Yamaha 15hp are Carb engines, we have them on our rigiflexs at cbyc and they are a tad underpowered though (i'm pushing for them to be uprated to 20hp eventually) and a pain in the backside to start though. Tohatsus 15hp are fab as they are EFI engines as we had one on the rigiflex when i was...

according to one of the boys in the club who I spoke to today, the bloke was drunk apparently.

True, didn't see you thurs, went out with tony rich in the bay, we had a problem with our stays so had to come in :(, so decided to give boat a wash :). quite blowie in the bay tonight, might see you down on the weekend, I may come down tomorrow night for the france trip

Can't wait for it. :), I prob will be on SB duties on the dinghy racing. Everyone come on down to the best Yacht Club in the channel :D - Cardiff Yacht Club.

Allan I see your point, but sometimes the RIB (not Cardiff sea safaris) the other one, has been really close to us when we are tacking, and once came right across our path, surely power gives way to sail. see you thurs eve at the club.

In the bay, the big ribs are fine, never had an issue with them, good as gold, it's the aqua bus(I think) u have to watch esp with his huge wake when planing and he never gives way to anyone, also the boats in the club go bobbing up and down whenever he goes past- possible damage to members...
