Saw this unusual boat while at Portland

Just back from two weeks away on the boat - saw this in Portland.

Kind of interesting.

I wonder if that orange light is an indication she is a hovercraft?

Looks like a Fiat Multipla - marine version. Press boat for the Olympics?

I see that, no matter how much they polish the acres of raw concrete and the crinkly tin sheds, Portland sill looks like an ex-naval base.

surely that is r.i.b based?

Yes its a rib, cockpit is open at the sides helm looks like something from Starwars. Rear part is enclosed, the stripped bit at the stern lifts to access the engine.

yes could be a press boat.

If the logo on the stern quarter is anything to go by, perhaps it's a water taxi to get rich clients offshore to where they keep their money, http://www.royalskandia.com/

Hi Guys,
Google "Chameleon". I am told that the website will be up and running soon if not already.
It is exactly as alluded to earlier, a general purpose vessel that you can tailor to suit yourself etc.
Excellent concept.
