- Description
- Safety boat for the RNLI pursuit race at SYC. With both Windguru and the Met Office Inshore forecasting F6 gusting F8, it was always going to be "interesting". The race was abandoned after about half an hour when it was gusting about F7 - but with not too many boats on the water (and only one broken mast). As we were heading back to the slipway, the gusts did reach F8 with so much spray being raised off the water it was hard to see ahead from the rib! No major problems though. There's a video <a href="https://player.vimeo.com/video/243418606" target="_blank">here</a> that shows some of the "action". Starts off looking quite benign but quickly shows that it was proper windy.
