Hello from new cornish member

Hello,
New here, came via a land rover forum. Thought I'd just see what's going on. I don't own a RIB, but often drive them for other people, I find it chaeper that way! Were any of you guys in Calshot / solent on the 12th ish of march. I was safety boating for the BUSA windsurfing championships and saw a lot of RIBs passing...?



Cheers,
Keef.

We dive down there, not last easter but the place is distinctive even in that photo ... what else do you do there! Unless you try lunching your boat which could be fatal for the boat and landy
