New RIB or FIB?

[Carmel2]

Anyone had a go on one of these? Getting back to the boat after a good night out might get interesting..

I have seen one in the Ionian 3 years ago - looks great fun - weaving between the mast of the anchorage - Great stall characteristics - ie once stalled they are stable in that position! splash - so I was told in relation to hang gliders.

You can get a set of wheels for them. So off to the local AB, and if traffics bad fly back to the boat.......Bonkers! Its bad enough looking out for crossed anchors let alone one of your neighbors flying into you..

Don' know where I'd stow a 360 rib. Our 280 is big enough already then there's all the microlight gear.

Just leave it in the water and tow it, although how you stop the wings from annoying your neighbour when moored up stern to a quay might be a bit of a challenge - just think of them as big oars I suppose and ignore them just like all the other lazy numpties.

Our Avon is always stored on deck!
