BRIG Poker Run Unites Boating Community Norway 2026

BRIG Poker Run Turns Hanko Marina Into a Family Adventure

The BRIG poker run in Norway brought together an international community of BRIG boat owners and dealers for a weekend of adventure at Hanko Marina.

Teams from the UK, Finland, and Norway joined forces, sailing various BRIG models including Eagle 8s, Eagle 6.7s, Eagle 10s, and Navigators through Norway’s stunning coastline. See all specs below.

Participants on the BRIG Poker Run collected playing cards at multiple stops, building poker hands while enjoying food, drinks, and camaraderie along the route.

The event highlighted BRIG’s emphasis on family, friendship, and shared passion for boating rather than pure competition.

The journey concluded back at Hanko Marina with a celebratory dinner, live music, and a beautiful sunset.

Organizers Atler and Hegay were thanked for hosting the unforgettable BRIG Poker Run that strengthened the global BRIG community.

Fourteen RIBs and Two Jet Skis at the Pasty Run

The 14th Annual Pasty Run and Hunt took place during the weekend of 23rd and 24th May 2026 across Devon and Cornwall waters.

The event has grown significantly over recent years and is now probably the South Coast’s largest RIB gathering, outside Easdale in Scotland.

The event originally began after the Nacho Run, organised through Ribnet, where Hampshire crews enjoyed nachos while Cornish crews preferred pasties instead.

Over the years, RIBs of every size and style gathered together, cruising Cornish waters while searching enthusiastically for the famous elusive pasty.

For the first time, the 2026 event included an overnight stop, travelling east into Devon instead of remaining within Cornwall throughout entirely.

Fourteen RIBs and two jet skis travelled from Plymouth Breakwater Fort to Torquay, stopping overnight through Salcombe and Dartmouth during the social cruise.

The RIBs

The cruise was led by a Highfield Patrol 600, while an impressive Highfield Sport 700 followed behind, bringing up the rear.

Between the Highfields were RIBs of many shapes and sizes, including a 4m Tornado, Atlantic 21, and solid 7.4m Delta prominently.

Other boats included a Ribcraft, Ribtec, several Brigs, an Osprey, a Valiant, Avon Super Sport, and an X-Pro among the fleet.

Two Sea-Doos joined the adventure, although a third jet ski, a Yamaha, unfortunately failed to reach the starting location before departure.

RIB Eagle 630 Full Resto 2025 by Vasillis Pedridis

This Eagle 630 is No Ordinary Inflatable

When I came across this video, I had to share it.

Measuring close to 7 meters overall, it is a heavily built offshore RIB inspired by legendary Avon deep-V hulls.

Those hulls are renowned for comfort, safety, and exceptional rough-water performance.

The 2025 rebuild included new Orca Carbon Off White tubes, full gelcoat restoration, new decking, and a redesigned console.

Upgraded systems and modern electronics further enhanced reliability and offshore capability.

Power comes from a Suzuki DF200 V6 with a carefully optimized setup.

The result is stronger efficiency, improved torque, rapid planing, and confident handling.

Solid, capable, and built for real sea conditions, this classic offshore hull of the Eagle 630 now performs exactly as intended.


I’ve posted more articles about DIY projects for you to enjoy.

Proud to share that ORCA Retail and ORCA Pennel & Flipo are good Friends of RIBs ONLY.


Brig Navigator 20 Updated

Brig Navigator 20 Updated @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat

All-New BRIG Navigator 20

In this video the team conducted coastal trials near Pauanui, New Zealand, to evaluate the Navigator 20 adventure RIB’s performance.

This Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) carries CE category C certification (check out what this really means).

The certification permits safe operation in Force 6 winds on the Beaufort scale. If you’ve been out in that gale, you know a bigger boat is safer.

Read all about the Beaufort scale and sea state here.

These conditions include strong breezes of 22-27 knots and wave heights up to 2 meters.

Their comprehensive testing revealed operational capabilities during this thorough maritime evaluation.

Ukrainian Built BRIG RIBs

Despite the war (2026), production in Ukraine continues. The Navigator range has relaunched with the 22, 24, and 26 models.

The BRIG Navigator 22 was eagerly awaited. It was designed for the Atlantic with a pronounced V-shaped hull.

This model boasts more adventurous styling than the calmer Eagle range.

The new 22 features a polyester hardtop, ovalized tubes instead of round ones, and a 200 APX Suzuki engine.

It reached 43 to 44 knots, offering strong performance, fishing potential, leisure versatility, and ample space around its central console.
