Focus on the manufacturer: BRIG, aeronautical engineering for the yachting industry

If you're looking for RIBs that combine top performance with impeccable craftsmanship, Brig is the obvious choice.

Recognised for its cutting-edge technology inherited from aeronautics and its commitment to quality, Brig is a major player in the global pleasure boat market.

History and founding of BRIG

The Brig story begins in 1992 in the town of Kherson, in Ukraine. At the time, the USSR had just collapsed, and many talented engineers were out of work.

It is against this backdrop that Valeriy Kostiuk, former chief engineer at the Yakovlev aircraft factory, decides to bring together a team of former colleagues to create a new company.

Motivated by their thirst for innovation and their technical know-how, these outstanding engineers then decided to turn their attention to a field that was new to them: boatbuilding.

They then founded Brig, in reference to a type of two-masted sailing ship used by pirates and privateers, a company specializing in the manufacture of inflatable and semi-rigid boats.

In 2014, the company was acquired by the Brunswick Corporation group, one of the world leaders in the marine industry. This acquisition has enabled Brig to increase its investment in research and development, and further expand its presence on the international market.

Aeronautical heritage at the heart of Brig's DNA

Brig's philosophy can be summed up in one phrase: marrying the cutting-edge technology and precision of aeronautical engineering with the best of naval craftsmanship. This unique marriage results in semi-rigid boats renowned for their:

• Outstanding strength and manoeuvrability thanks to construction techniques derived from aeronautics.
• Exceptional sailing performance offering remarkable speed and agility.
• Increased reliability and safety for confident outings at sea.
