Nope, may not catch your rib eye, though our 2.5L V6 2stroke opti might give your 4 smoke a good run for your money! We had 52mph once.
However the Humber OP is a fair match for most other hulls of the same size in rough weather, especially with the oversized tubes we have. See you in the falls!!!!! |

Is. A race on ?
Old Skool 2 smoke v 4 stroke heavy lump

Would put my smoker up against most any time, it's all about the hull tho. In my eyes
But us smokers have horrendous fuel and oil bills to contend with,,,

  That's awesome! Made me chuckle/smile at my desk.
Taken from the Gazelle Jetty I presume.
"The Cardinal" is normally on station to be fair!

Yeah last August I think - me and misses had an easy trip up the straights and stopped off at Gazelle. Was beautiful sunshine, would have been a shorts and LJ day but a little too much breeze.
I can mail you a copy of it if you want to PM me your address - not the best as was taken on iPhone.

No worries, thanks for the offer, but I've plenty. Now if you found one off station, that could be worth money! a rare spot!

Last shiny hull pic was before the Anti foul went on. That was after 3 coats of primer. Nice to know she's all good underneath, no cracks, no big chips, just a couple of nicks that have been treated. Will get final pics of hull when we go and collect her from SIT.
