“Patches”
“Patches” is our flag ship vessel she is a 6 metre commercial Avon R.I.B. (rigid inflatable boat). Anyone who knows R.I.B.s know Avon are among the top R.I.B. manufacturers in the world. Patches was originally made as a safety and stand-by boat so she is built to last. Dont let her looks fool you she tough as old boots and handles like a dream in any conditions. We use patches for all our courses but she really shines on our Advanced Powerboat Course in our heavy weather handling and making passage at night.
Patches was fitted only last year with twin 75hp mariner outboards giving her a speed of around 45 -50 knots, wonderful peace of mind and unparalled manouverability. This boat is is well equiped with alot of offshore safety eqipment and being an avon is one of the safest boats out there this is one of the main reasons we picked her.
“Jet Ski”
Its a Yamaha 2005 GP800R, an 800cc, 2 stroke racing ski and is the newest addition to the southeast powerboating fleet. Your instructor will be based on this ski and participants will be using the ISA skis, they are Yamaha VX1100,4 stroke skiis.
These are all extremely reliable and user friendly skiis and will suit any level of experience. By having the VX and the GP800R we have a mix between 2 ad 4 stroke machines which gives a good insight into the different type of skiis available.
