changer in big oceans! Pretty impressive!!

[@gazseddon7939]

Mind blowing performance from these boats. I'd love a ride on the Thunderchild. ;-)

[@betthat313]

It will impress me when they take it out to the baring sea during the deadly crab season .or on the great lakes during a big storm. Those two place made a lot of ships disappear like Houdini.

[@Mightbeok]

Those some really cool boats! 😮

[@planetzion7]

wonderfully shot video....really well done

[@FentonFromTrenton320]

Amazing boats... Designed well- to take on some serious chops... Make sure to load up on the Dramamine😊👍🌊🌊🌊

[@DieselPumpUK]

I didn’t want this video to end.

[@CHEVYSORCROWNS]

@1:02 you can see the dolphin jump simultaneously.

[@larryslemp9698]

Gee thanks, Captain Obvious!!

[@chefgiovanni]

Well done Captain. I would be comfortable in the galley.

[@baginatora]

I don't know the purpose of the Thunderchild II, but than side shot with the dolphin just makes it all worth the effort! Epic!

[@PDScally]

Fantastic film of Thunder Child II

[@Trevor_Austin]

There’s a touch of the Jules Verne’s with the rearward raked bow. Now it would like so see it given the berries on a calm sea. Great stuff.

[@sealandersound2617]

Trevor Austin This vessel was designed for high speed in mild to moderate seas....I think the beans in that weather would be more impressive.....calm water wouldn’t allow you the privilege of seeing that bow axe it’s way through the water like it does....so impressive!

[@A.B.-zs8ir]

Slamin video, that dolphin jumpin at the same time was epic, Bravo👏👍🇺🇸 The ocean has a way of letting us humans know how small we really are, truly magnificent

[@miguelsalami]

With that music playing I almost thought the Messiah was comming.

[@AdrianxGill]

Very cool and keeping the dolphins happy too!

[@muhdharith2790]

1:01 did anyone notice a fish fly above water surface? Dolphin maybe

[@charlesharper2357]

It was a dolphin...and they aren't a fish.

[@MountainFisher]

@@charlesharper2357 They are not dolphins either, technically they are porpoises. A dolphin in Florida, or Dorado in the Caribbean and Mahi Mahi in Hawaii.

[@mikespears2432]

Beautiful vessel but why did you cut the shot every time the bow was about to hit the water? Would have liked to see how it handled when the bow went under.

[@johnparsons9084]

Me too. Previous videos of Thunderchild do the same. I have a feeling Thunderchild slaps the water hard as well as submarining the bow. Not knocking it. It’s designed for long distance record runs....not a pilot boat. You’d have a lot better chance of retaining your tooth fillings in one of Safehaven’s pilot boats.

[@notfound379]

I'd take the visibility of the Wildcat in a heart beat over that beautiful, high speed, flying submarine. I know which one will turn heads at the dock and I know which one I'd trust in bad blue water. You're one window away from a bad day. Different use cases.

[@MrDrivingFaster]

Looks ready for the Aegean in August.

[@waitemc]

Wicked looking craft , just amazing

[@williamfowler8924]

The catamaran turned around nicely being wide and cut waves great. What motor do theses boats need? Maybe a gallon a mile in fuel ? To bad they don't run on fish power.

[@look3467]

Question? why are there not fins on the front of the boat so that when it hits a wave the boat dives in instead of being upended and possibly flipped?

[@edmarfioravante1484]

A Azimut break in the middle!!! Magnífico

[@jimwortham8634]

Thanks you too sitting here drinking hot coffee early morning wish I was there

[@larryslemp9698]

Excellent, professional filming!!

[@daasboot81]

The dolphin was like, "Wanna go for a rip with me bud?"

[@railroad9000]

What is the propulsion machinery in both?

[@chipsramek3868]

The Thunder Child looks great if going straight up in the air in choppy seas is what your after...GREAT EURO DESIGN....that's all.

[@patriot1303]

Sour grapes

[@MrEmanuel1223]

that is awesome !!!! hmmmm how do you sleep or eat and for that matter how does one use the head ??!

[@PatHaskell]

Seems like most of the footage was of Thunderchild II.

[@Trollingtrollssince]

Wildcat went down

[@Trollingtrollssince]

@@muthrfuqrjonz3530 bruh chill out talking crazy over a simple comment. The guy was just saying. Talking bout no naps the fuck is ur dick issue. U need a new hobby or something? Cyber bullying get u off or something? I'd take a step back before u get put on display...

[@themeatchannel1134]

Woooooow !!!! Fantastic video!

[@kirbylee57]

I dont know much about these boats taking on rough seas like we just saw, but this boat didnt look like it was no more the boss than any other boat its size. Actually it was getting shoved, bounced, and rocked anyway the sea wanted for its own amusement.

[@smitty2868]

What are these boats designed to do besides appear in rough sea trials? How could you save anyone in those conditions especially if you have the topside sealed in case you are capsized? Good videos but would like to see the boats true functions not just there stability in a storm environment. Thanks for the upload.

[@qazwsxedcbob5791]

smitty2868 the thunder child can flip itself back if it’s capsized

[@smitty2868]

@@qazwsxedcbob5791 Yes, I watched the trials and the amazing footage but what is the boat's primary function? A rescue boat, a recreational boat, a research vessel or what and more importantly who or what would require them to be able to perform such a feat? What could the boat do usefully in such sea states?

[@prayashbaniya6434]

u little shit why dont u accept their sucession respect the design this is of one of the best stable manuabariable platform they have worked very hard

Is the thunder child 2 and the other boat for sale or where to buy from??

[@johnaugsbury1638]

I really like that Wildcat 40

[@mikecorleone6797]

People get upset when i go out in rough seas with my 40 footer... relax guys it’s just waves..

[@deemiller943]

Mike CorLeoné Truth , but it's the inlets that get you...

[@mikecorleone6797]

Maybe for rookies but this boat has 800hp on twin screws.. no issues as long as we stay center channel. Came back from catalina island 2 weeks ago during a small craft advisory, no issues. My daughter enjoyed the 5-7 foot swells. I was surprised with how well she took it haha. Usually kids freak out

[@DB-xc3jc]

Mike CorLeoné Wow, you da man, Catalina.., must be marina del rey, treacherous.., not!

[@mikecorleone6797]

DB3 says the guy that most likely fishes from the rock wall.. February was no joke out there.. 6-8 foot swells, 40mph winds.. you’d shit yourself

[@framfull]

Awesome machinery!!

[@aguagou]

Una maravilla de embarcación, felicitaciones 👍👍👏👏🙌🙌🙌

[@andreireal9158]

amazing! love those sea trials vids!

Nice shot with the rainbow!

[@robertallen8386]

Would love a go in this

[@aleksngm8801]

superb design. Congratulations! When comes the trimaran for long distances with anti pirates equipment? ...a more flexible platform to play with

[@johngregory4801]

Anti+pirate equipment would consist of M2 machine guns and 20mm cannons.

[@dadof3smellykids]

how about a version without slow mo every time it peirces a wave.... ?

[@danilejes8371]

Need to get cockpit closer to the front, and the front v at least 5 ft deeper, deeping too much in the front ....it can't be all looks...is amazing smthing used to imagine me doing, smthing i invented in my mind exist, and some one is doing it....(good for you)..this life is amazing...

[@janlester7088]

Very cool footage 1:04

[@nldmaster]

Maybe the coolest vid ever at 1:05.

I want a Thunder Child II, but can't afford Taco Bell.

[@robertsrt]

austin1839 🤣

[@markbailey6051]

A lot of shots jumping but the shot is cut before re entering. Maybe a design flaw?

[@johnlewis9649]

The vids jumped around too often. My perspective. Otherwise, angle to wave and speed are important.

[@Imwright720]

Beautiful boats.

[@alexrodaro1]

Beautiful boat but 1/3 of the total lenght of boat doesn't have room inside, just like the Missouri hull...

[@alexbrewer3675]

That Thundercat hull should come with a PGMA rating.

Boats look cool, the dolphin looked better.

Status report?

[@islandman4041]

Outstanding...wow😮

[@joebudi5136]

Anyone notice they kept cutting out the picture right before that big beak of a deck crests a wave? I bet it goes totally under water and acts like a sea anchor. That makes no sense. Every single angle of it going over a big wave is cut out right before the beak I mean deck gets to wave level. Change my mind!!!

[@mainh]

Wildcat 40 is unsinkable?

[@kennethm.pricejr.8921]

A catamaran hydrographic survey vessel; had to see it to believe it!

[@colinashby3775]

Not sure if this was a music video? Obviously the makers don’t want us to hear the storm and wind and waves and boats
