Looks stunning - and the tubes aren't so far out of the water they will never do anything!!!

That type of rib is on Motorboat Simulator - http://www.stentec.com/motorboatsimulator_i/

Twin jets etc... - the sim is not that bad, there are also a few other boats on there to choose from.

It is my good guess that this is a DAMEN Holland design . Such have also being built in Poland and about 7 of them are used by the Polish SAR as well. Each fitted with Henshaw foam filled tubes

Photo attached and you can just see along side our Parker 900 Baltic cabin rib so from this you can tell the size of the SAR rib

Photo taken in 2004 during the Cruise to the Baltic in the Parker 900

Witam Cie Lukasz

Welcome to RibNet

I remember your station very well indeed specially in 1999 when Arek Pawelek on a Sportis rib and I on an Avon Searider 5.4 were ribbing along the whole length of the Polish coast and were stopping at most SAR stations along the route. Also the first Polish Rib race in 1998 finished in Leba and the second a year later also had Leba on route. The best marina on the Polish coast. I believe it was even designed by an Englishman

Not so sure if we have met please remind me. anyway what are you doing in Coventry and how did you find ribNet

the photos are just great , those ribs can go where most can't. The guys from Kolobrzeg took me out a few years ago. The only bad thing about them are the seats, small, narrow and very hard not good for such rib. It seems like the manufacturer was cutting corners . Good suspension seats are really called for with lots of back support

Come down for one weekend to the South Coast and I will take you out on my rib,

regards
Andre

I remember your travel, but i wasn't ther on that time. Of course i remember RIB race ... both editions, the first one was nice and eazy (and those playboy girls... ). The second one I was second skipper on "HERCULES" the first one was Stefan Cyzdorf. There was realy creazy weve near control point at Hel.

I don't remember the year but that was in february I think... you bring nice boat from Parker and nice friends . It was realy cold something about -7 or less. boat was realy nice and full of ice after that we spend nice time in Neptun.

I was volunteer in our station with my cousin Czarek, his father Arek Puchacz is permanent lifeguard on that station...

If you want I have few fotos from RIB race and I can send them.

It was February 2000 and it was my brother Philip who was there with Paul Lemmer and the rib was our very first Parker 630 fitted with twin Mercury 60HP. Pls post some pictures cos I am sure others would like to see them as well.

Should you speak to Arek please give him my best greeting.
