Perseverance
Perseverance is a 7m RIB. She is not actually our own boat, we have her on loan from the 1st Standlake & Cokethorpe Sea Scout Group after agreeing to overhaul and maintain her.
Capable of 30-40 knots and carrying 8-10 divers she is a highly useful boat. Here are some photos from sea trials on the Solent following maintainence.

As the 11 of us gathered on the harbour side at 10am ready to meet Ian the skipper of Obsession I, the sun was just burning away the last remaining clouds and mist. Obsession I is a Procharter P3, 40 foot long charter boat that works out of Ilfracombe harbour. Skippered by Ian and helped by his son Dominic we couldn’t have been in better hands.
