The modern rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is a development of the inflatable boat, which has a rigid floor and solid hull.

The inflatable boat was so successful that Zodiac lacked the manufacturing capacity to satisfy demand. In the early 1960s, Zodiac licensed production to a dozen companies in other countries. In the 1960s, the
