smithy09 50 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Great job. Great advertising and a credit to Southern Pacific RIBs! (From the Herald) The Opti Worlds will benefit other New Zealand sailing clubs, too. In the months leading up to the championship, local Honda dealer Ericksen Marine has been collecting 26 Southern Pacific RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) from the manufacturer in Auckland and their matching Enduro trailers from Hamilton and bringing them to its Napier base. There it has been fitting the engines and setting up the boats for use as official, safety and patrol craft for the international regatta. At the end of the championships, the 26 boats (18 4.7m RIBs with 40hp Honda outboards and eight 4.3m RIBs powered by 30hp Hondas) will be delivered to sailing clubs throughout the country. The RIBs have all been pre-sold to the clubs, with the help of partial funding from the Lion Foundation of NZ. Opti Worlds NZ Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks. They have come up really well. I've still got 1 x 430 with a 30hp left. Available after the Worlds on 10 January Link to post Share on other sites
