This is my first try at this so I hope it works !!

I went out to buy a new RIB on saturday and bumped into this little toy out the back of Saxon Wharf in Southampton.

Foggy, was it?

Phil Chitty · 01 February 2004, 21:23

Having a little trouble with the photos !!

Give me a chance, I'm new tonight !!

Phil Chitty · 01 February 2004, 21:32

Try once more.

If this doesn't work I may need some advice !!

WOW.

Another view, also taken Saturday (we were on the water

though). Spot the RIB?

Did you see us in the Yellow Osprey Phil?

Phil Chitty · 03 February 2004, 20:45

I missed you. What time were you out on the water ?

It must have been an entertaining day in all that wind.

I went to Saxon Wharf to buy a new RIB and just happened to sopt this before I went home.

Its a beast up close.

Heres another photo.

What's she doing there? Last I knew she was swinging on a bouy in Salcombe.

I know the skipper and I think they were asked to leave - something to do with the timely payment of bills I think!

That is a rather nice boat!
I'd love to see the trailer

You have got the same boat as the Jackeens, they are good boats, but I love the big grey FRE that gemini do

The cable and wireless boat has been there for about 8 months

I've always been a bit of a secret Gemini fan since I used a 730 Waverider to take my Advanced Powerboat a couple of years ago.

This one is Gemini's own ex demo that I bought last weekend. Its the same hull that was in Sportsboart last month just with a four stroke engine rather than the 115 Opti that it had for the magazine test.

we are in the same Yard, and that boat really hasn't been in the water much at all so you've truly got a very little use ex demo boat.

I like Gemini's to I definitely think they are the best constructed of the SA boats

Phil Chitty · 05 February 2004, 15:57

Now that has put a smile on my face !!

Its always nice to know that a new boat really is as described !!

Hopefully I should pick it up in two weeks. I'm having a few new bits put on it first, nav lights, a compass and a fish finder.
This boat also has self adjusting trim tabs fitted.

Looking forward to getting back on the water again.
