Rib or Sib ? Surprising

Now I have 3 Ribs. One is 5.35 m long one is 4.5 m long and another is 3.6 m long.

I also have many Sibs including the Honwave T40.

I dont know why to be honest but just lately my boat of choice to take out has been the Honwave T40 IE3. On a trailer I must add. I aint setting that beast up each time.

I am sure I will change my mind at some point but this has actually surprised me !.

I know it is horses for courses but I wonder what others with both Rib and Sib feel ?

I have a 7m RIB and a 3.8m SIB. I use both of them rather frequently. Which one depends on the situation, but if it's just me or me +1 and a calm day I like the little SIB.

Yes I think having a Rib and Sib is a perfect combo

I have a honwave T32. I would like a rib about 5-6m so I could get out to sea more often. I like my sib though. Its fine at sea on very calm days, the smaller the boat the bigger the adventure.
Its all I need for rivers such as the Norfolk broads and non tidal Thames (which I am going to tomorrow)
