Force 7 To 8 In Łeba Poland ;-)

[Ostroda]

Hi, Andre Already posted one of my photos. But here are a few more.
On saturday we had a force 7 to 8 blowing and the sea had waves ranging from 3 to 4metres at some stages even 5 i was told by the Polsih SAR. However very few of the real big waves ;-).

As we had driven all the way upto ŁEBA we decided to take the RIBS OUT FOR A SPIN . Going all the way to bornholm would be too tiring.

Rib 1) Parker 900 Baltic MED layout- belongs to Mr. Stefan Cysdorf, an experienced seaman, he showed what his rib can do.

Rib2) Parker 900 Baltic "seasafari" - This is a Parker demo boat and was helmed by me Chris Scott, later by Arek Puchacz Polish SAR member. My father had a go aswell and did very well.!!

I'll attach some pics so you can have a look ;-))

THE WEATHER IS SUPPOSED TO BE MUCH BETTER FROM NEXT WEEK SO THE BALTIC MAY SEEM LIKE A BIG LAKE AGAIN, IF ANYONE PLANNING A HOLIDAY, YOU CAN GET REAL CHEEP FLIGHTS TO POLAND, AND FROM THE 17TH THERE IS A HUGE ON THE WATER BOAT SHOW IN SOPOT AND THERE WILL BE MANY RIBS ON DISPLAY, ALL WELCOME TO COME ALONG.

Awesome pics

Can you treat a RIB like that on a regular basis without risking structural damage to it with heavy landings?

Being new to RIBs I am cautious (paranoid) about damaging something by over-doing it, but on the other hand if you can do that then I needn't worry about my pitiful attempts at airborne-ness

At the moment I sort of draw the line about where the jockey starts to hurt my b*****cks on landing, which is a long way before anything as impressive as those photos
