Menai Strait Rib rally featured in Rib Magazine, we're famous!

RIB Magazine - Rigid Inflatable Boats, RIB Boats - RIB International Ltd - Current Issue

Well, Neil/Nitrox is. all that effort over the year and then some joker in a flash boat comes along to steal the glory and take the credit.

Waiting to get a copy to read the article. Looks good. Cheers to Neil for bringing simon the journo along. Just glad really that it all came together and everyone enjoyed it.

Just got it from whsmith , excellent photos! A good 6 pages of the rally, though our rib grew from 6.3 to 7.5m! Wish it was. Great memory of the day. Some great single shots of our boat, Neil Mccrirrick, the black osprey, the small Humber with kids asleep and many others.
