First trip out

Today was the first day I had the opportunity to take out my new demo rib the Parker 800 Baltic. It was a superb day with lots of sun and friendly seas. Nice to have lunch at the Folly again.

you are quite right and that was only one blast as I needed to confirm the max speed. Short blasts do no harm. 25 knots is the normal max speed for break in and that is what I was doing

Talk about a smack in the face with a wet fish!
What's your beefeater with "gentleman's cruising RIBs"?
