7th – 9th May 2010: Ribex 2010 Cowes. RIBEX is the world’s only boat show dedicated solely to Rigid Inflatable Boats. The Ultimate Arena for checking out New RIBs at Cowes Yacht Haven.
RIBEX is one of Europe’s most successful specialist powerboat shows. Now in its 11th year, the Suzuki sponsored, RIBEX 2010 will once again be returning to Cowes Yacht Haven in the second weekend of May for what promises to be, yet another highly successful three day, sell-out, festival of power. The show traditionally features over 80 boats afloat in the event marina ready for public sea trial plus a whole tented village of special exhibits, food outlets and interactive displays. However, for 2010, a brand new feature is to be introduced; namely, an open air public concert on the Saturday night of the three day show.
