pirky Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Cracking boat Tomo .... hope she is all you dreamed she would be !!! Wish you many safe and happy hours aboard .... and plenty good fish on her decks.... When is your first fishing trip ? ... I wonder what will be the first fish aboard !!! I feel a raffle/sweepstake coming on !! Keep us posted. Dave Edited March 8, 2012 by pirky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Only problem is that Rob Tompson will charge Alan if he goes out on her!!! Do you get a discount on charters Alan? I guess being a charter boat excludes you from club comps, correct? Does fish of the month count if you are on a charter boat in club waters?

Tomo Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think you have got your knickers in a twist Rob... I will use my boat as and when I see fit. I will also be taking my fishing buddies out as before, with the same rules as to contributing to fuel costs that were in place on my previous boat. Being retired I can schedule my trips around any possible charter bookings....Oh, and bye the way....Rob Thompson is not the only skipper who will be utilising the boat for me. As for the club rules relating to me personally being excluded from the club comps and fish of the month catches, I would note that I have yet to enter a comp or record a capture for the fish of the month during my time as a member......so it is of little relevance. When club members come out on fishing trips with me as the skipper, I would expect that their captures be eligible for entering the fish of the month, if they so wish.....but Hey Ho...what will be will be.

Rob Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 My questions were more directed at Martin and those that knows the rules. I think fish of the month is valid on a charter boat but I am not 100%, asking for clarity. I don't think there is any "personal exclusion" that will happen, it's not you it's boat related. You are the first part charter \ part private boat owner i have seen in the club. I know there was a Fred chap who left the club, but I wasn't around then and didn't know if it was because his boat was too big or a registered commercial etc etc. p.s. i know its your new baby and am not trying to rock her Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW She looks magnificent Al I can't wait to see her on the move - hope I can keep up !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 As a club member Tomo and member guests out on private trips that are unpaid not chartered are eligible to enter fish in our comps. So if you catch a fish freelancing that's also fine. None charter means a trip where no monies other than shared expenses (ie fuel) exchange hands. This also assumes the boat is under the max 35' permitted length as stated in the constitution/rules Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) FYI>>>>> Manta Ray is registered as 10.6 metres long... with the addition of outboard engine pods. 10.6 metres = 34.7769029 feet (34 feet 921⁄64 inches) Tomo Edited March 8, 2012 by Tomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 She looks a beast Al or should I say a thoroughbred with all that horsepower. How did she go on the Sea Trials and when do we get to see her in the flesh? Love the pictures of the toys and Annies area. I too hope that you have as much fun and good fishing on her as me Wendy and the Boys have had together and with friends on Alfresco. She is a credit to you and will fit in fine with the Club, apart for when she is working. Very tight lines mate Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks Charlie, I have already introduced Annie to her early birthday present....and I've bought a new hoover as well...not so impressed with that though. I'm sure we will have great times ahead : Manta is coming home to local waters next week, as we need to fully sea trial her with regards to props etc......but so far so good with some very pleasing results.....all down to the foils me thinks.

biggcol Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Just out of interest what is the LOA of Manta Ray ? Are the pods like ours which add 0.7m to the LOA? Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Boat specs Looks like the LOA is indeed 10.6 meters, so no need to lose a club boat. From the description looks like pods add 0.6 metres ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
