The footage was caught using the new water proof action camera that has been donated by GoPro, the new GoPro Wide Hero is a massive improvement over it's little brother, the 5 Mega Pixel shows more details than the 3MP of the Hero, as can be seen in the footage above, the camera has a fish lens, which gives 170 degree view point of our Atlantic 21, giving better coverage of the vessel and her crew.

The Atlantic 21 had a mini refit (stage 2) and is the first time she touched the water after the refit - thus the looking back via the crew member on the back left, he is checking the work carried out in the refit, the vessel was taken out for over an hour for checks and weather handling on ruff sea's - vessel was put through her paces and watch for the Lifeboat getting air bourn in the footage.

The GoPro Wide Hero 5MP camera is mounted on the mast of the Atlantic 21, perfect location to view the action, this is the very same location that is used by the BBC in it's program 'Seaside Rescue' that follows the RNLI & HM Coastguard in and around the south coast.

The camera will be used in the following years shouts and training.
