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!

That would be my worst nightmare senario. Thats just hard to watch.

That was hard to watch...I cant imagine. Thats why we left the lids off Stylin when we rigged it

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.
