Overturned RIB
Coming into Glendale this morning, I saw a submerged and overturned large RIB boat with dual motors in front of Marine Patrol. It was completely upside down and it actually looked like a Marine Patrol boat but couldn't be certain.
Anyone know anything about this?? Dan

Overturned boat to the left of a MP utility boat. Also another boat at the MP dock, don't know if related.
The morning WMUR news reported as serous incident near Round Is but no details on the web site yet. Does not sound good. Alan |

Just did a quick google search and turned up nothing, will be interesting to hear details, hopefully no one was hurt with what ever happened.

Wow!
Wow!...That's crazy! I saw the blue lights go by my place on Welch at that time last night.
I sure hope everyone involved is OK! Kudos to Marine Patrol for their efforts and the good Samaritans who helped out and possibly saved lives!! Dan

I was very surprised when I bought me new to me pontoon last year, and it didn't have one.... it was a 2004..... Surprised because my previous pontoon a 1999 had one, and so did my speed boat which was a 2001..... End of the day, yes they are a good safety item to use when available. However the bigger problem, is operators ending up in situations where it becomes necessary to begin with. That doesn't mean careless operation necessarily, I never judge a situation until I understand all the facts. Medical emergency rouge wave action etc. etc can all present situations that we never expect.....

No Speculation
Lets wait to hear the official report before we speculate on what transpired to cause this...It could have been anything...
Right now the only thing that matters is hoping all victims involved are not seriously injured. Dan

Round Island Accident
At approximately 10:15pm Wednesday night a go-fast boat (speed unknown) struck Nipple Rock with a big crash , knocking the teat (Flashing Light) off the rock and ejecting the two passengers. The boat continued on at slow speed, circling off the east side of Round Island, for approximately 90 minutes before it was stopped. Now you can continue the rest of the story from the above posts.

My 1962 Public Utilities Commission chart shows Nipple Rock (specifically, clearly, labelled) to be close to halfway or one third down the east side of Round Island. My recent Bizer chart does not identify Nipple Rock, although it shows rocks in the area, and a black spar near where Nipple Rock is. It also shows a red tear drop shape designating a fixed light, but it appears to go to a different rock. I don't use a GPS, but is it possible, on a GPS, that the presentation would lead you to think the light was in a different position? PUC shows one rock, Bizer shows two.

I wonder if the boat hit Nipple Rock in the dark.

Speculate Much? Guilty Bad Ice Cube?
Quote:
2) A perfect direct-strike would be made easier by mounting a flashing light on top of Nipple Rock. 3) Navigating one of these boats is hazardous because the helmsman sits behind an extremely long foredeck, which obscures his (her) vision forward. (And gets even worse when slowing). 4) If the MP rope was intended to "entangle", shouldn't the MPs have been educated to the fact that many boats in this class have rope-cutting "labbed" propellers? (And aren't even safe around flesh and bone--when stopped?) |

Navigating a boat like this is no different than any other boat. The slightly longer foredeck is no hinderance to visibility while on plane or while coming off plane. The foredeck can be an issue while getting on plane, but thats one of the reasons why boats like this have trim tabs... to keep the bow rise down while planing off. Labbed propellers? on a 29' Baja? Highly unlikely given the extremely high cost of labbed prop. ($1500+) Also, for those who don't know what a labbed propeller is, it is basically a stock propeller that has had its blades thinned and trued to pitch. This allows the propeller to have less 'slip" while going thru the water. So while yes they are little sharper than a normal propeller, they can still be entangled with a rope or net. The real issue here is that the operator wasn't wearing his ECOS lanyard. If they were, the boat would have stopped after they were ejected. I always wear my ECOS lanyard when operating my boat on plane. Woodsy

Thanks, Good Samaritans...
Isn't the real issue here the operator's Failure to Keep a Proper Watch?

APS as with most accidents there are several contributing factors.... I think Woodsy was pointing out that if the ECOS lanyard, the boat being out of control making the situation worse wouldn't have been a problem. There is no doubt that Keeping a Proper watch was a key factor in the accident itself....
