record-breaking 1 hour 47 minutes and 7 seconds run to the Fastnet Rock and back

Looks like something from Haulover but it's a fast RIB for sure. Averaged 65knots, can do 85.

I normally take the covers off my seats when I'm out and about or towing just in case they blow away. I obviously don't need to worry about it.

Very nice RIB though.

Hmmm, maybe worry! The wraparound on the willkcraft is very similar in it's scope and when doing 40kts, there is almost no wind effect, just an odd vortex that lifts dust and sand off the deck and deposits it wherever is handy.
