Ribex- dedication to
rigid inflatables
RIBEX 2009:
8th-10th May 2009
RIBEX is the world’s only boat
show dedicated solely to Rigid
Inflatable Boats.
For ribsters - it is the show
not to be missed!
For the industry, it represents
a unique opportunity to target
a highly concentrated audience
of open boat mariners both
private and professional. The
show’s mission is to promote
the awareness and
use of RIBs in
all sectors of the
marine industry
and to stage a true
show in every sense
of the word.
Cowes and its
Yacht Haven are
recognized as playing host
to some of the most famous
international powerboat and
yachting events in the world
We are therefore delighted
to have secured this exclusive
event site in this beautiful
waterside town as a home for
RIBEX; a site affording the
most excellent facilities and
services plus a truly superb
events marina and adjacent
open water trialing ground.
