Christened the frib 275

Folding Ribs or F-Ribs are a great way of obtaining a hard hull boat but having the flexibility of a sib.
F-Ribs have the 3 or 4 section articulating hinge joint that allow the boat to fold up for ease of storage & transportation. A great idea opening up a whole new world of opportunity.

Christened the frib 275

Christened the frib 275 yesterday. The water was flat calm and the crystal clear. Launched from portland harbour castletown. Had a mooch along the coast to durdledoor and managed to find some fish. Had 4 bass in total kept the largest for dinner 50cm. Lost count of the amount of pollack kept a few for the freezer make some nice battered fillets with yum. Had just over 20 knots on the 15hp was great fun. Was quite surprised 2 up with all the gear. Haven't had chance to try it 1 up yet. Can't wait to get out again.

Sweet! Wish I could catch some keepers...
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.
