Tinker Foldaway RIB

It's been a few years since I actually owned a RIB, so I thought it was about time I remedied the situation. Not wanting anything too ostentatious or extravagant, I decided to go for something compact and cheap to run.

I appear to have bought a sailing boat. Could somebody please fetch my medication?

It may be little, but it has a mean bite!

I strongly recommend avoiding getting your fingers trapped in the folding bit.

You are advised to forward your claim to Messers Sue, Grabbit and Fleece at the usual address. They can add a paltry amount for your distress to the hugely inflated claim they are making against Henshaws on my behalf.
