For over a decade we have been the proud NZ dealer of Brig Boats - one of the world's leading RIB manufacturers.
Brig HQ is based in Kharkiv, one of Ukraine's largest cities, which unfortunately means their production has ground to a halt under the current Russian invasion.
Our focus first and foremost is on supporting the nearly 500 Brig workers whose lives have been derailed by the war. Brig have pledged to continue to pay their staff throughout the crisis, and Family Boats, along with many other Brig dealers around the world, have been donating directly to a Brig fund in order to support this effort for their staff and families.
Limited contact with the factory has informed us that their site is still standing and they are confident in a return to production, which they are already making preparations for. We have a small number of Brigs in stock now and are looking forward to having their full range back in our showroom soon.
