If you are seeking to buy a premier quality second-hand RIB (rigid inflatable boat), or looking to sell your current RIB, the new RIBs For Sale Boat Show is a not to be missed event.

The Boat Show, which is organised by Portsmouth based firm RIBs For Sale, is aimed at leisure RIB owners and enthusiasts, sailing clubs, coaches and watersports organisations, to make buying and selling a RIB an easy and fun experience.

For boats sold at show there are special brokerage terms on offer for all RIB sellers, who can book in to have their RIB on show. Plus, there are Show discounts for boat purchases made during the event. Visitors will be able to view a variety of RIB brands as well as do on the spot sea trials in Portsmouth Harbour, without needing to book after show appointments.

For families looking at boat owning for the first time to experienced boaters and sailors, there's plenty of fun and entertainments going on too.

Youngsters will have the opportunity to sail in Optimist dinghies, in conjunction with Portchester Sailing Club. And on 14th and 15th September they can take part in Bart's Bash, a UK wide charity race commemorating Hampshire sailor, Andrew 'Bart' Simpson who died in an America's Cup sailing accident.

Visitors can try their hand at Stand Up Paddle Boarding, or RIB driving masterclasses, doing man overboard drills, dockside parking and picking up a mooring buoy. There'll be knot tying challenges and a Bird of Prey demonstration explaining the benefits of natural pest control.

The RIBs For Sale Boat Show takes place at Trafalgar Marina, situated just a few minutes drive from the M27 junction 12 at Trafalgar Wharf on Portsmouth Harbour.

Open from 10.00am to 5pm, it's free to enter, with free parking too.

Prospective boat sellers are invited to call 023 9239 7000 now, to find out more details about the boat sales package and arrange a boat check.
