Yachts... what are they good for?

[Kingy_85]

This has been bugging me all day long...

If you have seen the movie Adrift then you will understand my annoyance.

Can someone please tell me that the director of that movie has dodged several health and safety issues in order to make it work.

Answer this for me; are there yachts that exist, whereby if you fell off without lowering the electronic ladder you would not be able to get back on. No footings, no rope ladder, no emergency switch/latch, no way AT ALL to get back on that boat.

Basically you swim back to shore or you drown ?

Didn't one of them get back on in the end?

Yeah, but they had to smash a diving mask and jam the glass into a ream on the side of the boat, the guy then held onto it whilst the woman climbed up him and onto the deck.

Can't imagine that to be the health and safety routine put in place should you ever fall off your boat !

If you have dough, they are a great cock extension.

If there's a marina where I stay on holiday, I can be found at a higher level overlooking for some foreign beauties to 'survey'.

According to the guy in the office who's parents own a yacht there is in fact no way to get back on. There is always supposed to be someone remaining on the boat to get you back on.

Apparantly with the rubber inflatable ribs the only way back on is to climb over the engine block area, which, if you have left the engine idling against the current and there is no-body to help you over the side you are pretty ****ed.

Ouch, cheers Matt. So its true. I just find that so hard to understand. I mean on a rough sea you would think that it was quite possible to fall overboard.

Gobsmacked.

Just remember to put the ladder down before you jump in !
