RIBEX is the world’s only boat show dedicated solely to Rigid Inflatable Boats.
The Ultimate Arena for checking out New RIBs
RIBEX 2010 at Cowes Yacht Haven, Isle of Wight RIBEX is one of Europe’s most successful specialist powerboat shows. Now in its 11th year, the Suzuki sponsored, RIBEX 2010 will once again be returning to Cowes Yacht Haven in the second weekend of May for what promises to be, yet another highly successful three day, sell-out, festival of power. The show traditionally features over 80 boats afloat in the event marina ready for public sea trial plus a whole tented village of special exhibits, food outlets and interactive displays. However, for 2010, a brand new feature is to be introduced; namely, an open air public concert on the Saturday night of the three day show. |

New Yamaha Engines to make their European debut at RIBEX 2010 |
Yamaha Motor have just released full details of four new outboard engines destined for the UK – the ground-breaking Yamaha F70 and the flagship 4.2-litre, V6 engines; the F300, F250 and F225 variants for the larger RIB and sportsboat market.
Officially shown to the public for the first time at the recent Miami Boat Show, these new Yamaha engines have caused a real wave of excitement among powerboat enthusiasts with their class-leading, power-to-weight figures.
The new engines are set to make their European debut with display at RIBEX 2010 in Cowes, IOW, on the 7th - 9th May. RIBEX Show Organiser, Hugo Montgomery-Swan commented, “we are really thrilled over the news that Yamaha have chosen to launch these ground-breaking new engine models at RIBEX 2010. This will be the very first time that anyone in Europe will have had the opportunity to see the new engines and in addition, the show will afford the media and public alike, the opportunity of speaking to face to face with the key people from Yamaha about the F70 and the flagship 4.2-litre, V6 engines”.
First deliveries to Yamaha dealers and builders are expected in June so the timing of RIBEX 2010, along with the dedicated audience it attracts, creates the perfect launch platform.
The full Yamaha outboard press release is available on CD with action and studio images and a technical specification guide. The CD also contains details of Yamaha’s new control and rigging options including a unique new multi-function, colour, single digital gauge to fit the new V6 models.
The new Yamaha engines are available in a number of different variants to suit every type of transom, with the F70 also having a multi-function tiller handle option.
Price details for every model will be announced shortly. Test opportunities will follow.
