I’ve also bought one but haven’t tried it out yet, it was about £75 off eBay. Pritch did you stick the hook & loop pads on or just sat it on the tubes.

Hi
It was £80 .
Quite expensive but it does seem well made.
It's just sitting on the tubes at the moment but it feels very solid. It does come with the velcro patches to glue pin the sib, but I feel they won't be needed.

Looking good pritch, I am tempted myself to go for the air frame, though I’d cover it with my own material.
Anyone fitted one to a FRIB 375 yet, I’m trying to avoid being the guinea pig lol :mrgreen:

I will end up getting one for my F360.
It will be a little while yet as I'm not sure when I'm next on the boat

Would you mind sharing the EBay link for this please Pritch?

I’m interested in it (or something similar) for my F-RIB too.

Cheers,

Phil
