Apparently this was a ferry that went out from a port somewhere in New Zealand.

I wonder how a Supercat would have handled itself in those kind of waves?

Hey Wessel
Two comments
Now I know why they close the back doors on those things; its to stop the cars, trucks and people from falling out!
You know those frp rods they put on dune buggies? Well the NZ buggers put two solid flag poles up on theirs but forgot the flags!
Nice video tho

I watched the praqctice rescue........twice.
To me, in alot of the camera angles and shots, their boat sure looks like a model boat, I suspect it is and the whole video is a fake. No right minded rescue group would go out in that, especially for a training run.

here's some more,
the monster wave is nasty, breaks a few windows.

I am impressed with the grabrails in that rescue craft, (black rat posting)
they seem to prevent people from flying upwards off the deck and backwards over the transom.
Why not use that rescue craft as a charter boat - no matter what the weather is doing, the charter will be going outYou may even earn a few extra frequent flyer points while you are out there

Its reall!Originally Posted by Marlin_Mike
I lived in California for a year on the coast and have watched them back there rescue boat into the beach in a huge swell then power out over/through everything just for practice. I surfed with a guy who was rescue jumper on a coast guard helicopter. The place were they filmed that rescue boat is at the entrance to river where they have a training base for all the extreme rescue training.
Another rescue

Marlin mike, ozlongborader is right, and every coastguard skipper in america has to train through that bar, to be qualified.
