Hi from the Swedish West Coast!

Hi there!

Found a Tornado 6.5m RIB under a tarpet in a far away corner at a friends place the other day. It's been sitting there for some 15 years.
Managed to get it out of there today and towed it to my place. Gave the engine and the electrics some love and got it fired up. Pumped the tubes and she seems more or less ready for a test drive.

Have owned sailing yachts for about 25 years. Crossed the North sea in those a few times. But this is the first time with a RIB.

I live in Gothenburg, Sweden

Always fancied doing some boating over there, plenty islands to explore. Any photos?
