Cabin RIB developments

Hi crazyhorse,

I've been trawling around the site, looking at old postings and peoples profiles. I found a posting from yourself ref: a large cruiser/rib.

I thought you might be interested in this photo I've enclosed. It was at the Genoa show a couple of months ago. I visited it with some other ribsters, some of them are active on this forum.

It is possibly similar to the rib you were talking about. Have you actually built one yet, or is it in the design stage. When you do launch it onto the market, you ought to consider exhibiting it at Genoa, its a massive show, probably one quarter of it is dedicated to ribs.

Looks like Graham Jelley has some competition

Nobody bit yet Mr. dirigigler. They must all be sleeping. Still there's bound to be a pike along soon.

Can't believe it guys!!!

This boat looks rather nice but certainly does not look like a RIB to me. More like a Gin Palace on pontoons??

As cabin Ribs go look the attached immage from NORTHWIND MARINE in Seattle.
This is how cabin RIBs should look like.

hOW ABOUT THIS ONE THEN

crazyhorse · 23 December 2002, 22:05

Hi Manos,

Looks good to me,you see there is a certain size that a Ribs can go so as to get all the advantages of weight and sea keeping abilities that all Ribs have,after that its all scale of deminishing returns,The Gin Palace really isnt going to have as many benefits as The smaller boat,eg fuel economy and great sea Keeping abilities.

I like the smaller boat,but I find the front Cabin a little ugly but they build Good boats over there,thats for sure.

Manos · 23 December 2002, 22:11

I agree with what you say about the cabin. But this one was built for the Coastguard and I suppose they wanted it a bit like a box rather than nicely curved LOLOL

But I have to admit I have been to Genoa boat show many times I also go to the Nice boat show just before the Monaco Grand Prix (stay in Nice at the Atlantis Hotel and having dinner at the fish restaurant at the promenade Hey is this capitalism or not LOLOL

) but I have to say (and this is my personal opinion and the opinion of a few other Greeks who purchaed some Italian made boats) they are good looking tied up in a marina but b...dy awful at sea. Italians have style but they do not know how to built boats I'm affraid. Not disrespect to any Italians in the forum.

Dirk Diggler · 23 December 2002, 22:15

I wouldn't let Fabio hear you say that.

crazyhorse · 23 December 2002, 22:20

Dirk,

Fabio dont pay my wages or Manos,s.I think he is just going to have to get used to the idea that he aint the only boat builder in the world that can produce a great boat.

Its Tuff out there.

Dirk Diggler · 23 December 2002, 22:24

When it gets "tuf" out there, you need to be in a Buzzi.

crazyhorse · 23 December 2002, 22:27

Dirk,

You might but I dont.

Manos · 23 December 2002, 22:30

I know all about Senior Fabio

.....e le sue barche. Comunque, non penso la fabbricazione di una barca che ha dei posti faceti che costando $ 6,000 ogni e ciò può essere usato soltanto dal caostguard o le forze o il molto ricco è una cosa buona. Non penso che le sue barche siano buone ma per il Manos di Signor medio.

The translation

...and his boats. However, I don't think making a boat that has jokey seats costing $ 6,000 each and that can only be used by the caostguard or the forces or the very wealthy is a good thing.
I think his boats are good but not for the average Mr Manos.

I still think that most Italians do not know how to built boats (and if you ask some of my mates in Greece you'll see that they all try to get rid of them). And worst if you go on one you will not want to go on it again.

Manos · 23 December 2002, 22:46

to lighten up the atmosphere does any one know what BUZZI means in English??

BELLIES LOLOLOL

Manos · 23 December 2002, 23:32

I think that you will find that a Falcon perfroms (I think) better (but I'm biased cause I have one) than one of Fabio Buzzi's boats.
Seriously now. Does he manufacture 7 mtr Ribs or just 40 ft and over??

crazyhorse · 24 December 2002, 12:57

David,

They could not hold there own,it was obvious there motives were not to help anybody exept themselves,Splodge has been banned and Mr Digler boat was auctioned off for £1.00.

They will both be contenplating the navals at this present time.
