For the first time in ages i had the oppertunity of getting out on a rib (working away quite a bit) yesterday, we were in the Chichester area. it was at one stage blowing to F8 so we did not venture too far out, but it was a great day.....it also rained
So i suppose it depends if you have the facilities of a large harbour
...... i must get another rib when i get back from Turkey
