RIB-X<br />
Rib-X International offer a range of British designed<br />
and built SOLAS tenders from 5.0 to 8.5 metres,<br />
together with a custom range of SOLAS tenders<br />
for the Yacht looking for something a little different. The<br />
SOLAS Rescue Boat is designed to act as a man-overboard<br />
recovery boat and provide a marshalling vessel<br />
for life rafts in the event of abandoning the mother ship.<br />
All Rib-X rescue craft are engineered to comply with the<br />
most stringent requirements for a SOLAS tender, that<br />
said they are built to the same finish and offer the same<br />
functionality as the regular Rib-X superyacht tenders,<br />
effectively offering the yacht the capability of carrying<br />
less tenders yet still fully complying with safety<br />
regulations. Rib-X International is 9001 approved meaning<br />
there is assurance of quality and control throughout the<br />
entire build process.<br />
