Thunder Child

Taking the name Thunder Child from the fictional ironclad torpedo ram in H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds, this vessel will hopefully not fight Martians, but is ready to set a world record.






STRONG AS A BOLT

 

Here's a cool video of 'Thunder Child' undergoing rough weather trials in the recent storms. We managed to get some really great footage of her in 50kt winds and 6m waves, during which she handled fabulously. Happy to say her Caterpillar engines have run faultlessly since launch, essential in these extreme conditions.
