New (to us) boat is coming.....
Just a few more days to wait now!!!

Fingers crossed all goes to plan, come friday afternoon we should be charging about the solent in our new ride!

Almost 2 years to the day after selling our last rib and after a brief experience of motorcruising, we are really looking forward to be back in a rib again!!

Will try and post some pictures on Friday / Saturday because the ones avaliable at the moment are pretty rubbish!! also looking forward to some longer distance running. west country and Channel islands are on the list for this year....

its not a scorpion or revenger but it is 9 meters and has an inboard....... anyone care to guess??

Afraid it's not a pro sport either

Sarah, that looks a great boat. We will be on marina berth on the hamble. Means we can walk to and from the boat

This is the best picture i have at the moment.

Not quite identical layout as we have raised foredeck and table in the bow but same colours.

we plan to get the deck teaked in the near future and we should be all set!!
