Africans are hardcore bad asses!

obviously a self opinionated little limey chickenshit who has never been here and has never seen how long the coastline is..... we have plenty boat ramps....but unlike you twats we coat our hulls with glatex 8 so we don't rip them up....we don't launch nice and safe from our pools like you

-

wow how do u fuck that up
-
I agree the writing is annoying ! So did not watch after 2 mins
-
The tilt trailers are the key!
-
Wow crazy. Always wonder how they launches in place like these.
-
I would think after a few hundred launches and retrievals the sand would be eating away at the bottoms.
-
All the stupid writing is VERY annoying. Thumbs down.

Launched my boat on both the east and west coast near Cape Town, always from a boat launch in a harbour.
Boats with a single motor limited to one nautical mile offshore daylight only.
Twin motors limited to 40 nautical miles off shore, required registration number both sides of bow plus your skippers ticket number on port side near stern.
Boat trailer needed boat name and your phone number on it.
All for safety. -
I think I'd just buy a hovercraft.
-
Launching boats in fairly heavy surf you definitely need reliable outboards, they all looked like Yamaha's.

Dedicated Trailer Boating ! ! !

Guess they don't no how to build boat ramps and a dock but we are talking about Africa right maybe that's why over time that will fuck your boat up.

Hey I grew up there and my dad and I boated for years, we fitted good quality stainless steel keel strips to protect from any small stones etc as well as for the trailer work and nobody paints their hull so its always extra gel coated on construction - so beach launching keeps the hull nice smooth and clean. Actually the launching & beaching is huge fun !!

Wow. Different style to what we're accustomed to in the hokianga harbour NZ. Goodstuff.

Here is a short video about how they launch and retrieve their pleasure boats on the east coast of South Africa. After seeing so many threads on the iboats.com forum about the woes of trailering boats at the ramps here in the U.S., I thought a short video from our trip to South Africa would be entertaining for my fellow iboaters and for all.
