Training Rib Hire - Solent

Does anybody here know who does Training Rib Hire in the Solent? Not talking skippered charter boats here, but boats available for RYA Training Hire.

So far I am aware of:

Stuart Hopkins, 1stWave Ribs
Doug Innes, Stormforce Coaching
Myself,

And that's it!

Cheers,

Jimbo

Would be a better list. I am not keen on it at all!. I don't actually believe the amount you get for a rib from a training skool justifies the wear and tear on the gear box that three novice boat handlers can cause. Then theres the time time taken to clean and launch the boat.

Engine hours. Each course is gonna put 8 or 10 engine hours on thats a tenth of the service interval so that's 15 quid a course on service costs alone

Plus nobody respects ones property as much as the owner!

I'm sure we'll find away of repaying the favour

By the way, Predator is operating this weekend - I'm at Ribex, but if you want to, go down ands introduce yourself to my partner - Angus. He's not driving, I'm using one of my QHM mates for that.
