Illegal not to wear life jackets in NZ for these size boats. But what is it with the basics of weight distribution?

Lifejackets suck during nice weather - but the kids should always wear them when underway.

100% seem to me like everyone has the engine tucked instead of slightly trimmed, especially for the low bow riders

No idea what that means.

Trim is definitely a foreign term to these folks.

Man !!! No shit !!!! Unreal aint it ?

@@theblackspotguild , he had the motor trimmed down, where the motor was trying to push the bus down. You trim it up, and it raises the bow. The "Captain" had probably never had a boat driving lesson in his life.

I highly highly doubt if you’re making a wake that it would make a bit of difference going through there. The waves are already bigger than any boats wake. I think the thinking behind the “no wake zone” is because it’s a fairly narrow canal with lots of back and forth traffic so they don’t want ppl blasting through there too close to other boats. Either way this Canal is a perfect example of why a lot of ppl should be required to take a boaters safety course upon purchase of a boat because there is just too many morons and ppl that lack common sense out there.

These people that can't figure out riding in the bow in those conditions should not have a boat

Personally, and as an owner of a bow rider, I think the problem here is not so much the boat but the distribution of weight within the boat and the failure of the ‘captain’ to recognise and react to the dangerous situation he was about to put his passengers in. Correct speed, trim and weight distribution would have seen the boat go through there without too much issue in my opinion.

It has to do with weight as well for bow riders

@DeusVult1527 I agree that bow riders are not designed for those conditions. However, any competent skipper would have got that boat through there without sinking it and putting their passengers in danger, which was the comment I was making.

This man has the answer!!! It's a two part solution to keep this from happening! Moving all the weight from the front to the back is just as important in almost each of these situations. I don't understand why these people are in the front to begin with? That's the worst place to sit when there's even a moderate chop. My dad was a captain and was always reminding us to stay in the back of the boat when underway. Even when it's calm, you can hit a wake and send everyone flying. Next to the No Wake sign, there should be a Sit In The Back sign. 😄

​@@Jonathan.D exactly 😮

I LOVE the 1st boat, when they know they are in trouble the guy runs to the back to have the woman dump out the beer and then someone is using a little cup to bail the boat :)

@trvman1 They definitely had no clue and just panicked. That is the fault of the "Captain" of the vessel. He should have moved the people to the back to prevent more water from coming over the front. If the deck had scuppers, the deck could have drained out. The first thing I always install on my boats is scuppers. If you take water over the bow, you throttle up, and the water runs right out. I had a little 17' skiff that got filled to the gunnels when a larger boat swamped us. All I did was give it full throttle, and in less than a minute, it was empty.

@@Jonathan.D Not to mention that most bow riders, the end of the bow's slope down make a nice scoop.

The boat was trying to be a submarine. Totally wrong hull for those conditions.

... even tho he didn't really "use" the available power. Or trim. Or brains.

@@pippin1ful wrong skipper probably never even took a safe boating course

There were several times during that event where even a reasonably competent person at the helm could have saved it. The people at the front (and probably everyone else aboard as well) thought everything was just fine even when it was obvious that they were done. He could have trimmed up, had everyone get to the back of the boat, and got on the power a bit and changed to a 45 degree angle in order to get to the calm water ahead and let the pumps do their job. Of course, he did none of those things and just decided to keep on keepin’ on!! Haha!!

When they start trying to run the canal with no clue and no respect on a busy weekend then it becomes a problem. The great thing about the canal back in the day was that those who shouldn't be in there stayed out because of its reputation. It has gotten worse but its not the canal, its traffic from all these new credit card captains half of which manage to find that sweet spot where they make the biggest wake possible and the rest do 2 knots SOG with the tide in a 23 foot outboard that can just barely keep control and bitch when they're looking up at the anchor of a 35 Henriques thats doing 8 knots at idle...

Why being from the Netherlands is relevant?

lol@@Gyuresssz

@@Gyuresssz Because NL is situated on the northsea, with the entire western and northern border. We are the delta of 3 major European rivers (Rhine, Meuse and Schelde) Half of NL is below sealevel. We created much of it by taking it from the sea. Weve been seafearing for 1000s of years. Tiny as we are, we ruled the worlds seas for a century. Everyone is a sailor here, as we are all raised with water and all are married to the sea. Every native can swim and passed 1 or more exams to prove it. For going out in motorized boats like these, or even sailing boats, you need to study the rules and pass the exam for that. For westerschelde, where i live, you need 2 even, bc its a busy shipping lane with the worlds biggest ships coming through. Passing that exam is needed for every river, sea arm and sea. Only on small inlands waters (not rivers) you are allowed to boat without a license and engine hp's are very limited for those. (usually 5hp or smth) and then there still are speed restrictions. Every dutch boy spends numerous hours and days on the beach. Thats the thing your parents buy you; a bucket and a shovel. And then you can go study the water, as it takes down your sandcastles when the tide comes in. And you learn on a small scale how water behaves. Thats what we do and what we are. And those rules and so are in place bc of many deaths on the water or by the water. And even with those rules, people still die. But not as much as it used to be. What you see in this video (and more like it) would NEVER be allowed in NL. There is NO way. If anyone would try, they would probably jail them. And for good reason, bc what these idiots are doing is asking for casualties. Those bow rider and other constructs have no place even near a sea. And then they are on there with children and babies even, without life jackets. No wonder there is continuous guard by water police, bc without the number of casualties would be staggering. A kid or even adult can easily be swept from the boat on those bow riders. Then with some whirling there, possibly undercurrent, you can fish up a dead body somewhere around there, bc you are not going to be able to save them.

There not 'Skippers' there yahoos that's the problem.

and, one time of making your passengers that scared, they will not want to go out again

Bow riders shorter than 20ft would eat up those swells with the bow up. Only boat that doesn’t belong there are the pond toons. Everyone is trimmed down in they’re center consoles and I’d cruise right on past in my 17’8” sea swirl bow rider with the bow up. Only commented because my bow rider has ran 12 miles out in the keys in 7-8 swells and it also runs 14 inches of water no jackplate just trimmed. Bow riders are the best bang for your buck guaranteed. At least used ones.

I get your point, but the speed of other boats is what the causes the most problems here. We’ve been out there when the water is glass and one douche bag speeding thru can ruin ur day real fast. I get what ur saying tho, he handled that like a clown.

Clearly a large portion of these ‘captains’ don’t know “starboard and port”…and they certainly don’t know the Right of Way Rules…

Probably the best one of the video. They also gave a shit about thr kids. You could see the mom telling them to move and they had lifejackets on. Thry took the situation seriously .

Yeah... All of these "captains" in this video be like: "What's a trim?"

I know, right? Is it because they only boat a few months of the year? All the nautical knowledge gets frozen and shattered during the winter months?

That’s because they never learned even the basics of handling a boat and really shouldn’t be allowed the responsibility of being a Captain. I’m sure they have no idea that, as Captain, they are personally responsible for the safety of every soul onboard their boat.

The bridge may have been replaced but that ledge and deep hole are still there. That boat didn't leave a standing wave, the current dropping off that shelf then coming back up makes it.

And I feel bad for the tug style boat but the moment Karen-shouldntwearabikini started bitching I enjoyed it. The wife of some credit card captain is gonna tell me how to run the canal GFY lady. I've got 6 knots of current and a boat with an ass bigger than hers, tooty the tug and Mrs CCCaptain may be able to maintain steerage but the sport boat is gonna see his stern pass him on 2 whistles if he tries to hold up behind them.

In Michigan you take a class in 6th grade and your boaters license is good for life. I never understood how this made sense.

This is a canal that joins the Manasquan River with the Northern End of Barnegate Bay. When the tide is going out the canal sucks all the water out of the bay to the River causing a VERY STRONG CURRENT. To get back into the bay on an out. Going tide you are facing at least a 20knot current, resulting I. The need for higher speeds, but no enough to endanger other boats. Back in The day we used to go one at a time, like driving in your own lane on the road. Today everyone is in such a rush and they don’t think about the damage their boats do.

Good info, thank you.

The only one who tried, and actively worked the throttle, was the pontoon boat. Should have moved everybody to the back and made sure EVERYONE had life jackets on before entering that battlefield, and he didn't react quickly enough, but he at least had a decent grasp of what to do once it hit the fan.

​@@notexpatjoeif you want to be that pedantic, the *actual* correct solution is to balance your boat however it needs to be balanced. With a decent bow that might be midship, but for others including pontoons, depending on load out, you may well want to put people as far rear as possible. The only definitively bad idea is putting people, or maybe children on the bow.

At risk of being pedantic, I'm not so sure outboard trim is always good for raising the bow. At slow speeds the prop is pumping water out from under the back of the boat and trimming out will add more weight by pushing the water higher. Then the cantilevered portion in the front of the boat (if any) has to be supported by the center going deeper. A big factor seems to be the short waves when the shape between peaks happens to match the curve of the boat. Shallow water compared to wave height causes that, I think, no matter what causes the wave's height.
