Latest RIB review is out!
The review is now out in the February issue of Sports Boat and Rib - 5 pages including a review of both the race and leisure versions with some great photos.

It's called - Shark Infested Waters! "She's a genuinely upmarket sports boat with serious balls - not bad at all for £45,000"

"With a useable foredeck, good storeage, an open cockpit and some decent seating, the 770 is a suprisingly practical boat" Not to us it isn't - we designed it that way!

Erm - not suprising Richard!

By the way there are some errors in the report that I will be writing to them about - We've only won one British Championship ............ so far!

And I think they could have looked up my surname as well - half the staff have been on the boats anyway!
