BIBOA Alderney Cruise 28,29 Sept 2001
We were fortunate to have a slight break in the weather and had a lovely relaxing time in Alderney. Jim and Yvonne with Still Deep One, Sir Charles Blois with' Ribelata (R12) and four other lads with a stunning new 8.5m Valiant. We were of course on our 'Gin Palace' as John calls it!!Also present of course was Cap'n Lemmer!!

valiant
are you sure that is a valiant?
I own a valiant myself I have never heard of a valiant with tapered tubes.
Do you know what type it is?

Valiant
I am sure it was a Valiant as the owner had just taken delivery and this was his first trip in it. Point of fact, the port engine died on the way back shortly after the photo was taken,.I will ask Mark, the owner to take some more photos and I can post them here.

Niels,

Could it be that you mistaken the Valiant for Ribaleta (white hull, dark tubes, number R12)? I guess that the Valiant Stealth is talking about is the boat in the third picture - red(ish) wih twin outboards.

Sasa

Valiant
Correct Sasa, Ribelata is an Ocean Rib, the Orange RIB with the twin setup is the Valiant. Cheers.
