Oh, we even made it into the daily Portsmouth News!!

In the days leading up to the Powerboat and RIB Show 2012 Team JBT were slightly nervous about what the weekend weather would hold for us. However, after a few weeks of grey skies and torrential rain, the sun finally made an appearance this month as a light breeze fluttered the dozens of exhibitor flags in Gunwharf Quays marina.

JBT Marine took this opportunity to showcase their world renowned Ballistic RIBs. The dozens of compliments we received on the design and presentation of the Ballistic 5.5m, 6.5m and 7.8m is testament to the style and careful attention to detail that these RIBs are famous for. Those lucky enough to be taken for a sea trial on the Ballistic 5.5 or 6.5 got a fantastic chance to see just what a dry, safe and exhilarating ride the Ballistics give.

The bright sunshine, great location and brilliant atmosphere made for a top weekend for RIB enthusiasts. If you weren’t able to make it down to see us last weekend, don’t panic! We run regular demonstration events for our Ballistics. Get in touch with the office today on 0870 908 9336 or email us at info@ribsforsale.com

Team JBT are delighted to announce that we will be exhibiting our fantastic Ballistic RIBs at this years Powerboat and RIB Show at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth. The show will run from Friday 11th May until Sunday 13th May and is FREE to get in! This event was known in previous years as Ribex, however with the new title of Powerboat and RIB Show it should be bigger and better than ever before!

Even with the twin rig setup, the Ballistic 7.8 still offers a safe and dry ride.
