I must be missing something, what's the "scary" bit?

Tim

Limbs being minced springs to mind. Some things really amaze me.

That is err quite ...well scary yes.

I would be very supprised if these things were "standard practise" the bunch of SNSM crews from Dinard that we (Venturers) have a twinning reationship with are a very good, professional bunch.

Looks like madness -- maybe its a jet drive?

DJL · 12 January 2008, 20:39

Regardless of whether its jet, shaft or stern drive I doubt at those speeds you'd be able to any part of your body near the prop - the force of the water flowing under the boat would keep you clear.

Does seem a slightly odd thing to be doing though.

I think the guy standing up at the front of the RIB coming along side was in the most precarious situation.

I don,t think it matters how the boats propelled its bl**dy bad practice just waiting for something nasty to happen
