It will be on time!!

Today I went down to Yeovil to take kit in preparation for coding and delivery of the new school boat. She's due up on the Solent next week and I took a few pix.

Looked big! Best of luck with it, lots of good seating too, should make a good safe boat. 7m is big for training though, on my PB2 I had a spot of difficulty parking an SR4! Got the hang of it by the end of the course though!

What!! Nothing like your's - it's got the new hull which of course is white. But then a Ribcraft is a ribcraft. They had a very nice tender for a super yacht nearing completion when I was down yesterday - bright yellow, 2 seats and twin 100 Yammies. But still a Ribcraft.

Yes, but I hoping to get some pix of the launch on Thursday using mine as the camera boat.

Yep that was the 650 Sport, did look very smart especially with the engine bay surround. The seats pods were different too, slighlty moulded for the backside. Believe it is 1 of 2 Ribs for the same customer!!

Good looking boat

Saw a nice Ribcraft tender, at the stern of Eddie Jordan's Sunseeker Yacht in Poole Harbour on Tuesday. Very smart!
