Perhaps you could take the aquavac and use it at the bottom of the slip before you launch. Suck the river dry and not only won't your boat get wet but you won't need one of those expensive dry suit Mr Hart keeps plugging.
Is Keith on commision ?

mstacey,
Now that's lateral thinking! I'll give it a go, I might have to get a bigger aquavac though, mine only holds 20 litres!

"Maelstrom", "Leviathan" A psychologist would have a field day with this choice of names. My boat's called RD 51. (named after an admiral. Gerrit?)

DM,
I must be a bit thick! sorry it's gone over my head!
"Maelstrom" is, I believe, a norwegian weather event of some sort, (also the name of my favourite ride at EPCOT)
"Leviathan" is a mythical sea monster of the deep!
I hope i'm not mad

Wrong JF. Not mythical at all, I married one.
Quote "Hope I'm not mad" This from a man who's idea of fun is to cross the channel at 80knots in a F6. Yeh, Jon. right on.

DM,
point taken, crossing at 80 Knt's in a 6 is probably a bit optimistic in a boat that does 63 Knt's but still, maybe when I win the lottery
and buy that FB 55 with triple seatech's

and NO this is not a wind up john!

I'll join u in a Rippin Yarn !
SIB - Small Inflatable Boat
Has a soft hull - though may have wooden floorboards inside the bottom of the boat is material, it may be flat or in some cases have an inflatable keel.
RIB - Rigid Inflatable Boat
Has a rigid Hull
Both have inflatable tubes

Right, understood "rib" was just uncertain of "sib" sounds like there could be a grey area of the crossover point, I geuss you could get a very small "rib" or alternatively a fairly large "sib"! I don't think I'll go there!

An there was me thinking it was Small Inflateable Boat.
Okay what do you class a 5.85m pure inflatable ( Zodiac Mk5 HD) apart from a 'pig' or 'barge' ?
I have a feeling I might live to regret this

Sibs
My perception has always been that a SIB is a soft inflatable boat as opposed to a rigid inflatable boat. I've been thinking about going into competition with Crazyhorse, Scorpion, Redbay etc. I've put the little un's Wendy house in the Sib and it looks great going up the Staffs and Worcs cut.
Any takers?

Tony Lee Elliot of Flatacraft has already done it. I will try to dig out a photo of it nearly capsizing off of Hayling Bar in 1991. If it had gone over, no one could have saved him for laughing, it was funny. 8 metres of garden shed full of water!!! Alan P
