There are several different boats in the video and they all cost different amounts. Generally speaking they are made of high quality pvc

Foldable ribs (f-ribs / fribs) are not being manufactured at the moment due to supply issues. You may find a used one on f-ribsandsibs.com/forum Or try facebook.com/groups/InflatableBoatClub.UK/?ref=share_group_link&exp=8ce3

I have a brand new 330 pro SIB with a 8hp tohatsu and just wondered if I would keep up with you guys let me know and Il join you guy on the next trip

Hi, I’m getting a sib with an outboard in a few weeks. Could you let me know what I need to do to use it on the sea like you are? I know I need insurance, do I need a license, day license, some kind of permit? And is there any public slipways around Poole Dorset area? Thank you 🙏

Kevin Williamson - Hi Keith, i would strongly advise joining our forum to get some help and information to get you started, maybe look at a bit of basic training too (Dorset marine training are on your doorstep) In the uk we are lucky nothing is compulsory, but we would strongly advise to get insurance, wear a life jacket and use a killcord, - very basic things that can save lives. You can find us at f-ribsandsibs.com/forum

F-Ribs and Sibs great thanks for the info 👍

raulbora - Hi. In the UK there is no requirement for licensing etc but we do strongly advise all newbies to undertake some training if you’re completely new to the sport. Always wear a killcord/lifejacket and carry a means of communication for your own safety should the unthinkable happen. Registration & Third party insurance is sometimes required for specific slipways/councils etc. Find out all you need and more at f-ribsandsibs.com/forum

Hi Alasdair Marshall, you’ll find us at F-RibsAndSibs.com/forum

BEN10TO10 - those were a couple of NONE folding ribs that F-Rib HQ were looking to possibly retail. The far one visible on the rollers is the 375, the other is a 420 - slightly too long for the trailer. All the info you need, and more is available from the guys and girls on F-RibsAndSibs.com/forum

BEN10TO10 - Hi Ben, we can answer all your questions and more on f-ribsandsibs.com/forum Join the guys and get all the help and advice you need to get on the water safely - maybe meet up with members for a run out 👍🏻

Hi Paul, That foldable rib is fitted with a 15hp two stroke. You'll find a variety of SIB & F-Ribs owners and their craft on f-ribsandsibs.com/forum

Thats a 15hp suzuki 4 stroke gaz

Have just ordered the t38 today but still can't make up my mind what size outboard to go for. Limited room in my Nissan nv 200 van. Have been looking at the tohatsu 9.8 and 15. Probably will go for the 15hp as its more likely going to get me to the IOW. 🤔 How do you rate yr combo re honwave/Suzuki ?

Gazpic - there’s certainly plenty of the guys down south - you’ll always find a boating buddy. Don’t forget, loads of help and information on the forum to help you make a decision which is a suitable craft for you and your needs. Always worth a chat with the guys before spending your hard earned beer tokens.

Great thanks. You got that right about my beer tokens 😃🍺🍺🍺🍺 I'm a real newbie when it comes to boats so appreciate the advice. Currently have an Intex excursion which I poodle about Chichester harbour on. So looking forward to getting a sib. I'll get some practise in early next year in the harbour and would love to meet up when I'm more acquainted with the boat. 👍

Hey Gazpic , From start to finish I think it took about 25mins. That was loading the boat with all my gear too. Seats, fuel, rods, food etc... you’ll get a great insight into the Honwave or other inflatables by visiting f-ribsandsibs.com/forum A great inflatable boat community full of knowledge & experience.

Hiya. Thanks for the info. Currently have an Intex excursion 😂 try not to laugh ! Will update to a honwave next year when I have more experience under my belt. Thank you for the link. Keep an eye out for me, you might find me causing havoc in Emsworth harbour and thereabouts ... 👍👍👍🚣🏾

Gazpic - no problem. It’s worth joining to see if some of the regulars are going out local to you.. A great way to learn or just to enjoy boating in company

Cheers. I'll join today. Thanks again for all the info. 👍

Hiya, just a quick question. Have you been out on the boat without the aluminium floor and how stable was it and how comfortable as well ? 😃

Mike Vermillion - yes buddy. I’m a Suzuki outboard fan and the Honwaves are superb sibs. The package works well together.

Hi Andrew, it’s quick and easy buddy.. go to f-ribsandsibs.com/forum Click on register, choose a username and sign up. It’s fun,free and friendly and you’ll be welcomed aboard by the guys.

Hi Simon, that's a 3.6m folding rib (3 section articulated hull that folds up and fits into a decent sized family Zara or can. Find out more at f-ribsandsibs.com/index.php

Indeed there is. You'll have to speak to foldablerib.com direct as we're an independent forum not connected with sales but I'm sure they can advise/help you.

Thanks for the kind words David. No not Swanage, we launched at Baiter Park slipway within Poole harbour. Address is Labrador Dr, Poole BH15 1UX. Plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers, £13.80 for the days parking and use of slipway. It's very popular there if it's good weather so get there before 9am.

F-Ribs and Sibs thanks for the information I will give it try last time we launched from swanage beach but now our boat is on a trailer be first time trying it, do we need proof of insurance or any sepcifications launching there? i must get a Ringo looks great fun.

F-Ribs and Sibs I see your have a number on your sib is that something that's needed? sorry for all the questions just been out few times but don't know the ins and outs of registration etc we do have sib insurance

Thanks David for all your comments. I've launched from Baiter slipway some 6-7 times and never had to produce anything to anyone ....yet! Great you've been sensible gaining insurance as you never know what can happen! You seem to be full of questions mate so why not join our friendly forum f-ribsandsibs.com/index.php - it's free to join, no adverts, non-profit making, it's where all these questions can be answered by your fellow enthusiasts ;-) BTW there's a no such thing as a silly question policy there, we just enjoy sibbing and sharing information :-)

I don't have a number on it David, Are you referring to the logo on the rear of the tubes? That'll be the folding rib or F-Rib logo i guess.

Thanks Ian, Sorry for the late reply.. For some reason we didn't receive a notification of your post. Be sure to join us in F-Ribs And Sibs Inflatable Boat forum.. It's fun, free and very friendly !!

Why don't you join us on f-RibsAndSibs.com and we can help advise you on a boat suitable for you and your needs? We don't sell any boats or accessories , we are purely a users forum :)

Nothing else on the market that folds away matches its performance, hence the premium price I suppose :-/ This video was shot at 25mph/23knts with a 15hp ;-) in quite a choppy condition I think you'd agree.

I've clocked a FRIB 375 hit 29mph with a Suzuki 15hp attached. Very stable, very fast and ultimately very impressive!

We've clocked our 330 with a 9.9 Suzuki, two up, into a 10 mph head wind at 16.9 knots.

We are solely a forum for inflatable and folding boats, F-RibsAndSibs.Com is where we're at. Thanks

That depends on the outboard size and boat load. All the info you may want is on F-RibsAndSibs.Com/forum You’ll find speeds , weights etc.Thanks

it's the same boat

The F-Rib is a CE marked boat available from foldablerib.com ..They have several outlets in UK, Europe & USA.

Not quite the same boat but still built by Winboat in Russia in a different section to the 'home market'. Higher UV resilient tubes, pressure relief valves fitted and stainless fixings with a few other modifications.

Thanks for info.

+ruger blackhawk Hi, The only buzzing I hear is when its recorded, probably just electrical interference? mines the carburettor version, I guess as your running yours in, it'll be the efi ?Pop on f-RibsAndSibs.com and ask the guys if they've noticed anything.

+F-Ribs and Sibs Thanks I will take a look.
