Worth knowing

Barnet Marine Centre Ltd; cover, cost and conditions

Barnet Marine Centre is a British business that has spent decades selling and servicing inflatables and outboard engines, and it sells its own rigid inflatables under the XS RIBs name. Leisure owners buy them, but so do light commercial users: sailing clubs, dive operators and law enforcement and fire services run XS boats as safety and work craft. The model names are easy to read. XS is followed by a three digit number that gives roughly the length in centimetres, so the XS 360 is 3.6 metres long and the XS 850 8.5 metres. Three models add the word Sport.

Our model records hold 21 entries for Barnet Marine, every one a rigid inflatable. They cover 19 model names, because the XS 600 and XS 750 each appear with two build periods. The earliest is the first XS 750, built from 2005 to 2011, followed by an XS 600 from 2012 to 2016 and the XS 700 from 2013. All other lines start in 2014 and run into the most recent build years. Lengths range from the 3.6 metre XS 360 to the 9.9 metre XS 990, and the Sport versions are the XS 600 Sport, XS 680 Sport and XS 760 Sport.

Most XS boats up to about six metres live on a trailer and reach the water by slipway, which keeps them flexible for club and coastal use. The tubes need the most attention: rinse off salt and sand after use, keep them out of strong sun when the boat is ashore, and check valves and seams before the season. The larger XS 850 and XS 990 are more likely to stay on a mooring or in a marina, where a fitted tarpaulin and regular bilge checks keep them ready.
