Hello!!!

Evening all!
I’ve just joined this site as I’ve just bout my first RIB. It’s a 10 foot valiant, with a 20hp Honda outboard and I’m loving it.
I live in Pembrokeshire and close to the sea, so have been out a few times already.

Hello, Blustu.

Welcome to the forum.

Why don't you post a couple of pictures of your rig?

Hi & welcome to the forum, lovely part of the world to boat in. Where are you mostly going to launch from?

It sure is.
I’ve never had a boat before, but being so close to the sea, I had to get one.
So far I’ve launched off the slipway and the beach

Never launched a SIB at Newport (I've launched a Laser 2 & a Magno)
Are you launching straight off the beach down past the golf course?
