looking for a 6.0 to 6.5 meter NARROW rib

Hello,

i would like to change my current rib for a bigger one - new or second hand - but i am very limited in the width the authorities will allow me to put on my slip (even though a 255cm rib fits, they won't accept anything wider than 210-230cm on the certificate - but won't check if certificate matches the real size). So the best would be a 240cm wide rib with 220cm on the certificate but i know Christmas is behing us already

So far, i have only found a few models that would possibly match my needs, but none of them are necessarily family-oriented....
Osprey eagle 600
Roughneck 636
Alphaboat 600
Ballistic Rib 6m
Brig Navigator 610
humber leisurepro 630

If anything comes to your mind, just let me know

best regards

arnaud

I believe Xs ribs have a range of narrower ribs but not sure they get to 6.0m ,however if you give them a call and speak to laurence lock ,then he will be able to offer some of the best advice you will get (he has probhably forgotten more about ribs than many of us know)

Long/narrow RIBs can be a handful, especially in following seas. The Humber Attaque was a prime example.

We always found ours pretty confidence inspiring for the couple of years we had it. Tbh 'downhill' was where it was most fun.
