Yup always was at the back of the class, but always like to ask. Done lots of lifting with different lines but was curious how the 50ft length had been derived at, obviously / hopefully not be experimenting with a helicopter ! Done a bit of bucket work, but not much happens here in UK, so would prefer to ask what to some might be the stupid question !
When dumping water have never really seen the bucket fly up that much then I suppose haven't been doing more than about 30 kts and its been on a 50 ft line or to belly hook but nothing in between
