Given the inherant, indeed legendary seakeeping of a rib, are you planning any challenges in this vehicle, such as circumnavigating the universe naked, or similar?

I have been toying with the idea of a few epic voyages, but at the moment there a couple of things preventing it.

First problem is the weather, it's currently far too pleasent to don waterproofs and wellies, better suited to "hardboating, or should that read softboating".

But by far the biggest problem is that an "epic voyage" would probably entail nights at sea, and my mum likes me home for my tea!!

Oh well, no trumpet blowing for me!!!!

Cheap as chips! A certain greek **** reckons that all uk rib builders are making a fortune. I'm not in it for the money, only the glory, so me boats are ever so reasonably priced.

Mind you, if you have to ask how much, you probably can't afford it.

However, as your a well ard moderator, you may well qualify for a staff discount!

Mr D,

What lump ( apart from your good-self) are you sticking on the back ????

and I liked the suggestion by dirk on the rib site about getting together and having a test/ review of ribs. How about starting with your new one



yours will obviously set the standard for all other to stand and fall by.
maybe even put it up against the falcon 7sr with garf waiting to pick ya off.
