New RIB developments

RIB's There are so many manufactures, so many models. How can you know what you need?
Its not rocket science but each manufacture would have you think so.

What are you not getting on a RIB you would like to have and also what stuff do you never use that is on the RIB?

We are poised to create what could best be described as RIB's for Dummies...!!!! from rollup to 50ft.

All comments are welcome, All constructive critisisum is very welcome....

The tender is the weakest link between the yacht and the shore.... Lets get it right first time round

Or some bowrider style consoles (walk though middle) with a fibreglass detatchable forward cuddy/cabin with sleeping facilities that didn't look DIY

Did you see the new Zodiac yet - much better in the flesh than magazine reviews - but looked a little bit like a Vauxhaull to me.

Think 7 - 7.5m is th smallest you'll get unless someone comes up with a decent detachable bow cabin.
