I need somthin that will seat two, fold, light weight and NOTHING camping oriented, if I get 5 years out of it I am happy, light weight is key NOT HEAVY as it will be stored in a lazarette, any suggestions please

that’s who I was going to call is it an aft deck one or a fly bridge Bimini ?

Can anyone suggest a south coast company that could make me a Bimini that will require some support in the form of stainless steel please? Many thanks

I am just asking for some people to calm down, drive sensibly when around others (particularly in peak busy times) and stick to basic rules, think of others as it’s not all about you, what on earth is wrong with that FFS, from a fly bridge owner!?

So here is an example, I am heading out of the river and boom Captain Cock comes flying down Southampton Water and chucks a left before the cardinal, and at around 20kts suddenly realised with all that momentum that to avoid a collision with all the boats heading out that he has no choice but to...

most of the madness this week was people in big fly bridge boats to be honest and nothing to do with jet ski’s at all, I can’t be bothered to waste valuable time detailing it all on here but peak time / weekend patrols would be no bad thing

I hope in peak season that The Hamble Harbour Master patrols the entrance around The Hamble River, the sheer amount of lunacy that I have witnessed this weekend is beyond a joke, skippers need to be fined for poor and reckless behaviour, the time has come for something to be done

The point is that the rafters should pay less for less of an experience

In all seriousness why do the rafters have to pay the same as those attached to the pontoon. It fxxxs me off, when you are are rafted several deep it seems unfair. Do people believe that boating may be a little quieter this year?

Thank you she is exactly as we planned. Fair play to RBS they were mega

Thank you we are out this weekend!!

I have only done one trip in a force 6 for 1.5 hours and we never went flat out but have seen 31, suspect there is more on tap that we will never use

That’s interesting, I screwed up years ago with my Squadron, had the smaller engine option revs always too high, my previous 1250 had the big engine option for its time which was 425’s and that was not trying at 22 knots so this should be better still

Have seen 31 knts, but in reality 18 to 22 knowing us

Also in going for shafts I have gained a massive empty lazarete as the engines in the shaft version are mounted further forward, the hull was designed around shafts and I like them but let’s not go there with that debate ?
