after meeting the ribnet easter run, with paul tony and all the ribsters, nitrox had to leave and head back round to the north coast of angelesy with the ribs international journo onboard, witch lead to some photo shots in some rough water. these photos where taken by steve bright on board blue thunder I THINK IT SHOWS HOW WELL RIBQUESTS GO hope you like neal

Nice photos, and that looks like a challenging sea! Re your Yamaha engine, is that the new one and if so what prop have you got fitted? I have the BETX 300HP, and the 19" prop which is brilliant up to about 42 knots. I think I am then experiencing prop slip. Your views would be appreciated.
