Avon searider

I need a contact for Avon inflatables so I can get a quote for an insurance claim for a searider 4.7m commercial spec hull. All the email links on the Avon website are dead. Has any one got any ideas?

Many thanks

Damian

Zodiac came back out of administration recently. I thought I'd read avon's were still available...

Aha... no longer using the Avon name. Instead using the Zodiac Mil Pro name. But "Searider" lives on...

It's nothing short of incredible the origional design is virtually unchanged for so many years.

I'm a SR. Fan but not a geek like some so ive no idea how old that is... But most brands have needed to evolve. The searider seams to have stayed true to the original.

A little while back, when I re-did my SR, you could still call Avon over the number they have on this web adress
Avon Military and Profesional

They might be able to help with older boats, though i'm not sure..

If they're not in business Id imagine a quote for a similar spec 4.7 hull would be acceptable ?
