The Power of Images

I have strategically chosen to build a substantial video and media library focused on Rigid Inflatable Boats here on RIBsONLY.com.

The blog currently boasts a collection of 1,968 RIB videos and 3,208 media items distributed across 2,163 posts and 41 articles.

It was always that choice from the beginning.

Based on the results of 22 studies, Matthew Dunn estimates image processing times to be between 13 ms and 150 ms, the time to process a sentence containing 25 words to be between 3.75 seconds and 7.5 seconds and to process a sentence with 8 words between 1.2 seconds and 2.4 seconds.

Utilizing those numbers, Dunn draws the conclusion that images are processed between 8 and 577 times faster than words and rounds it to between 6 and 600 times (source).

To show you the power of images enjoy these RIB jumping shots!

About FOCCHI

“Giampaolo Focchi – Cesistenza Battelli Pneumatici” was founded in Ravenna in 1979. The founder, owner and true soul and driving force of the company is its owner: Giampaolo Focchi.

The origins of the Italian based company are in fact to be found in his studies in engineering, in his passion for the sea and speed and in his Romagna stubbornness, combined with the seafaring air of Ravenna and the city’s tradition in the production of inflatable boats.

What makes Focchi inflatable boats different from all the others on the market is a set of truly unique and essential features.
