Crossing the Atlantic

Crossing the Atlantic @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat
10 meter Master RIB

On my bucket list crossing the Atlantic in a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is number one. I was very interested and curious at the same time when an Italian team accepted the challenge in 2017: the Ocean RIB Experience.

Being realistic, I think it will remain on my bucket list.

The brave team successfully crossed the Atlantic in a 10 meter Master RIB with a twin Suzuki 200 configuration. It took 50 days and they were 2. Below you find the route, the distance, used fuel and average consumption.

Welcome!

RIBs Only started out as an enthusiastic, small online forum in 2008 as you can see in the screenshot below. At that time I had to decide to build a website (blog) or a Facebook group.

Many years later, I made the leap and replaced it with this vibrant RIBs ONLY blog that captures my passion and love for Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).

I am so excited to have a platform to finally be able to share my passion and explore new ideas related to all things RIB related in a future oriented way.

Thefacebook

I decided right away to build a strong Facebook community of RIB owners who are passionate about their boat, the sport, the adventures and sharing their knowledge with each other.

Luckily Facebook didn’t look anymore like 4 years before…
