amphibious rib - sealegs, wow

[HUMBER P4VWL]

Saw a 6m rib with a 115 yamah on the menai straits on sat, drove out of the gazelle pub car park, down the beach and in to the water over to a cruiser. How practical.

If you google "sealegs" it was one of these boats from NZ who have a dealer in London now. No doubt see more of these!

Yeh its usually moored up in deganwy marina. Quite cool.

I've seen one of these around Salcombe in the summer too - no messing about mooring off the beach - it just drives straight up the beach.

No need to be practical if you have the money...

There's one on the Scillies. Ideal over there with the lack of depth.

Are you refering to the gene pool?

I'll have to pop over there and take a look at it, would come in handy for when we do bank surveys out in the Dee Estuary. Wonder if the system can be retro fitted to a P22.........

Another one in St. Mawes harbour this eve.

There's one in Lawrenny too. Saw it drive up the slipway a couple of weeks ago. Very convenient, but all the drivetrain & hydraulic gear must add loads to its weight.
