Sorry to say, it’s looking very much like a no go on the Frib bow cover..
it seems foldable rib and their accessories are very short in supply..
Have you thought of making one ?

Martin 👍🏻

If your close enough perhaps go see if one might suit your f-rib.

@Martin it's a shame they are out of stock, the F-RIB bow Dodger looks great in the photos I've seen.

As you suggest, maybe making one is the way forward and as luck would have it my wife is a dab hand with a sewing machine.

Thanks again for your input.

That place gets their bow canopies from F-Rib HQ .. I already linked our supporting f-rib dealer in hope to obtain one.. there’s unfortunately no Uk stock at the moment.

@GerryM I made my own as I think the F-Rib canopy took inspiration from the Lada Riva in the looks department :lol:

Lada Riva

I attach my self made canopy with Railblaza Bimini mounts into Railblaza quickports - it’s quick and easy to install, it’s sturdy and it looks the part.
