Well done everyone, especially Whisper - £13K for Macmillan. 
Thanks too to whoever bought it - is it a Ribnetter?

Bought by someone from Yorkshire I believe, don't really know who as they haven't been in touch yet.
Just putting the tailer back together to get it out of here.

Well done!!
A massive congratulations and well done to Whisper, Biffer and everyone involved in the project. You are an inspiration to us all.
We have seen photos of the MacRib along the way but none of them did it any justice after seeing her in the flesh at the boat show on Friday. What an amazing RIB!
It was great to meet some of you and be able to shake your hands.
Be nice for it's new owner to come and do the Round the IOW next year??
From all of us at Teen Marine UK.....

Well done to everyone involved, whether it was physical, financial or just moral support.
That will make a significant difference to someone (maybe one of us) in the future.
An amazing RIB put together by amazing people and an amazing forum.
Steve

A well deserved rest!
Well done to Alex for masterminding the whole project, Biff for giving the workshop and his time, Henshaws for the amazing tubes, and everyone else involved. Just home and cream crackered but a result to be proud of.

Fantastic effort guys. Whisper and Biff, you deserve a rest; you must both be physically and emotionally drained after this week.
A huge congratulatory pat on the back to all the 'nobbers who manned the stand over the past week too.
An absolutely brilliant achievement all round and a stunning sum of money raised.

What an achievement! Well done you lot
We dragged a boat from a field, restored if out of nothing but donations and showed it to over 100,000 people at the largest UK boat show 
I'm home now and shattered...
Yes we need a break... Although we now have loads more support, met loads of great people and everyone at the show knows what we have achieved.
This was one hell of a rollercoaster and I hope you enjoyed the ride
I'll get the totals done for you lot as soon as possible, but as Biff said, we have done very very well in all this and you should all be very proud of yourselves for the money we have raised over the past 2 years

Ditto from me. BOTH ALEX AND BIFF.
Biff being Biff, even the specialist who originally told him that he had cancer, came along and threw money in the bucket.
