Playa Blanca Ribbing?

After failing to find anything by searching the web, I am hoping someone on here can help.

Is there a RIB supplier or two in Lanzarote or Fuerteventura? I was going to say good ones, but I'm not sure there are any at all!

Are there any decent launch sites for a 5-6m RIB in or near Playa Blanca. Neither of the marinas appear to have slipways.

From memory there is a slipway at Marina Rubicon and there is also a chandlery there who might stock/obtain RIBs

Thanks Sutty. Couldn't see a slip on google maps sat view, but we are visiting the island in January (if travel permitted) so we will go and have a mooch around the marina and drop in to the chandlery and see what they can do for us or suggest.

Just checked on Google earth and it is still there . Assuming your Google earth is the same as mine, I searched for Marina Rubicon and when zoomed in it picks up Marina Rubicon Diving. Opposite this is a big shed - the Chandlers and behind that is the slipway
