Hypalon boats made in the UK

[SixtyNorth]

Which firms still manufacture hypalon boats in the UK? So far I've come up with Humber and Avon, though it seems Avon are now owned by Zodiac and some people have suggested a drop in quality. Are they still making inflatables in Wales? The old Avon workboats were very good quality.

Do you mean purely inflatable - as opposed to RIBS?

Thanks. Yes, I was actually thinking of inflatables, not ribs.

Henshaw makes a special forces sib.

SIT also make a sib around 4.7m.

Both have high pressure floors that are the shape of the keel so they handle like ribs

You caught me too, but I have extra buttons to tidy up my mistakes. I'm glad I'm not an RYA Instructor or I'd be REALLY embarrassed...
