Yep - a fair bit of roly-poly going on. The cushion on a hovercraft seems to stabilise things a fair bit when crossing steep waves - certainly better than a boat does.

Great video John,
The pleasure of piloting a craft that's so well designed that tufts of grass, and setting off into sea conditions cause no spray or worries. Beam waves are "quite fun" for a while but as your craft is so large it must build up concerns but there's limited effect on forward motion. Good to see less than ideal conditions, but I tend to put away the camera before it gets too testing.

Left a nice sheltered Brainport bay into a S-Westerly that had picked up out of nowhere (prevailing wind is NNW just one mile from here).
