This Time a Highfield Patrol 420 Walkthrough
A month ago I’ve publisheda a blog post of Antoine Albeau how he uses this Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).
This time he provides an detailed overview of the Patrol 420.
My 6 Takeaways
The Patrol has an aluminum hull and is the smallest in the Patrol range.
This boat is equipped with over-engineered tow bars front and back.
At the helm there is a two-seat console with a cushioned backrest. There is room to stow away things you need.
Of course like many RIBs this one has extra-long non-slip deck pads, large handles and ropes for easy beaching a.o.
The deep V aluminum hull has a deadrise of a modest 20°.
It’s a compact RIB, also great to use as a tender.
Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
