Flying Falcon

[Manos]

No Simmon the garage was made to fit my 5 mtr GEMINI which I've sold 2 years ago. I leave the boat outside but I take it near the garage to put the battery charger on and do work and wash it with the presure hose.

Hi Manos,
how many time you need for go from Cape Sounion to Thira?
Nice photos

[Manos]

Hi Luigi!

Is about 95/98 miles short distance and 115/120 long.
If the weather is bad you take the long way (nearer to the islands).
Roughly it takes in reasonable weather (force 4 NNE or force 4 NNW about) 4 hours to travel a distance of about 95/98 miles.
Is nicer in the summer and with company.

Luigi something else stavo controllando le miglia e da Otranto a Kerkira sono di circa 56 miglia e a Kerkyra porto 60+ miglia.

Thanks Manos.
The first stop on the route Otranto-Kerkyra is Fano about 45 nM
A secound port for departure is Tricase about 45 nM

[barbarossa]

This is the route from Tricase

[Manos]

OK I see what you mean. You are correct. I was measuring from Otranto to KERKIRA main Island

[Manos]

The weather in Greece has been FAB!!

Nice pics manos,

You could well be looking at another falcon owner! Ive been to x-rib today and i loved the boats. Im looking at the falcon 5.75m, the boats look great, the external finish is perfect. All credit to Colin at x-rib and to falcon boats.

Im not going to comit myself to one yet, id like to see solent ribs this weekend but im yet to recieve a reply to my last e-mail to them so an order for this x-rib may well go in at the weekend.

Thanks Simmon and also great news. The boats are great!!
If you get a Falcon you will enjoy it!!
I'm sure!

PS Falcon also makes the 5.50 (I think) which is same shape as mine but small in size (if you are interested in that short of boat) but if you look for space, the 5.75 has huge space for its size!!
