F-Rib 275 Folding Rib

F-RIB 275 foldable RIB This has been the tender to our sailboat. The ability to fold and stow a rigid hull boat on deck proved invaluable. Unlike an inflatable hull dinghy with their susceptibility to current and wind, the F-Rib performs brilliantly in the water. It's a superb piece of kit and is reviewed accordingly. See Yachting World's review here: http://www.yachtingworld.com/reviews/gear-reviews/tender-test-f-rib-foldable-rib The F-RIB is in excellent condition and nearly as new, save for a professional patch to a pinhole on the port side forward tube, using F-RIB's supplied patch kit.

This has held air permanently since being done. I have detailed photos available of the work being carried out. There is a custom made wooden box on decent castor wheels that we store the thing in over the winter and this is included in the price. There is a little extra room in it for other bits and pieces, such as lifejackets, mooring lines etc. Together with the RIB are two stowable oars, the phenolic board thwart/seat, a foot pump, the remains of the patch kit and two storage bags, one for the RIB itself and the other for the the accessories.

There are two retractable travel wheels fixed to the stern for use in moving the RIB on the dock or on the beach when launching, although due to it's light weight, this is really not necessary unless you're carrying it over a long distance.
