I would suggest the only experiance is that you must have a bit of common sense. as long as you realise a SIB is not a RIB ( and wont take the same degree of punishment) you should be ok . If you have spent time on any sort of boat in competent way ie by crewing etc and not just as a passenger I reckon you'll have a great time. If my 6 year old daughter can cope I think most adults will be OK . HAve you just got on e/ getting one / What is it etc ?
