Where are Falcon dealers?

Seven · 07 February 2007, 16:54

Hi there,

i'm new to this forum. I'm trying to find out who's selling Falcon (South Africa) ribs .
Are there any dealers out in GB? Or in Skandinavia or anywhere else in Europe.

Can't find any information about that on the net.

Thanks for you support!

The domain hasn't been sold, but there appears to be a problem with the web design/hosting company parknet communications.

They have either deliberately or accidently diverted the web site to their home page.

Thought I may as well ask parknet communications to see if it was a problem their end. Apparently RIB-X haven't paid their bills.

Anyone know if they are still trading?

They are still advertising in the magazines might be an oversight on their accounting dept??

The RIB-X website is online again!

Seven,

This thread is a bit old now but I thought I should add to it.

I know the owner of Rib-X because I have bought two boats off him and I can assure you the reason the website was offline was an adminstrative error by the webhosts.

I think Rib-X's boats are excellent and they are a very friendly firm to deal with. You won't regret buying one.

Peter.

Are these coming out of the same factory as the Mako's? They look almost identical. The a-frame, console, color and rub strikes.

No they are not. Aparently the Mako factory closed when they went broke 2 years ago and Ballastic bought some of their moulds from the receiver. They are now selling the hulls back to the UK.
