Totally enjoyed this , I've had 17 boats of every type , had an Avon Searider , what a boat , incredible sea handling and ride . All the best in your future cruises , will be watching.
Hah. Stumbled across this. My first thought was "Oh, look there's my old boat, Blue Ice, with her previous owner John". Followed by hangon, that's me. Had forgotten that this trip was filmed.
Hi ,yes get a rib and have fun ,for a few hundred £££ I don,t think so ? 5 mt gemini was 5k 60 hp 19 years ago .scorpion 7.5 mt 17 years ago 21.5 k scorpion and now a 8.1 scorpion owned for 7 years and now looking to go longer, a very fine sea keeping craft .Avery fine video that points out the pit falls .Thank you .
When was this first filmed? Did he really say at 1:10 “you can pick a rib up for a few hundred pounds”........ This is like watching blokes exploring in Mark II Cortinas.
If you buy a rib that has to rely on bilge pumps to clear deck water you are in trouble. Elephant trunk bailers can clear the decks in moments, Ocean Dynamics, Delta, Halmatic (BAE), will build open transom craft. Handrails breaking off is poor build quality. Adults out on ribs without lifejackets sets a very poor example, I'm also pretty sure there were some killcords not being used.
@@fastasfox I've worked on fishing boats and increasingly they are being used. fact of the matter is, if you are arguing against the use of lifejackets you are a dick.
@@paulmahy why call me a dick? I don't believe I called anyone a rude name. You have the wrong end of the stick....I 100% believe in life jackets...but you don't see too many solo Cornish fishermen wearing them....or kill cords for that matter. But bottom line it's down to the person and their own risk aversion....not quite a nanny liberal state just yet ya know 😉

The figurehead museum is all the warning you’d ever need but aren’t these boat’s remarkable in what they can survive. Great trip, thanks for sharing.

Cool video. I've always wanted to RIB to the Scilly Isles, thinking of going next summer, 2022. This was a really useful video.
Did you do this trip this summer?
Great programme. I’d love to see more like this as I am thinking of buying a rib
Did you ever buy one?
fastasfox no. But the interest is still there
Great video thanks
Isn’t that Mark Featherstone, crew of Salcombe lifeboat in ‘93?

GPS became more accurate in 2000. So this must have been filmed then. The trip around the UK (another video) was in 2001.

I will take you down to ANY Cornish harbour and let you speak to a few local fishermen about wearing life vest all the time.

@@paulmahy Handrails breaking off is a sign of easy maintenance if you wish to change one. Who are you anyway mate?
