RIB Fender Mate launches smart new handle protection fix
New RIB Fender Mate offers RIB owners a simple, affordable answer to fender wear and untidy decks.
Edward Pedley, MD of MRL and UK distributor of the Italian RIB brand Stingher, told PBR: ‘The new 800 is a totally new hull and deck design from our Italian partner. It’s a boat that has been some 24 months in design and development, in fact. It’s also only been available for sale in Italy for the last 12 months due to its overwhelming demand, so we’re very proud to now make this new model available to the British public as we’re all convinced it’s a very special craft indeed.’
MRL and Southampton Dry Stack state that they have the first Stingher Super Sport 800 due for delivery to the UK at the end of May.
The new vessel incorporates a rearward-folding stern seat to provide additional relaxation space in the stern, plus a bimini top, electric sea toilet, fridge, sink, shower and windlass anchor, and is rigged with Mercury’s highly acclaimed 350hp Verado outboard.
