A friend has the 6.1 with a twin setup on the back. Ive driven it a few times and is a very dry ride and great fun in the swell off Falmouth (where it is kept) It looks great

Zeppelin are the best French ribs and the orca hypalon tubes are very good.

Bit expensive though isn't it? The link wasn't working earlier but 30 grand for a second hand six metre rib seems a bit pricey to me.

You have plenty of much better ribs in UK indeed.

Diarmuid Minihane, we bought a Lencraft (that he took as a trade) from him. Nice guy, and yes he was a distributer for them when we bought Lenny, about 6 years ago though
