RIBs ONLY Welcome

This blog is devoted to the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Why RIBs?

PASSION FOR RIBs

I’ve always been fascinated by the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Their form, style, lay-out, toughness, seaworthiness and sportive way of navigating are the unquestionable advantages you’ll rarely find combined in another type of boat.

TYPE OF RIBs

This type of boat is also known as the 4 x 4 of the sea. Rescue services, military, police, port staff often use RIBs because of their excellent behavior, seaworthiness and solidity. Other RIBs are fitted for pleasure, fishing and racing. A RIB is indeed a very special type of motorboat. Know what to look for when buying a RIB.

Now That’s a Rough Sea!

A group of sailors braved winds as strong as 90 mph to complete a terrifying training exercise on the Southern Ocean. This is a Zodiac Hurricane RIB with inboard engine.

Footage from February 1st 2021 shows a small patrol RIB navigating its way over rough waves whipped up by extremely strong waves. The filmer said that if the boat had capsized the rescue operation would have been difficult as the sea is freezing cold and they were in a remote location.
