What's terribly wrong with my Humber then Willk?

It did the job well on the IOM run and it also slipped over to Scotland the other week - when you were in bed!

BTW You just can not replace the Redbay with any old boat - it HAS to be another Redbay!!!

I thought that your Homing Humber was very well appointed

As regards a replacement for the willkcraft, time will tell. I have a list of requirements (as supplied by Mrs willk) and a few ideas of my own.

I look forward to testing lots of RIBs

I dunno, they didn't hold one last year (that or they didn't tell me )

I'd highly recommend going to one - security tends to be lax and pocket sized bits can be boosted with impunity. My new Poacher's Coat has a reinforced liner and is ready for serious work

Hmmm, maybe that's why...
