The Bay of Gdansk, Poland , 17/18 March
Well following the Warsaw Boat Show the only thing left was to get the Black Beauty on the water and find out what she could do. It was a long drive to the coast and unfortunately for the two days we had planned the weather as you will see from the photos was rather calm. The twin 150 Optimax are just for the time being as that was what we had available but on order are 2 x 250 Verado and for sure will make a difference.
With the twin Optimax 150 max speed during the second day was 48 knots. We expect this to improve considerably

for the benefit of those who know the Bay of Gdansk we launched at Gorki Zachodnie (West Hills) and this is where the first two photos were taken, just before heading into the Bay

Just too calm waters, perhaps another day and an excuse to go again

My guess is the Hel Lighthouse?
Or the Justarnia?
...or is it Wladyslawowo?

What is the purpose of the boat? I mean 2x150 hp OBs and 48 knots sounds just right for a boat of that size, but 2x250 hp is more like speedy suicide, perhaps a raceboat configuration. I am just curious, for what application scene this boat is designed? It looks nice in pictures at sea.

Nice try but sorry wrong answer. The Hell lighthouse is much further out on the opposite side of the Bay We were just along the coast east from the Port of Gdynia
Pitkis
the Baltic range has designed to take twin diesels and cabin and this particular rib in the outboard version is just for testing, demos and fun. The twin 150 HP was ok with a few persons on board but with max persons you could feel the difference. For sure not a racing rib but at the same time nice to have the power
By the way when you were at the Stockholm Boat Show did you come across a rib known as C-RIB with a Mercury 225

Great photos and the RIB looks like a top piece of kit Andre.
Any news on a delivery date for Seahawk 2?

OK Andre, for light load 2x250 hp may be a bit high, but of course a good driver can handle the boat safely and use the extra power when really needed, max. load onboard.
I saw the C-RIB in boat show, I'd remember seeing it also before, I am not fully sure. Unfortunately I had only little time to inspect the boat, nothing to complain at this phase.
I just yesterday heard that I will get a chance to test drive Verado 250 and 200 for couple of days on early June in nice fast daycruisers (not RIBs....). Obviously there comes only few Verados to Scandinavia for this season, so it will be very interesting to see how these new engines work at sea. And report will follow here if earlier hands-on experiences won't appear before my tests...:-)

Not sure what happening this weekend yet but even if we are not going out I will be down to say hello anyway.
Weather dependent I might put Galaxsea in the water.
Was going to today but it really wasn't worth struggling to get out in all that white stuff. ( I know NW ribsters, SOUTHERN WUSSIE !!)
I will let you know via a PM later in the week.
Phil

OK then I will try again.
Either the Mole at Sopot or the lighthouse at Port Polnocny?

OK Andre I give up.
Originally you said “The Hell lighthouse is much further out on the opposite side of the Bay We were just along the coast east from the Port of Gdynia”
Well east of Gdynia is Sopot, Port Polnocny and Gdansk.
You then say “Sorry Brian the rib and the place in question are west of Gdynia the two places you have mentioned are to the East of Gdynia”.
I was already Confused-of-Paignton, I guess I am just no good at these quizzes!
