We used an Offshore rib as a yacht club rescue boat about 20 years ago it was worked very hard in all conditions. Think they mostly made commercial ribs for Customs/ Police ect. A friend of mine has an Offshore 5.7 rib that he has just fitted a new interior to. It's a very capable sub 6 M rib. I'll try and find a picture.
