Sleeping on your rib
Does any body have a rib they stay overnight on. We would like to be able sleep on our rib. Was thinking of adapting a couple of the seats and maybe getting a tent type of cover made. Does any one have any ideas. I know it will cost a bit to get a tent cover made but a lot cheaper than buying a sunseeker.

Have a look here for a few thoughts:
sleeping onboard?

I've used a bivvy bag, but I have seen a regular tent being used on an 8.5m RIB!

Avoid putting tent pegs into the tubes!
