Rayglass have told me that mine is the 5th Cabin rib that they have sent to the UK. Does anyone know where the other 4 are?

One over here on the Isle of Wight for sale around £40k only with a single outboard looks in excellent condition

If you mean a cabin with an open back - there's one on the Isle of Man belonging to a bloke called George in Port St Mary (I think) - we charted him and the boat last summer for a movie as the dive / safety boat.

used to be one at hamble, had some sort of refit but it looks like the one for sale on the island

Well thats a better responce than I was expecting. Thanks guys

The one that hangs around the Isle of wight is owned by an Olympic yachtsman who won Silver in the Games before Athens. I think he coached someone called Sheila who won Gold.

I've done a couple of Corporate days with him but I can't remember his name. I think he was a coach on one of the America's cup missions and he originally bought it for that Event...... Ben Somebody maybe?

There is also one in Torquay marina. I think it is owned by an "official" of the local yacht club as it it is always out when races are on in the bay.

I'm pretty sure that Protector RIBs UK www.protectorribs.co.uk had a cabin boat as there demonstrator 2 or three years ago. This may be the one that is on the Hamble.

Anyone know if Protector RIBs UK is still going (and if they ever sold any boats)?
