Tubes came off the nose, think they got some pritstick and put them back on though, I think it may be in St Mawes?

Would like to buy something similar.

Maybe you've seen it already, but Redbay have a similiar(ish) used vessel on their books - a 9m cabin with twin 165s. I was on her over the winter and was very impressed - she has been fitted with offshore work in mind. The owner has suffered a back injury and has to sell. I'd imagine the price is a starting point!

The front won't fall off this one!

A little over exaggeration I think, a bit like me saying you were responsible for Mr P's boat sinking!

Not a bad photo, considering you'd been lashing it up on the terrace of the Idle Rocks, at the time.

Now for sale @ £20k, can't see that being on the market for long I remember reading a review when she was first built in '97, fantastic looking (imo) and very well made.

I don't suppose Magellan Whiskey's going to have a collar round it then Mike?

I was only 23 in '97, just about to take the plunge with my first rib, Magellan Alpha was the boat I used to dream about every night!

Same age as I in that year, and already the proud owner of a tiller steered Avon Super sport 3.4!

That Ribtec is bloody cheap!
