Foldable rib
The FRIB is a Foldable Rigid Inflatable Boat. The original design was commissioned by the Russian Federation Emergency Response Agency who had a requirement for a robust, fast deployment craft that could be transported inside a helicopter.
Steve Bruce, our MD, got involved in 2014 when he was operating a yacht sales business and was introduced to the FRIB development team by an Estonian yacht builder he was working with.
Intrigued by the incredible strong and simple design, that locks together by slotting and bolting the floor together with a few wingnuts, he realised this could revolutionise boating and tenders.
Having previously struggled to find suitable, affordable tenders that were easy to stow for his cruising customers, he was seeking an alternative to the small inflatable rubber tender.
