Rib And Chip Special!- Part 2

In this second follow-on article we discuss a few more RIB related topics that will assist you in keeping your inflatable in the best possible condition.

PRECAUTIONS

Punctures are always at the top of the list when it comes to RIBs and that is why it is important to keep sharp objects such as fishing knives, hooks and gaffs safely when being transported on RIBs. When navigating the waterways in a RIB, be cognisant of low-lying tree branches, rocky outcrops and metal protrusions at the dock. 

Try and avoid dragging the boat across the sand as this also wears away at the RIB’s protective material. Another thing to consider is the abrasion of things on the boat such as oars and accessories. With the constant movement of the boat, even dull objects can begin to wear away and cause deterioration of the protective coating. Remember to rinse any sand out of the inflatable after use to ensure no abrasive sand remains.
