I believe its just a 'toy' for him - no serious expedition in mind
... saw it in Ribquest before final delivery - Scott seats , self righting bag, radar, etc etc etc. Very nice build
Looked huge on the trailer - lucky boy !

He was in abersoch this week end, mate got a picture with him. It's his boat for his island "st tudwalls" hence the badging below the name on the console.

He's owned one of the Tuds for at least 6 years and used to have a serious looking Ocean Dynamics (I think) as his taxi out to and from the island. When we first came down to Pwllheli with our boat 6 years ago, they used to use the trailer for his RIB to pull my Ribcraft out - so he's had it that long at least.

Seemed like a nice bloke on both occasions I spoke to him - not like some of the press would have you believe...!!

Bought in 2001 for £95k, previously uninhabited for years. No beach. No facilities with automated lighthouse and two derelict cottages he's knocked in to one.

Author of the liver birds owns the other island.
