There are new photos in my Flickr account of a RIB I was testing for the Irish Coast Guard recently. Very nice craft indeed, smooooth.

[...] I showed photos earlier in the month of a boat I was out testing in the bay. Well it has appeared on the Coastguard website. Cool 7.7m RIB from Redbay in Northern Ireland. I have to say, I thought it was nice. Twin 90’s, and lovely and smooth altogether. The customised manual was particularly impressive from Redbay. [...]
Will the new Stormforce be ever out at weekends, would love to see it or even at the base on its trailer, we have a 7.78 m Stormforce, 22 inch tubes in black, 2004, we run a 225hp optimax 46knots and have a fuel capacity of 440 ltrs, we run one motor only, had twins before, great for nanouvering, you lose the efficiency though, and the top speed, with 5hp less we would push maybe 10 knots more, obviously, we dont have the fall back, of a second motor, the big Redbays are tough, we dont have as beefy an A frame, for self righting, or the stern locker, does the new boat run two tanks, have you anymore pics of it, we could arrange to run along side it and get a few snaps if you want
Currently a Delta at the Howth Station as it’s tougher going and has a longer range than the 3hrs on the RedBay.
But more pics at: http://www.redbayboats.com/news/newbuilds/icg.htm
