Seen at SIBS today - Guess who?

[Solitaire]

A clue! He may be looking for a new boat /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

Surely not GC1?

 

[No1_Moose]

can't be, standing up on a flybridge is too dangerous.

 

[BOATKID]

cant be - he is wearing a childs life jacket

 

[D3B]

You said he didnt like being photographed.

challenge for the forumites?

 

[GC1]

Why do that? people will think I am linked to YBW being on their boat /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

But you said you were booked to go out on a Phantom 40 while on your corporate day out - and what's more it was Motor Boat Monthly's Boat not YBW!!! What's more you even got to shake hands with Simon Collis as well - what a busy day you had. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Loved SWMBO's comment though - I think we will have a Fly-bridge at some time - but not for a bit yet /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Oh well, looks like your stuck with the lil o'l Cranchi for a bit then. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif


As for me, I was just swanning around on MBY's lil job with the IPS drives. Wow, do they shift that boat - 0-30knots in 12 seconds. Up and gone, only loses out to SS Superhawk at the top end. And it 's strange to move absolutely sideways when using the joystick.

 

[GC1]

I think your boat was faster than ours /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Your right, flybridges are not for us just yet, we are still young enough to have wind in our hair, so a sports cruiser hard top is the way to go. When I have my pipe and slippers we may consider it /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

We went on the Sunseeker 78, what a lovely boat, scary thing is that it didn't look that big to us, but the finish and room inside was very nice, swmbo was very impressed.

I'm back down again soon as I didn't have much time for shopping, the meals and free bar in the VIP suite kept me busy today, shame it was spoilt getting dragged out on a boat and forced into a kids lifejacket /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Nice of Simon to offer me a job, but not quite the right package with only the 40' ter as a company boat /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[oceanfroggie]

Looks cheap and tacky with the crude oversized adverts plastered all over the hull - discount tubberware /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[captainalex]

sunseeker 78???

 

[Nautorius]

Definitely agree MBM/MBY need better branding on their boats...maybe next year they should speak to the new experts in town who are offering generous discounts to aquaintences /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Cheers

[GC1]

OK, 75'9" plus 2'3" hangover /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[captainalex]

of course the Yacht 75, very popular in the med!. If you think that's a bit small, try a Predator 108!. Although rercently saw that a pred75 with tripple 1200s will burn near to 600l/h.

 

[GC1]

Don't get me wrong when I said small, what I mean is as you get your own bigger boat, other boats that once looked massive or immense start to look that little bit smaller, don't know if anyone else feels that way as well.

 

[ported0]

suprised Calm Voyager got onto the plane given the wind resistance from the ears of the guy standing on the flybridge /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
