Shipyards and boat builders: RIBs

Slavia Radionov with his team of engineers has been building RIBS in Kharkiv (or Харків locally) in the Ukraine since the early 1990s.

Mathew and John Hornsby are two brothers with a passion for boat building. In 1995 they decided to turn their pastime into a business, creating handcrafted wooden power boats from their Mother’s garden shed. They took the name Williams from their Mother’s maiden name.
In 2004 Roy Parker joined the team and together focused efforts on building a range of performance jet tenders for yachts.
