Andre,
Thanks for the seats - also got a free peek around the show.
I'm sure there are at least as many ribs here as were in London !!
Dark blue tubes seem to be in Vogue , Paker and Excalibur at least
Give me a call over the weekend
Ian

Parker Ally Cat has landed !
Hi folks,
Just to endorse André's welcome to The Parker Ally Cat / Lough Ree Power Boat School stand V17 to V19 in the Pavillon at the show! We also have an additional small stand in the Irish Sailing Asociation Training Village.
Our manager Phil Knowd will be delighted to show you the first Parker Ally Cat see www.powerboat.ie which is our idea of what a Family Cruising and School Training RIB should be.... Feed back on this boat would be very welcome.
Good luck too to our "Competitors" Excalibur.....Tsunami here ! Nice machine in a quite different style to ours.. I really think that Parker Ally Cat and Excalibur have set a new standard in Safety, Quality and Practicality in the Irish RIB market !
We are organising a Customer and Press Sea Trial day in a few weeks out of Pool Beg YC in Dublin. Book your slot at the show with Phil. 
I'll be there myself each evening and all day Sat / Sun (New arrival of the human kind means I have to clock up some Brownies at home during the day)  .
Pints will be on the School and Parker Ally Cat "Entertainment" budget for "Bona Fide" Rib Net members !! ( Irish members will understand the Bona Fide Reference !!
Cheapest ways of getting to Ireland are via Ryanair and Aer Lingus on the internet..........or HSS in the car from Holyhead..However the Bad News is that the show coicides with a Rugby weekend in Dublin so accomodation is crazy in Dublin for Sat night.
If anyone has probs with accom. give my personal mobile a call on 00 353 87 2 111 222.
Kind regards,
Stuart

Red Bay Boats
Viking Marine (Brig??)

DOH !!! Nice rib Stuart and that nice young man, I think he said he was Paul. Even though he worked for you he didn't say all bad things about you . Excellent Parker rib. Well worth seeing.

Hi Luke,
Many thanks for the nice comments!
The nice young man is Phil Knowd who is my General Manager and Chief Instructor. He is also an ISA Powerboat Instructor Trainer.
We are delighted our selves with the whole Ally Cat concept both the boat layout and spec by ourselves and the build quality from Parker.
We will be having a Customer and Press Test drive day in Dublin in a few weeks. Book a slot through Phil !
Kind regards,
Stuart
