This year you will have found Ballistic RIBs exhibiting at the Guernsey Boat Show. Based in the Channel Islands, the Guernsey Boat Show was a huge success with many visitors coming to look at the RIBs and boats that were on offer.

Channel Island dealers, MW Marine Ltd, based in Guernsey, had a 7.8m Ballistic and a 6.5 on display in a great position next to St Peters Port. MW Marine Ltd have been recently appointed by JBT Marine Ltd as Ballistic dealers in the channel Islands. The feed back from the boat show was fantastic as the Ballistic RIB is ideally suited to island use and the sea conditions that you find round there.

Visitors came to the show from Jersey, Sark, Herm and Alderney. If you didn’t manage to get to the boat show over the weekend why not visit the Jersey Boat Show that is on next weekend (3-5 May 2008) which is being organised by Jersey Harbours in association with Colin Stewart.

The only other RIBs on display at the Guernsey Boat Show were Edward Pedley’s Predators and Stinger RIBs made in Italy. I think there is a dealer on the island for Ribeye and Avon. But sadly they did not make it to the boat show.

Those that came to the show will have also seen a great selection of fishing boats, powerboats and sailing boats.

Just in, is the RIB X 6.2m. This RIB is in good condition and would be great for family or diving use, why not check out the advert at JBT Marine. 

A friend just sent me a link to an interesting website that sells special video cameras that would be perfect for your RIB or speed boat. I have not tried these cameras out so please let me know if you have any experience of them.

The site describes them as :

Professional Bullet Camera Kits
They say that their motto is
“if it moves, stick a camera on it”.

Here is an extract from their website:

Our mission is to supply the very finest quality video equipment backed up by top quality service.
You can use our helmet cameras for whatever sports activities you get up to.

Much better than simply trying to hold a camcorder. Make your own professional quality video recordings using outrageous movie style angles capturing every exhilarating moment. Keep your memories alive forever!

Show your friends and family exactly what you experience with tiny video cameras giving them a “Your eye view” of the all things you get up to at the weekend.
