Powerboat & RIB has a long history of undertaking expeditions, offshore adventuring and maritime challenges.
In recent years, these have included three separate circumnavigations of the UK as well as two circumnavigations of Ireland, two expeditions to the Arctic Circle, a circumnavigation of the Baltic and two 325 mile offshore crossings of the North Sea from Scotland to Norway, to name just a few.
So why are the PBR team so excited to get behind the helm of this vessel? PBR Editor, Hugo Montgomery-Swan, explains, “The reason why we chose Axopar and in particular, the Axopar 28 Cabin model, is because its design and capabilities continue PBR’s heritage and association with the offshore environment and our love for adventure. It also helps us to promote the concept and benefits of all-year-round boating, which in turn, helps people to appreciate the increased value in owning a craft that allows them to maximise on their investment."
"So, as a magazine, we shall be out there, showing how folk can get as much of their boating as possible, regardless of the weather or the season. In addition, if Covid restrictions allow, we shall be planning several exciting extended voyages which will not only allow us relate some great stories but also allow us the opportunity of thoroughly testing the vessel and its systems in the real environment.”
