Your Boat ?

[Brian]

After Tim's famous Lets see ya boat then thread on this forum, I wondered what the alternative was.
Everyone on Tim's thread looks after their boat, scrubs and polishes it and is justifiably proud of it.

But what of boats at the other end of the spectrum, I wondered?
An example from Paignton harbour today, of this magnificent example of the rib makers art.

No wonder that it does'nt get out much, it does'nt even have an engine.

There should be a law for abandon a RIB.

I saw this sad rib upclose and real!

Why would anyone leave a RIB like that in a harbour; surly they're having to pay to keep it there......i wonder if they want it "removing" for free!

I tried to contact the owner through the dock manager...they never got back to me

We've done some work in the past on the Mariner 20hp that was on the back . I believe it belongs to a sea scout group.

Brian,

I like the idea! I seen loads of RIBs in dodgey condition but never thought to take a picture! Too busy photographing shiney RIBnet boats
