Is there room for 1 more more? Me mate got a rib and just put up graded from 150 to 200. will be first time in the water with new engine.
We would be leaving from either Solent Breeze Caravan site of Wasash depending on tide.

Seeing as this thing is happening on Paddy's Day, wonder is there any space for a genuine Paddy? I'm in the final stages of purchasing a rib at the moment and plan to collect it on the morning of the 17th (already seatrialled). I did plan on going for a burn that morning anyway, so t'would be great if the first trip on me new rib was with you lot, before I head off on the long road back to the ferry in Wales!!
Rib is a Cobra HD 6.65m with a 150hp Yamaha HPDi donkey on the back. Plenty of spare seats, as it's just meself, so if anyone wants to come along and is prepared to put up with a paddy singing dodgy folk songs all the way across, then let me know)
(ps - plan to launch from Lymington, so if any of the other guys leaving from there could let me know what time they're planning to launch I'd appreciate it)
(pps - I have a box of Guinness t-shirts that I can bring across to mark the day - free, so first come, first served)

Fair Play to ye Blimp!!!
That's just fantastic news. BTW there will be a few other fairly genuine paddies around !!! And since Paddy's Day means a bit of a blast and an excuse to have a bit of extra nourishment then everyone's a Celt on the day! Look forward to the folksongs (and maybe a free t-shirt, XXL ![big grin](https://www.rib.net/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) )
Will update the list in a while.
note: add in new names
Also Antoinette and Martin
Kathleen (Paul has absconded with a RIBload of Icelandic SAR big lads)

That'll be because I don't advertise it much! It seemed like a really good idea at the time, but now it is just embarrassing and a phonetic nightmare ![eek](https://www.rib.net/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Just call me up as Ian M

Appreciate that Richard!
We're into the timescale for detailed forecasts now and we'll post the latest/last round-up list this week.

Also we'll 'phone The Folly again with a more accurate estimate of numbers.
Hoping this lovely weather continues 'till Saturday!!!
