Hi Guys
I came across this video of the "reconstructed" rescue of an Italian UIM Class 1 crew from back in 1993 during the Guernsey International Powerboat Week.
I loved watching the races in Guernsey back when I lived there, and hope you guys enjoy the footage of both the race boats, and the rescue of the drivers that crashed out (successfully luckily). Guernsey has a 30' tidal rise and fall, and the video shows what can happen if you don't know where the rocks are LOL.
Guernsey operates a Marine Ambulance due to the outlaying islands not having land based medical facilities, and it certainly seemed to help during this rescue!

This is why I check everything that I do and why you are required to go through a dunker cell test every year. We also have tools to get through that hatch if it is indeed stuck.
