COBIA GETS DESTROYED - DON'T DO THIS - BOAT FAIL | ROUGH INLETS | Boats at Jupiter Inlet
Where did the captain go wrong in this boat fail?
UPDATE - I did learn after posting this video that the front cooler on this vessel is removable and not glassed in like the current model. The boat handled it quite well considering the conditions, I was impressed it got back and kept from broaching over.
Craziest day of 2021 so far. Just when I was about to give up assuming no one would leave the inlet this Cobia sent it. Angry wave after angry wave crushes the boat as it crosses the outside bar at Jupiter. This boat came very close to flipping over as it turned right in front of a breaking wave. There is a lot to learn from this clip, let me know your thoughts down below.
All kinds of boats in Jupiter, FL Palm Beach County transiting one of the most dangerous inlets in Florida. These boats can get themselves in trouble easily if they don't use the correct speed and choose the right lines at Jupiter Inlet. Some weekends there are more awesome boats going in and out of Jupiter Inlet than a boat show. Enjoy the video and don't forget to hit that like button to support the channel.

It's all about training and humility. There's a woman who is a regular boater on one of these channels who goes out by herself in a relatively tiny boat in some really harsh conditions. I don't know her background (IE if she took classes, or grew up boating) but the point is her experience is what matters. Most of these problem videos are 1) tourists in a rental who have literally never captained a boat before, or 2) people who spend half a million dollars (or more) on a boat and think it's indestructible. If boating is something you're interested in, you can do it!

The COBIA did NOT get “destroyed”, as your title states. This is a very strong, safe and trustworthy boat. The three occupants (no qualified captain) were very lucky (they did not wear life jackets). Jupiter inlet risks demand that all occupants have life jackets. Some boat operators think it isn’t “cool” to have a life jacket.

Me and I retired a near coastal Masters license I held from 1983 until 2018. Back in about 1995 as I was making a turn right up for the entrance I caught a wave that literally turned a 61 ft steel hull crew boat into a surfboard that was moving faster than I I could at full throttle wave pressure locked my rudders. Missed the entrance bouy I mean by inches. Surfed that near 30 ft wave a mile into the entrance of Apra Harbor Guam over mile couldn't turn to starboard and managed to put the pressure on my hydraulic steering give me a little bit of rudder to Port and that's how I broke out of the wave into clean water inside the breakwater. Took every bit of skill and knowledge that I learned as a Coast Guard Boatswains Mate that day. That was the pilot boat, for the tug company. Had come back from about month-long vacation and for some reason the port engineer had dropped the engine from 2,225 RPM down to 1800 the vessels would not get up on plane, could only do 11 knots compared to the 16 knots it would do at the higher setting, which would have given a 1300 shaft horsepower out of those two 12v 71 twin turbocharged intercooled Detroit diesels in the engine room.

Learning this is done in less dangerous sea. There is also a sense of self preservation needed, understanding when it is time to turn. Keeping a margin within safety.

@gordonquigg9389 3 жыл бұрын

I live on the north shore of Oahu, where life guards go in and out of swells way bigger than this. There is a time to punch the throttle, and a time to let off. This guy could have easily made it out through those waves if he had punched it up to each wave and then as he hit it, back off enough to not launch in the air, only enough to get up through each wave. If you abort mission, and turn around in the surf, then you have to punch the throttle to get out from under the next wave that is going to roll the boat. If you keep going slow as the next wave hits you while you are going slow on a 45 degree angle, the wave is going to hit you, roll the boat and cause what is called a broch. Right before the broch happens you have to hit the throttle and head towards shore before the wave has a chance to roll you into a broch. The strakes on the hull upon punching the throttle take over and stabilize the boat in a turn. These techniques enable you to out race the given wave back towards shore. Of all places, the captain's of these boats should study these techniques and practice them.

It's a proven psychological phenomenon where realtively weak-minded, insecure 'sheeple' "follow the crowd" (which may be an astroturfed 'bot' army on social media) rather than follow their own moral compass, intuition or just plain common sense. Elon tried to rid twatter of the zillions of fake bot accounts but was 'fragged' by the anti-democratic forces embedded in the twatter/X platform and every other social media platform. Tic-Toc is a perfect example of a weaponized social media platform whose objective is to create and steer 'public opinion'.

Question: I'm trying to understand why boats cannot control broaching. I'm thinking that when this captain decides to head back in, and turns to port, that he should do a hard turn and gun the motors briefly to return to a perpendicular orientation to the waves. Is it because propellers lose thrust when overwhelmed by white water? I know that in high-diving they introduce air into the water where the diver enters to reduce impact. Maybe these captains ARE gunning their motors but the props are just spinning in 50% air. What do you think. I have successfully fought broaching in a Catalina 22 sailboat on the coast of Maine when heading back into port, but the waves were nothing like this.

Of course he used the engines or the there would be zero directional control. The boat is amazing, and could have enough buoyancy to be unsinkable, but it is not immune from being flipped, so, at the minimum, they were setting an example that could lead others to go out and die trying to do what they did.
