Great documentation of the launch. I bet the boatyard guy was pleased with that. Someone parked it up very neatly (Sorry RDB - moored it )

Id love to catch it when they bring the boats down the dual carriage way,   I bet that could be a good little extra to add.  The whole process is very slow though thus why it was sped up so much.

Yes it was apparent that the footage was speeded up a little later on. But an interesting watch nonetheless.

Nicely filmed DA.    I love to watch the inaugural launch of new boats.  It is quite the process actually. She looks fully decked out and ready to start making money for the owner.

Sadly due to Bird Flu they didn't have a good year.     You can see both the Blyth boats here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66936402

Dang, first C19 affects business and then Bird Flu.  That was a double whammie.

Yeah, no doubt it is just luck when you catch one happening.

Yes,  not good when you just bought two expensive new boats.

Id really like to catch one on the transporter blocking up the road,   that would make a nice into to the launch I think.

Yeah, no doubt that was a large investment and getting any return will be super slow.  Hopefully, he can hang on and make a go of it.  Many smaller companies here went under during C19.

That would be an ideal situation.  

Nice video
