Rib Magazine

The number one specialist Rib Magazine, dedicated to the world of RIBs eh! So how come they do not know what the B____y 'B' means?
Just been on their web site and looked at the boats for sale bit, called 'Nearly new and second hand RIB boats'.
Is it me, or does it say a lot about the site?

I think it probably says more about you.

Simon,
Rib magazine is just that - a glossy magazine. It is OK, but as with many publications you sometimes have to 'interpret' some of the comments. As an organisation they obviously have aspirations to move upmarket, they have just launched a Super Yatch Tender quarterly magazine. As for HMS, not qualified to comment.

I rather liked that last Super Yacht Mag they did .. It gave me aspirations that I too, could create a hedge fund, and then plunder it nefariously, in the name of a market downturn, thereby blaming everyone else for thier own predicament

I have noticed though, that even if your a speccy grey haired Bernie Ecclestone midget, the totty will appear as if by magic if you are well wadded .. but they can go just as fast too .. taking more than just the house and the super yacht .... nah I think I'll leave it

The Round Scotland trip looked good I would like to do that one sometime. They had superb weather for it by all appearances.

As magazines go I like Rib International I find their reviews informative and they are not afraid of pointing out faults on the boats they test.

There are always going to be articles that don't appeal (such as Graham Jellys articles which I thought were just utter shite)

I also think its fair to say that if you are a "get your hands dirty DIY ribber" then RIBnet is an excellent resource

What are you implying? The fact that Tom invited me down after chatting at Earls Court and then helmed has absolutely nothing to do with my opinion of the magazine. It was a good experience and I enjoyed it and was glad to have someone with race experience at the helm.

As you know from this thread if I see something I don't like I will point that out as well...

I don't think that Bedajim (The 103 Kid) is implying that you had an ulterior motive, rather than, why didn't you helm the thing yourself?

Of course he is otherwise why post the comment.

The reason I did not take the helm during the race is that I wanted Tom to start us off and to be frank was glad he did as it was like something out of Wacky Racers. After 4 laps the race was stopped because a boat flipped so I did not get the chance to take over.

Is everyone OK with that
