The Centaure 620 XL in Action
The video demonstrates the boat handling the turbulent waters in the Raz de Sein, a notoriously rough maritime area (videos of training sessions) aboard a Centaure 620 XL RIB.
Navigating the Raz de Sein, Ar-Men, Brittany in France, presents several challenges due to its geographic and environmental conditions.
The Raz de Sein is a narrow sea passage off the coast of Brittany, France, known for its strong tidal currents and turbulent waters.
These conditions can create dangerous navigation scenarios, particularly during bad weather or high tidal movements.
The area is also known for its rocky seabed, which poses additional hazards for vessels passing through.
This video was published on the Laurent Le Poupon YouTube channel.
