It has been a great platform for teaching from and manoeuvrable in close quarters and due to its construction it's robust and tough."

The RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show / Suzuki Marine Safety Boat competition was launched in 2014 to celebrate the launch of three new safety boat packages from Suzuki Marine. The Rigiflex Newmatic 360 powered by a Suzuki DF9.9A engine is one of the three safety boat packages developed by Suzuki in partnership with Ribcraft and Rigiflex, to a specification agreed by the RYA to offer clubs standard packages that will cater for the prime needs of most clubs and training centres.
Alongside the inland/inshore Rigiflex, there is also a 4.8m inshore RIB and a 5.85m coastal RIB from Ribcraft. For more information about the Suzuki Marine safety boat packages visit www.rya.org.uk/go/safetyboatpackages
