Arriving in Arradon (Brittany, France) everything was ready to go out and enjoy RIBbing in the Morbihan and further out. A super spot. We’re June 2021.
Before boarding I was checking my bag for the charger of the VHF radio on the right (Cobra MR HH325 which is a very solid and a very good one), I turned red from shame to behind my ears: I had forgotten the charger at home.
At that moment I never realised I knew so many languages.
What do to now?

How to recognize another RIBs ONLY fan? Simply by wearing this RIBs ONLY Badge.
It is 56 mm finished with a brilliant layer on top so it can take some rain or spray. There is a pin version and a magnetic one. I ship worldwide.
How to get one? Check out the shop. Wear it and share your selfie in our Facebook group while stating your Rigid Inflatable Boat and engine brand. That would be great!
How can we recognize each other as RIBs ONLY members? By …
All are possible but since we are an international group, the shipping costs could swing out. So what about a 56 mm badge?
Back in the 70’s and 80’s these were enormously popular. Why not bring them back to life as a visual “RIBs ONLY ID”.
You can easily wear it, pass it on, give it as a present and so on.
Badges have many advantages. They’re last longing, you can use them the whole year round on many occasions and you can share your interest in our group to others.
On top of that, they’re unique. I have badges with a pin and as a magnetic version.
If you want one, visit our shop.
There is so much relevance in this statement on the photo above no matter what product or service you buy or sell.
When I relate to buying a Rigid Inflatable Boat, outboard engine and boat trailer you want an excellent after sales service, isn’t it. After all there’s a lot of hard-earned money involved. A solid company always takes into account the cost of after sales services.
And yes, beware of a price too good to be true.
Patrick Maes from CPI-Commercial Performance Improvement, summarizes it as follows:
Customer service is the new selling. Therefore make sure that your customer ends up in the service experience of your organization as quickly as possible.
This means that a company big or small, has a process, a flow to empower that service. This is an investment in client loyalty.

I’ve been using this Skywatch BL400 weather station for some time now and it does a great job.
This high tech Swiss device is connected to my iPhone through Bluetooth® technology. It’s handy, light weight, small enough to take along on my RIB tests and can be screwed onto a tripod or a monopod if necessary.
It’s delivered in a nice aluminium box. It is meant for mountaineers, para gliders, sport fisher men, hikers, sailors … and RIBbers of course.
There are three versions: yellow, green and blue.
The green version in the photo above is my personal Skywatch BL400 weather station that measures windspeed, temperature, humidity and pressure.
Compared to the official weather reports, it’s quite accurate. Swiss made, so I didn’t expect anything else. Besides measuring, you can also see this as a device to keep your adventures safe.
This is how it works.
