    In fact, RIBeye in Devon, UK are a better bet for the tubes, the guy that used to be at henshaw in charge of tube design, now works at RIBeye. He designed and built the custom tubes for my boat.

    But as far as accessories go. Ever thought about building them yourself? seats especially. Its probably best to contact some companies in the UK, who will be able to hook you up with other companies, who will be able to help you. www.ribmagazine.com is a good place for information on various boat accessories and companies

    Have you come rights with RIB moulds and hulls.
    I have been a manufacturer of RIBs for 15 years and sold my business. Now I'm a RIB designer. I have access to loads of RIBS.
