[builderbloke]

after diving the nab tower off of selsey (uk) we were atacked by two yachts and the coxen ended up putting the rib on the tower tearing 1 of the tubes and possibly splitting the fiber glass hull does anybody know where i can get it fixed cheep in the local area as its beyond my patching skill

in England for a vessel's distances from a dive boat? Were you flying a dive flag?

What is the tube made from? Fiberglass ?

Sorry I can't help you. The closest I have ever been to the UK is Boston. But if you get a chance, please answer the above questions.

erm im not sure if there is a set distance you have to be away from anouther vesel but power gives way to sail unles power is stationary and yes the a flag was up we were diving the "nab" tower and we tucked in real tight to it to get out the wind then these two yachts haveing a race used the nab tower a a raceing bouy the first 1 took took it wide enough to be safe but the outher 1 cut inside saw us tried to go out again hit the outher yacht bounced off of him and came straight at us the guy i let steer panicked powerd up and hit the tower
