Gemini RIBs for Super Yacht Damen Game Changer
Novi Marine in the Netherlands delivered two Gemini Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) for the impressive super yacht ‘Damen Game Changer’. It was a Gemini WaveRider 880 and a 730. The pictures are from Barcelona, just before the yacht sets off to Barbados.
Hasta la vista, baby!
RIB Jump Photos by Medianaut Slideshow
This time I dug into my RIB archives to share some photos of RIB races. Some of them were published in magazines, others on the world wide web. Funny to see some removed my signature, spending a lot of time in doing so.
These racers know what they do so these RIB Jump Photos by Medianaut are very real!
The equipment I use is Nikon for more than 35 years now. Why not Canon? My father worked already with Nikkormat and gave me my first Nikon decades ago. From then on, it was Nikon all the way and I started Medianaut (nautical photos and news).
Now my youngest daughter Anne is also engaging into photography. I bought her her first Nikon when I was in the States for a photoshoot of the well-known motorboat brand Regal.
She already proved that she also has the right feeling for photographing fast boats. She shot the photo on the top.

The Jar with the Golden Coins
Behold the Jar
We like our RIB. We love our RIB. It’s an essential part of our lives and the passion is … well … let’s call it kinda cosmic.
We would like it in our living room or in a special place where we can watch it at all times, feel the waves again and smell the wind.
As we walk around the engine fumes prickle our brains and yes, we get RIB high. For us it’s a natural high.
Some of us are the lucky ones. They RIB nearly every single day!
We call them ‘the Chosen’.
But when your a newbie and when it comes to finally buying our RIB, you consulted the oracle a hundred times.
The long awaited moment is finally here…
(more…)Gemini Waverider 1060 Cabin Version
Cabin RIBs always get my attention somehow as is with this Gemini Waverider 1060.
A cabin can be located in the lower deck with berts. But that’s not what I’m talking about here.
It’s the cabin Rigid Inflatable Boat that has a mounted and protective console offering space for two or more. Some have berts as well.
The picture must be perfect to hold my attention though. Such a RIB is the Protector 8.5, the Madera Pilot and some other ones.
I in particular like the setup of this Gemini WR 1060.
Adding a cabine however makes it no longer trailerable for me as it surpasses 3.5 metric tons with twin engines.
