Hi All, new to the RIBnet. Nice website - glad I found it. Saw this thread and thought I'd post my boat. Almar from Tacoma, Washington. Pictures are from her maiden voyage Seattle to Sitka up the Inside Passage a few years ago. Boat is now in Anchorage.
Cheers, John.

...And great scenery! Welcome to Ribnet QW. It's nice to have another body in the "colonies" camp. It lends balance to the forum which would otherwise lean towards those nice folks in the UK!

We lived in Alaska many years ago - only for 6 months but loved it!!!

Nice looking RIB - and the one in the background.

I will let you know just don't tell everybody its busy enough as it is.

Its in the narrows on Loch Lomond.

What the picture doesnt capture is the dance music blaring on the other island or me burning the lunch

That doggie pic is awesome - I love spaniels!!!

The RIB is pretty good as well..........

BruceB · 02 November 2008, 20:37

I'm a collie man myself although this one is a bit of a black mark for the breed............

Vintec · 02 November 2008, 21:24

Sorry to go off topic for a minute....
I'm also very fond of dog's, have two Berner Sennen at home.
But I'm afraight of taking them on the rib, for damaging the tube with their nails.
Looks like you aren't very worried, maybe I should not either??

Collie man hear, but love German sheps too,
Staying off topic here's my little mate. You wont get her anywhere near an open boat though!

The Garfish · 02 November 2008, 23:16

az dis iz noww a showw uz yer mutt thred heers a pik ov mi likkul helperr

BruceB · 03 November 2008, 20:52

Mine has been out on RIBs since he was a nipper and he is 11 or so years old now.
If you are worried about the scratches then you won't want to take a mutt out on a RIB but honestly, I may look after my boats but I don't wrap them in cotton wool either and worry about every dirty mark.
Mine was on the Clyde run and the Millport run, both over 50miles each (he was off the boat for the display only as he is terrified of fireworks and came back with us at night)
He is a good laugh when stationary as he is fascinated by the reflections on the water and will stare for hours at them. You have to be careful sometimes, he has been known to climb onto the bow and try and bite the bow wave when planing along!
He is very good in the boat but rough weather is a problem as he has nothing to get a grip, he usually just jams himself in at your feet then to sstop being bounced around.
This pic is also from the Clyde trip and is him quite happily sitting up on the suicide seat in the front of the console, quite happily watching what was going on!

.........loves the rib and the sib. when he bites the bullet I'll scatter his ashes at sea and on the beach.........can't wait - god damn nuisance

Bigmuz7 · 14 December 2008, 22:06

Aw .. spaniel ? .. blue roan ? whats wrong with him

Cookee · 15 December 2008, 17:25

This is my new puppy - she's nearly 3 months old now and I hope she'll be OK on a boat!

Vintec · 15 December 2008, 17:51

Best thing to do is take her out on the boat as soon as possible, best would be with calm wetter. She is in her inprinttime (or how do you say this in english..) and if you make it fun on the boat now, she'll never forget and will be jumping to come with you everytime!
