Me too, Im always fascinated by this!

Those Ferries/ships can certainly handle some beef!

The 3rd one reminds me of the movie ''The perfect Storm''!

BTW we had a storm in western Europe last week, the MSC Napoli got into a bit of trouble in front of the english coast

Yeah I still think the idea of solo round the world yachting is the worst thing ever!

First one is damn scary when they show the bending from inside :shock:

very cool videos, its fun to be on the ships in rough water like that, but the gentle rolls are what make you sick. the hard hits can kind of be fun.

That is needed and build that way deliberate. Otherwise without that bending it would just snap in half.. :shock:

[TNT]
