Avon first developed the concept of the Rigid Inflatable Boat in the early 80s, and since that time RIBs have grown to be a major component of the inflatable boat market. In fact, in 2006 we sold as many rigid hull tenders as we did traditional collapsible dinghies, which indicates that the concept hasn't just come of age, it's come to dominate.
The Zodiac YL-310 R (above) bonds a Zodiac Strongan® skin to a high-quality double deck fiberglass hull. The vee of the Zodiac is slightly shallower than some other boats, which gives it smooth performance in calm water and quickness to plane
The Avon Rover Rib (at right) has a Hypalon/nylon skin, which offers excellent durability even in tropical environments.The Rover Rib also includes a built-in bow storage locker to help keep the cockpit of the boat neat and organized.
Both the Zodiac and Avon ten foot RIBs include seat, pump, repair kit, and oars, along with extensive warranties and a worldwide range of service stations. |
RIB tenders offer the best compromise between high performance and ease of use. Their solid hulls provide sure footing even in rough harbor chop, and the deep vee helps plane the boats up in no time at all.
 Avon inflatables come with a ten year warranty on the material of the boats, the best warranty in the inflatable industry. With an international base of service centers, your Avon can be repaired easily no matter where you go.
