        To actually answer your question, it’s likely this dinghy has an aluminum floor or structure, and that ‘bollard’ would be an anchor tie-off point.

        I wouldn’t know much more than that and I’m sure I’ve used some terms wrong, I just know that my father’s Naiad dinghy is built this way.

          that’s one of the more “friendly” videos i’ve seen.

          what amazes me - at first - is how brave and dumb they must be for undertaking such an obvious suicide mission.

          do you think they knew what they were up against? do you think they thought the boats were undefended? do you think they had a choice to go in the first place?

            Some of these pirates once tried attacking an actual warship, mistaking it for a cargo ship. So they don’t seem to be the smartest or most prepared.

              I would imagine the ones that attack an armed ship don’t make it back to warn the others.

              And the ones that succeed probably didn’t run into resistance.

          God I am ever amazed at the millions of videos on YT that I would’ve never seen on my life had people not linked them. Literally never would’ve imagined modern day pirates exist, that they’re this dumb, and that some guy on YT just uploaded it and that it’s still there.

        I think the assumption is you’re not telling anyone you’re landing with whatever you take off the ship.

            Aren’t they all the same?

            I agree, though. Nothing like the variation in ice cream churned by hand, then scooped by hand. The cup and spoon can be replicated.
