I had 3 x 12 litre tanks and a couple of emergency jerry cans. The first tank was almost empty at St Catherine's lighthouse, the southern most tip of the island, around halfway mark 35 miles in.
Looks great. I'm planning on doing the same again this year. It's such a shame the Warsash now has a max parking limit of 4 hours in the carpark making it almost useless as a launch site now...
@@Cluelessseafishing you will get more flex with the air deck, but still ok. You can minimise this by topping up to the correct pressure once its in the cold water.
Love it! Great weather and sea state for it. How long did it take you guys? I tried in my rib in August but the seas on the south of the island where whipped up and I had white caps and 3m waves so quickly decided to turn back after getting to Ventnor for the sake of my crew lol! I was coming clockwise from Bembridge. Can't wait for warmer climates to try again. Just followed in Insta BTW.
With a slightly smaller dinghy with a similar size Honda engine… I achieved top speed of 22knts and cruising speed of around 16-18knts. That auxiliary engine has to add mass and drag so I doubt he could go more than 17-19knts
Nice video! Can I ask how you attached the aux engine? I have a 3.6 Zodiac and never even considered one because of the size of the boat/transom - but you are making it look like it's possible which gives me some hope. I see you are also using a transom wheel, I have no idea how there's still room for that little engine up there, but seems like you're making it work. I'd love to see a video of you attaching it and using it a little, simulating an engine problem on the main one.
I won't be able to make a vid on this for a while, but I will make one. I do have lots of pictures I can show in the meantime though, follow me on Instagram @munxhy528
