Most people dont want to slow down when conditions get rough but that is an inescapable necessity.

High speed boat handling. The chine flats and spray strakes forward deflect spray down and out the higher speed capability allows these boats to drive past the spray and spray is generated farther aft along the hull in the first place so less of it lands on the windshield. The wind ripped my sunglasses off my head and pulled all the saliva out of. This can lead to flipping barrel-rolling or tossing a passenger or two over the side.

From here we started our passage plan and did some high-speed turns. The following different factors should be considered to determine safe speed. The hydrofoil system incorporates the use of wings or lifts to raise the boat from the surface of the water and move forward.

As when driving a car down the highway focus on a point in the distance but pay constant attention to your peripheral vision. This reduces friction allowing speed to be maintained with less power. But the devil is in the turning and a big part of safe handling at speed is understanding proper turning techniques.

High Speed Boat Training K-Sim Fast Craft Simulator is designed for highly realistic and immersive training in high-speed navigation boat handling and tactical operations. The fastest Ive ever gone in a boat is 116 mph. We finished our time on the water with some final coming alongside practice and close quarters handling.

When traveling at 70-mph your boat moves forward 102 feet per second. One of the most common ways people get into trouble is by yanking the wheel around too fast. Our Instructors personally guides each student through advance skill training and terminal performance objectives required to safely operate the faster boats.

Prop cavitation If the props start sucking air ventilation the boat will lose both speed and control. For multi-step V Hull and Catamarans that operating at speeds above 75MPH limited to 125MPH. The system of hydrofoil in a high speed craft was simultaneously used along with the hovercraft system.
