Following sea trials for representatives from Greenpeace the deal was finalized yesterday when the demo rib was collected from Southampton Dry Stack. The Parker 650 Diesel rib known till yesterday as “Black Magic” has been purchased for the latest Greenpeace vessel “Rainbow Warrior III.
Here is a shot of “Black Magic” and a few taken yesterday during the handover
I must now make a quick decision what demo rib to have next
Its a tough job youve got there Andre, What new rib to order next LoL.! How about a 7.5-8 metre with a new Mercruiser based V.W. TDI-V6 265hp? My dream package if i win the lottery

Robbie, the VW engines are now part of the Cummins package and sadly you cannot have DTS / Smartcraft controls with the VW range

weirdly - 32 exceptions not that there is much science to it, but the sovereign deity has deigned to decree that there should be more than eight and it would be on my conscience as a neighbourly fellow not to seize the opportunity to impart such seismic news before saying heigh-ho and toddling off to bed (under my eiderdown!) (esp. as I have run out of energy in finding ways of adding others!!!

Something lighter, (in colour) (In case you want to take it to Greece!)
Something bigger, (in length) (So the weather won't win)
Something faster, (but not too fast as to attract attention if you know what I mean)
Keep it diesel... add a newer VHF.... and those seats!
Feels like a Baltic to me
Whatever you decide, you will enjoy planning it all!
