Would be out, but all the ribs have been nicked by Alex and Dad, who are teaching for me out of Haslar.

If anyone pops into Haslar, wave at them working hard in the rain

hi Jizm< yep i saw you, im sure i waved over to you!! boat was on its maiden voyage!!

very windy saturday, reliably informed that the technical term for blowing a hoooly was a force 7, so what better way to test out a new Rib,
Head for Hurst castle and the needles!!

Blimey, at one point i was stationary nose in to a oncoming wave, and was vertical to the point my sphincter started yodelling

Some video clips of Matt H trying to flip his new P&J.

[YOUTUBE]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X0SKimJJBIk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X0SKimJJBIk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> [/YOUTUBE]

Sorry for the crap footage, I left the bullet cam at home as its battery was flat and just took out the wifes camcorder. its a bit heavy for the mount hence all the wobbling !

Glad the sea trial was successful...

I saw you on Sunday, Going west, cut behind you as I was going on a NNE from New Town Creek, you can't really miss the little red number

It was interesting, managed to get the Pac22 out of the water a few times.

Awsome Ribbing weather!! Bright, dry,warm,& WINDY!

Nice footage guys!! What a Realy good weekend! Matt certaily put the new boat to the test!!A couple of timeson Saturday I was thinking 'Nutter'! He only finshed rigging the thing last night!! Great to see Avocett [And Mrs A!] getting some large air in the big Ribcraft! And Chris,..I know it's an 'Osprey'.... but Ribs are meant to be in the water!!
Pitty we could'nt get any footage of the Saturday blast,-Force7 to Gale force at the Needles is not for the faint hearted! First time Matt h ever said to me ''That was on the limit Dood!![and dont tell him,..but I agreed!
Shame we had to cancel the Lundy trip,but the backup plan was pretty awsome too!!
Made all the better by some great company!

You lot really are mad - ever thought of taking a pilots license - you seem to enjoy flying

Some cracking photos and video - really enjoyed it - thank you

Not sure I'd ever have the girlie rollocks to get out in that sort of stuff.
