Hey!
I hope this is the right place to post this topic, all these new places as such!
Anyway, last night at a charity benefit in LA, Sea Shepherd revealed their new ship which will go down to Antarctica with the Bob Barker & Steve Irwin.
It is a 115ft monohull trimaran formally called the Ocean Adventurer.
It managed a world record circumnavigation of the world at 74 days 20 hours and 58 minutes.
"The vessel can sleep 14 and has all amenities to make it comfortable; Airconditioning, watermaker, fridge/freezer, TV/DVD, full equipped galley, 2x toilets/showers etc.
On the around the world run the chart table area was set up as a complete video/editing station. All electrical connections/cabling are still in place for any production needs. The vessel runs with 24 hour 220volt supply.
The vessel has been used as a successful fishing/diving platform. The aft deck has enough space/pulleys etc. to make it adaptable for a variety of applications. The vessel has a 8 man tender with 40hp outboard.
Due to the vessels unique design it is a fast, very stable exploration vessel, allowing you to travel vast areas in comfort. The wave piercing design ensures a smoother ride through rougher weather."

Looks very nice.. Let's hope she lasts longer than the Ady Gil .. ;)
-
With this sailors skills thay have? well lets hope they are lucky then and maybe learned something ::) but they can go back to school and learn some sailors behave do :doh:
-
To be honest, the skipper of the Ady Gil was a bit of a tornado-head.. ;)
-
coooooooooool
-
That's nice boat. :thumbs:
Kyle
-
Well, I hope this one last longer than the other one..... ::)
-

lol, great minds think alike ;)
-
that thing is really cool (and much longer than the ady-gil)
-
wel yesterday i have seen the whale wars on discovery and you see that the ady-gil is not moving and the shonan-maru n.2 is moving to her it was first moving to the bob barker end then its changed course to the ady-gil
here you can see it

-
I think the whole Ady Gil thing was a scam, without getting into that I like the new vessel much more! What speeds does she run at?
-
Yeah Ady-Gil, eh whatever :doh:
Cool new ship I must say, But what are they ever going to use it for ??? Kinda seems like a big advertisement perhaps. Only thing I can think of is to use it to scout out the Whaling Fleet... Gah! My mind is going off topic about whaling now haha :doh:
Well congragulations Sea Shephard. Treat her well.. :thumbs:
-
Unfortunately... The Steve Irwin will be leaving it's helicopter the Hughes 300 behind in Los Angeles for a major over haul.
This is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc7KLmN8Gr4
:(
But...
They now have a brand new helicopter! A Hughes 500 :2thumbs: ;D
This one is radical!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-08j6aTGB2w
So Operation No Compromise in the Antarctic, will consist of the following:
Ships:
Steve Irwin
Bob Barker
Godzilla
Helicopters:
Hughes 500
-
You posted the same youtube link twice, mate.. I reckon that second one was meant to be the new one?
Btw, a hughes 500 isn't all that radical really. But it makes a really nice update from their old one for sure. :P :thumbs:
-
Whoops! Thanks :)
And yes when I mean radical.
It isn't a little fly with a weird tail :doh:
It's more like a helicopter :thumbs:
And if I'm not mistaken... It is the same type as the one in SSE!
That is a MD500 and was developed from the Hughes 500! :D
-
"It isn't a little fly with a weird tail"
That is a good description indeed :2thumbs:
Sea Shepherd must be getting alot of $$$ from the TV show :o new ship, new helicopter too !!
-

Hehe, no problem!
Yeah, I always like the 500.. good looking machine. I like the older ones a bit better, before they got the somewhat more pointy nose. :)

Well, when you look at it from another point of view.
Greenpeace are also spending out on a brand new 23 Million Dollar ship :o built from scratch!!
They must be the ones getting serious $$$ :doh: :lol:
lol!

If anyone knows if Greenpeace will be sending any ships to Antarctica this year, please post some info here :)
As so far I haven't seen anything.

I wonder how much they would get from that crashed thing. :doh:
-
I think the whole Ady Gil thing was a scam, without getting into that I like the new vessel much more! What speeds does she run at?

GO Sea Shepherd

"The vessel itself was built in 1993 by IHI shipyard in Tokyo and was formerly used as a research ship by the Japanese Government" :doh:
Haha nice one, SSCS! :2thumbs:
-
Oh dear. More dangerous lunatics on the open sea. I wonder how long before they manage to get this one impounded/sunk/wrecked.
As much as I do not approve of whaling, these people do the ecological organisations around the world no good with their quite frankly bloody dangerous and illegal antics.
Remember that the Captain of an ocean going vessel is allowed by internationally recognised law to take whatever means is necessary- including the use of leathal force- to defend his ship, cargo, crew and passengers. And if that includes ramming these idiots and sending them to meet the general belgrano, then so be it.
-
To avoid a discussion and staying on topic, here's a video of the Sam Simon.. ;)

To avoid a discussion
Surely discussion is the whole point of a forum?
Otherwise it just ends up with people posting propaganda for a bunch of people who use ecology as an excuse for terrorist actions.
-
History shows that discussions about Japanese whaling/Sea Shepherd protests are eventually closed here..
(you could say it's frowned upon) ;)
Besides, this topic is about new Sea Shepherd ships..
-
Clanky, clearly he is referring to me.
However, posting fears over what will happen to these bunch of lunatics if they are ever allowed to take their NEW SHIP to SEA will result in their stupidity being REVEALED (or reviled?) and they will of course be SHEPHARDed to port by the arresting authority of whatever area they engage in their eco terrorism.
THere- how about that? ALL words of the topic thread in the statement above. Off topic? What a load of old molluscs.
-
Um for that comment up the page you are wrong in 2 ways 1 they are trimarans and 2 the are awsome

Any chance of re-writing that properly so have a clue what you mean?

Apparently, the Sam Simon will soon be on her way .. :)

...to the bottom if they haven't yet learned how to sail.
-
It's not a lack of knowledge of sailing which is the issue, it's a lack of human decency and a certain knowledge that not only are they right, but that them being right is more important than anything else.
Is their head idiot still in jail? Hopefully the rest will follow soon.
People don't give money to Somalian pirates why should they give it these criminals?
-
Quite right, it's about human decency. Why should we care about whales? There are enough of them anyway.
What better place to hunt and kill them than in an International Whale Sanctuary (under the pretense of Research)?
What a strange dance is performed every year in the Antarctic, the Japanese catch whales that hardly anyone back home eats (except maybe some old folks), Sea Shepherd do their best to prevent them doing so. I suspect some kind of private war is going on..
Maybe they can sell some whale meat to China, tell them it's libido-stimulating.. The Chinese like that..
Be it rhino-horn, elephant penis or tiger testicles, they'll eat it.. ;)
ps: I do agree that a solution should preferably be found through diplomatic means..
-
As these topics normally get locked for getting political...
Personally, I agree with what SSCS are working towards, but I don't agree with how they do it.
-

Let the Japanese kill as many as they want, and let the "idiots" of Sea Shepherd go on another protest against dolphin slaughter, shark-finning, tuna fishing, or some other crazy campaign..
If they blew up planes for their cause they would be classed as terrorists, ramming ships is no better.
I agree that whaling needs to be controlled, but it needs to be done by political means, not by terrorism. If Sea Shepherd were to stop whaling by terrorism then it would be a temporary solution which would only last as long as the terrorism lasted, a political solution will be permanent.
Those who blow up planes are criminals who are treated as such by the courts, those who commit acts of piracy at sea should be treated in the same manner. No cause justifies what they are doing or how they act, in the end they harm the causes that they fight for.

A U.S. court has ruled that Sea Shepherd keep a distance of at least 450 meters from Japanese whaling vessels.
To comply with this, Sea Shepherd will effectively be mere spectators, making their campaign rather pointless..
