Orca by Pennel & Flipo Rib Shop
Two Highfields. Two complete retubes. Two very different looks. 🔥
After suffering extensive tube damage in separate incidents, both of these Highfield Boats UK RIBs came to us for a new lease of life.
Equinox, opted for Anthracite Orca (official) Hypalon with black fittings, paired with fresh Peach upholstery by Waveline Upholstery
While she was with us, our team also completed an engine service on the Honda UK Marine BF100, fitted new nav lights and a bilge pump, antifouled the hull and finished everything off with a full valet.
SB3 went bold with Etna Red Hypalon — because if you’re going to be out on duty, you may as well stand out doing it 😎
As always, both sets of tubes were fitted with Leafield Marine valves and OPVs for additional safety.
Based at MDL Marinas Hamble Point, getting your boat to us couldn’t be easier. Arrive by water, pull up alongside the Events Pontoon and let our team take care of the rest 😎
Our winter refit diary is already filling up, so if your RIB needs new tubes, repairs, servicing or a little TLC, now’s the time to get booked in.
Get in touch and we’ll make sure your boat is ready to hit the water for the 2027 season 🚤
