F-RIB 275 replacement seat

Post by SimonR » 23 Apr 2018, 07:55

Hi - I lost the bench seat off my F-RIB 275 in a great storm* and can't see anyone selling replacements online. I have some sliding clips and can make my own replacement from marine ply, but I'd really appreciate it if someone here could tell measure theirs and tell me the size of the original. Maybe total length as well as the distance from one clip groove to the opposite clip groove, so I get the same tension once it's inflated.

Simon

*great storm - we were towing the frib behind a yacht off Eigg in bad weather and it inverted and started submarining. Panic ensued, but by the time we finished arguing about it the waves had flipped it upright again, minus the bench. My bad I think. :oops:

Hi Simon, welcome aboard :thumbsup
If you ring Steve at F-Rib HQ, I’m sure he’ll either source a replacement or give you the seat dimensions.

Martin :thumbsup
