Trade Review“encapsulates a huge amount of information into a very compact, splash-proof and easy to access flip book… It is extremely well laid out and in a good chronological order and covers pretty well everything with excellent visuals (including photographs). I would not hesitate to ensure everyone on board had a copy – at £7.99 it’s an amazing investment.” (Little Ship Club) “a most informative and instructive booklet… This manual should be part of the equipment for a club or personal RIB.” (Afloat, October 2019)
