Perhaps HUMBER P4VWL the "cardinal" can invite Monty to the Round Anglesey RIBnet Cruise due to the unlikelihood of Prince William attending this event.

I think that a double jockey and a couple of singles side by side would have looked better, but I'm sure that he had his reasons for that particular set up.

Yeah, I'd agree,the console's too far back and it rides high on the bow even with people on it, he's doing trips on it so it's ideal as it is but may be in need of Ballast / trim tabs.

Pcicture 2 looks like he's doing more than 6kts - and he's still within the harbour speed limit - naughty for an evironmentally aware chap! Still the spped limit onlly applies when the volunteer patrol's out, and then not to any commercial venture! 
Don't really mean it!
