Coast Guard Boat in a Rough Sea

[BosnBill]

Canada built 47 foot Coast Guard boats that are self righting in about 30 seconds. The crew have to be strapped into their seats with multiple harnesses in rough seas. Don't try this in your boat.

I believe these are aluminium arun class boats as used by RNLI built in US for USCG this is a training school.

Checto river bar.

Don't think they are Aruns. The Arun was either 52' or 54'. This states 47'. The Waveney class 44' as used by the RNLI a few years back was based on a USCG boat.

Knowing that these monstrous waves are out there kind of puts me off boating really.

And as for going out into it volutarily for practise, I have great respect for those guys.

I believe this is the bar on the Columbia river, famous for it's big waves.
