im sure you would leave all the slower sibbers behind
anyway a 4m rib with a 30hp yam sounds like a rib to me

I like the sound of the New Forest to Isle of Wight.

Did this a few years ago from Buckler's Hard on the Beaulieu river across to Cowes for a couple of shants and back in time for tea.
Lovely run down the river and a bit of fun crossing the Solent in a 10' Avon.
