  • Speed junkie Guy Martin tries to break the world speed record for a hovercraft. But hovercrafts are notoriously unstable at speed, and Guy's out of his comfort zone on water...

      CVSiN he ain’t gonna get much out of that two stroke tho. Maybe a big bore kit but that’s about it. Maybe if he put a high revving Honda engine that will really make that fan spin
      fast.

    Bob Windt, world record holder. Great guy! Helped me with my hovercraft build of one of his designs. Still have it better than ever since 1980. Thanks Bob! Rest in peace 🙏

    You earned my like five times over:
    1. Even attempting the world record in that POS watercraft;
    2. Breaking the handlebars and continuing with a DIY set made from an oar;
    3. Crashing;
    4. Patching it up with sticky tape and pop rivets;
    5. Having the balls to try again in a broken hovercraft.
    well done.

    Grats on the UK record! Good call not pushing it past your comfort zone, you now can try again if you feel up to it some other time in a fresh craft. If you would have suffered serious injury then no second chances....

  • @darkiee69
    @darkiee69 Před 4 lety +1

    It's one thing to go beyond you comfort zone in something that's whole and intact. It's another thing doing it in something that isn't. And Gy's smart enough to know the difference.

    @briankilpatrick6039 Před 4 lety

    Guy glad you pulled out of that. If you hit the water with that helmet you'd be in a wheel chair if you're lucky and most likely dead. The force of the water entering the base of the helmet breaks your neck and or stretches your spinal column to the point you'd be wheelchair racing. Breakaway clips are a must at minimum and it why they are mandatory in most open cockpit power boat categories. Also helmet restraints are encouraged

      ....or ditch the single engine in the rear, and put an engine and prop at either side, out to the sides, at the bow. Pilot, way back at the stern, and also shielded from any prop, should one splinter.

    • @bloodjoe100
      @bloodjoe100 Před rokem

      No need for that, I know the current world record holder of over 20 years the main factors were a sleek design and the lift fan being angled toward the back to provide more forward momentum
