      I didnt know they needed to know how to operate a rip in all conditions

              What about these for RIBs?!



              Nice big RIB's for offshore work, embarked on the Spanish Customs Vessel 'Petrel I'.

                Given some of the boats they chase, they need them.


                Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                        I recall one of the crew telling me once that these boats were built in Scotland for the latest vessel, as they were so impressed with their sea keeping qualities on the old 'Granuaile' that they were specially ordered again for the new ship.

                          excellent thinking and listening to the man on the ground( senior officers take note) it is like the one we had in the basin off the setanta as we often got ashore on it when all other launches were stopped... it was christened the african queen

                            The 'African Queen' is lying derilict at the back of the island (Cobh) under a clump of trees.

                              Saw this today. Unfortunately I don't have a camera with a super long lens....


                              Looks like a Zodiac Hurricane.

                                On first look I taught they had changed the helideck into a RIB platform.... but look closely ... it is on a trailer.
