they have been in business since 1998 and i make and fit the tubes ,there are a couple of pictures on my web site ,a very small company and possibly the beamiest boat you can buy for there length ,a lot of people do not like the broad bows but it does help with internal space and they do seem to handle well although i have not been out in really rough weather in one ,we are just about to tube an 8mtr for use by one of the marinas in the poole area .

Exploder Comedy Ribs!! Restronguet Sailing Club (On the Fal and where Ben Ainslie learnt his stff) have two a rescue boats. In yellow a bright blue, they are two of the oddest looking ribs. The whole design is very 'out there'. They're made at Rock, North Cornwall.
