Pete Goss goes Ribbing

[Kernow Buoy]

Adventurer Pete Goss is to take on a daring new challenge – travelling from Scotland to the Arctic Circle in a tiny rigid inflatable boat.

Nothing can go wrong there then

hang on a minute,a boat trip from scotland up to the norwegian fjords,very daring

1) Some of us think a 6 metre Humber isn't a "tiny inflatable boat";

2) Didn't the Vikings do it the other way round 1,000 years ago in sticks'n'rags boats?

Sounds like a nice cruise - Unless he's doing it in the middle of winter!

Should be OK so long as they haven't fitted a light pole - then the transom might fall off in the middle of the north sea!

Just recently, Parker Ribs successfully completed a cross channel trip with a not so light Pole. They reported no issues

Yes but Mr Goss is not planning to use one of Andre's fine craft - he is planning to use a couple of 6m Humbers.

Sry. I can't be dissin' Humbers. Mr. Netdrum (on here) would give me a non-virtual (so actual) clip on the ear...

Didnt Team Phillips use some inboard diesel jet boats? Ribcraft I think.

But said Pole is now fitted with suspension, perhaps Humber should take note, could be the future
