Stratford Boats & Outboards Ltd. Https://www.flickr.com/photos/stratfordboats/albums/phone955891 Hypalon ribs are the only choice if you are considering keeping a boat in warmer climes but it is also a much stronger hard wearing material. There are no patches on this rib, but if you did have to get it repaired rib repair companies will guarantee the work with Hypalon as it is better to repair than PVC . This is an expensive option normally a few thousand on this size rib. The hull has not been antifouled just polished and is in as new condition.

It is fantastically strong with a thick grp double skin and four chamber half meter diameter tubes making this boat a very capable boat for almost any conditions. This is probably the most ideal size of RIB for sport and family fun as it is easily manageable single handed, cheap to run, a fantastic sea boat that gives you a really safe feeling with young family. We have sold several similar ribs to yacht owners, the brand, Hypalon tubes, davit lifting points and 3 point tow bridle setup make them very popular as either Davit slung or deck stowed tenders. This light weight package would also suit many yacht cranes or passerelles. With this in mind if the Rib is to be a tender or if it is going straight onto a mooring, we can deliver and launch the boat for you.

Do you have a boat to part exchange? Don’t require the trailer? If you have any questions please contact us at Stratford Boats & Outboards Ltd. Thank you. The brand names Avon and Zodiac are the most well known brands in the world.

Zodiac developed inflatable boats and it was Avon under license from Zodiac that fitted a solid hull to Zodiac tubes creating the first Rib at Atlantic college in Wales in 1964. The B class ‘Atlantic’ life boats and the first rib for the public, the Avon Searider in 1969 were produced, Avon and Zodiac are now a generic term in most parts, together they have been going strong for over 100 years. Avon adventure ribs are not available to buy new anymore but are still one of the most highly regarded ribs available, these boats were designed to be tougher than the rest and withstand Avon’s rigorous safety tests and to have a higher level of quality than the majority of the market. The hull section is fantastically strong with no weak points around the transom typical of some ribs due to large longitudinal supports, a thick grp double skin and four chamber half meter diameter tubes made of thick Hypalon fabric make this boat a very capable boat for almost any conditions. Avon Hypalon material is a better grade than many other Hypalon materials used on ribs today.

With a maximum of 7 passengers the Avon has a payload rating of 700KG This rib is fitted with a practical steering console with storage under and comfortable bench seating with additional large bow seat which offers a good amount of storage with bow cushion which is comfortable for an adult or two children.
