Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This is by the way the very first pan-European sea trial of the new Mercury V10 400 hp Verado done by our Greek friends at e-Ribbing.

Ribco Seafarer 36X’s Family

The brand is into the bigger RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) market with lengths staring from 10 meters as you can see in these videos here on RIBs ONLY.

The T-top of this Ribco Seafarer 36X boat is made entirely out of carbon.

Ribco uses the renowned Scorpion hulls who have a proven record. A very good choice.

Thank you for the engine sound at 01:26.

Ultimate Boats deep-V hull design

The unique Ultimate Boats’ deep V hull design by John Moxham promises the complete solution in demanding conditions.

Deep V Hull Design

Those who typically venture out in stormy waters should opt for a Rigid Inflatable Boat with a deep V hull design as it is essential for them to being able to do their job properly and safely.

Deep V hulls offer smooth sailing in rough seas, as they can easily cut through waves and offer a stable ride.

Deadrise

Rigid Inflatable Boats with a deep V-shaped hull create less friction, meaning it can move through water faster and smoother.

The amount of deep V is measured in degrees as you can see in the photo below. The yellow line is the maximum to measure.

In practice, the deadrise angle defines the size of the dihedral angle of a hull,
which is the angle that is formed between the two sides of the hull.

Different schemes

Different colours are offered now by a lot of RIB brands. This one depicts the possibilities of the Cobra Nautique 8.2 m Rigid Inflatable Boat, a well-known British brand.

In 1988 the brand started as a family-owned and operated business and has been independent ever since.

When it comes to variations, Penel en Flipo are the Orca makers and suppliers, located in Belgium, Europe. I wrote an article about their product here.

GALA Boats Great Walkaround at TIBS 2023

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Canada designs the Gala boats and started in 2015. They use aluminum to make the hull.

After searching a lot (the website only mentions “‘manufactured in Europe”) I finally found this decisive information: “The city of Kharkiv in Ukraine (…) is home to 3 well-known brands in the European RIB sector: Grand, Brig and Gala. The Grand shipyard also has a factory in Odessa, on the shores of the Black Sea.” (source)

This walkaournd video was shot during the Toronto International Boat Show.

The largest Rigid Inflatable Boat (today) is 7.8 meter (P8 model) but they have mostly smaller RIBs as you can see in these well-selected videos.
