Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Impressive ZH1120 OB

The OB stands for OutBoards.

With an amazing four decades of specialized heritage, the company produces high-end RIBs engineered for peak operational efficiency.

Clients are able to specify fiberglass or aluminum hulls paired with diverse propulsion systems, including jet or propeller drives.

These maintenance-friendly designs also feature detachable collars, which are available in hybrid D-shapes or proprietary Durarib™ foam. This patented system upgrades an inflatable buoyancy tube to a foam-filled one. It retains 100% of its shape and functionality even if punctured.

The firm remains dedicated to providing tactical, purpose-built vessels. These RIBs meet the rigorous demands of global defense and commercial sectors like this ZH1120.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Two New Highfield Escape Models

Highfield Boats introduces a new fiberglass lineup, further expanding its product range into the fiberglass market.

Following the success of the ADV7, two new Escape fiberglass RIB models are launched.

These boats are closely related to the Sport models, yet they are completely newly developed.

The Escape 650

This boat offers luxurious finishes, smart storage solutions, and a comfortable, dry ride.

Removable EVA decking, premium Spradling upholstery, and a larger console improve usability and onboard comfort.

The 750 Stands Out

This vessel has increased space, an optional windlass, and more powerful engine options.

Both models in the Highfield Escape series share a deep-V hull and large tubes.

They deliver an impressively dry and stable ride, according to the tester.

They combine sportiness, comfort, and choice within Highfield’s growing fiberglass family.
