BNG 44 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Driving a RIB between the hulls of the Waiheke ferry the night we won the cup in 95 got me into a lot of trouble. Probably cos there is significantly less clearance, heaps more room for a plane under the bridge but probably still inadvisable... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
