another idiot with mad ideas, new boat build

[Robg71]

A small rib is ideal. I can always blow up a small tender which can be kept in the lazarette
looking for some sort of tender lift really. not wanting to spoil the lines with davits etc, although the fly bridge will take the weight, thats my least favourite option.
small dive rib is ideal.

Given your current cruising grounds I would suggest a small Rib tender / dive tender on fly bridge with crane and a second small dinghy with wheels or light to carry.

my one bug bear locally is carrying dinghy / outboard over rocks or any distance!

I have a 1.8 m can carry easy but fits 2 adults at a push and no engine but probably my favourite dinghy out the 5 I currently own !!!

Maybe a kayak would suit you in these instances ???

The Xpro ally ribs got a very good write up, proper ribs that you can actually take out on the sea....
Terrible web site...gives no weights, can you believe it!
IIRC. The 4.2 weighs less than 100 kg, it's in the round Ireland race (50% weight less than the grp opposition)
The 3 mtr weighs about 50 kg............not a proper sea boat, but rated the best handling small rib.

Ribs look cool stored on the brdge deck, you'll need to install a mini crane......a La super-yacht.

who's the chap on here does the stainless steel tanks etc. If I remember correctly he does some tender lifts etc... cant remember his name.

Time to end this thread and start a new one...........'50ft of Grey' Think we are passed the stage of thinking you are an idiot and have confirmed you are certifiable !!!

I want to see some pictures of 'Mrs Grey' at the yard even if it is a big airfix kit on the back of a truck !!!

I know it is getting built in Wales but I am sure they probably have cameras and internet??

I'm not very far from there so Rob if you want pics taken at random times PM me.

 

[Robg71]

yes, maybe should get serious and start a proper build thread. I like the title JD

A new ' in build' thread would be very welcome. The rest of the posts are the same old rubbish repeated over and over and over.............

Nice project D-Dream. Thanks for the link to your blog. The boat is looking fantastic. Please note the story of Robg71's boat has switched to a new thread, with title "50 shades of steel", on the first page of this forum or at this link [url]http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?374141-Fifty-Feet-of-Grey-(steel)


I like your dashboard in the pictures below, and I have a question about it...

Was it inspired by this custom one-off dashboard? If it was, you’re welcome, and good going. If it wasn’t, what a nice coincidence!

 

[Robg71]

Hahah, that looks familiar
Good choice sir, and welcome to the forum. I have followed your blog for sometime. Its good to see how you are doing, as not ha a look for a while. Time for me to catch up again...

Hi,

Yes, the dashboard was more or less inspired by this one. Thanks for your comment and following my blog.
