Organiser, Hugo Montgomery-Swan said, ‘This year’s show will have a wide range of exhibitors showing not just RIBs and powerboats, but also many of the other vital associated products. This will make for a very well-rounded show for visitors.’

Disability sports ambassador Geoff Holt MBE’s new 9 metre Cheetah catamaran, powered by two Suzuki 300hp outboards, will be on show at the event. Wetwheels is Geoff’s latest project which enables fellow wheelchair users to get out on the water for a powerboat experience.

This is the first time that the Powerboat and RIB Show, which is free to visit, has been at this premier South Coast waterfront location. Visitors will be able to trial boats at the marina and take advantage of the outlet shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues at Gunwharf Quays.
