In the mid 1990s, entrepreneur Nick Parish bought the rights to Frankowski's design and created the Ballistic brand. Parish spent a few years developing the Ballistic RIB brand in the leisure and commercial markets from his Hayling Island base before deciding to find a partner to boost production levels. In 2002, Parish teamed up with Hampshire-based Jonny Boys, one of the leading second-hand Rigid Inflatable Boat distributors in the UK, but not before his new partner had put several Ballistic RIBs to the test in the unforgiving Trans Agulhas race in the shark-infested waters of Cape Agulhas off the southernmost tip of South Africa. The Ballistics performed superbly. Parish and Jonny Boys worked together to build the reputation of the Ballistic, in particular in the family leisure boating sector, before Jonny bought the rights to the boat in 2005. Jonny has since further expanded production of the Ballistic and continues to update and improve the boat's design. It has also begun to build a global distribution network for the Ballistic, most recently establishing the Ballistic brand in Scandinavia, where the boats are proving popular on the waters of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and now Australia. <h5 class="font_5"><span class="color_18"> </span></h5> <h5 class="font_5"></h5>
