What happened to Windrider Ribs?
I found a good (old) article on the Rib magazine website about starting a commercial outfit - Windrider RIB Adventures, however trying to follow the links to the website dont work anymore. Theres lots of references on 3rd party sites but did this go to the wall?

Pete,

John has given up the rib business and gone back to a normal, if you can call it normal, job.
He sold the boat earlier this year.

We, Horizon Sea Safaris, have taken over the patch running out of Ramsgate and the Thanet Coast.
We have had a cracking year so far.

Did you need John for anything major? I have his contact details if so.

Cheers

I'm sorry it didn't work out for John, I met him a few times and I thought he was one of the good guys.
