Eagle 6.7 Tested

Nautic Service tested the Ukrainian built BRIG Eagle 6.7 off La Rochelle, France in calm conditions.

Equipped with a 150 hp Honda outboard, the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) delivered quiet operation and stable handling as observed in the video.

The test model also included an electric windlass with stainless steel anchor and chain. Comes in handy.

The layout features a rear bench with storage. It also has a central console with twin bolster seats.

Additionally, there is a forward bench that doubles as additional storage. An optional sunpad extension at the bow increases lounging space.

Consumption

At 3,000 rpm, the Eagle cruised at 17 knots, consuming 12 l/h.

At full throttle (6,000 rpm), it reached 39 knots with fuel consumption at 50 l/h.

With its straightforward design and solid performance, the Eagle 6.7 offers a means to coastal cruising and day trips.

RIBs Smaller Than 4 Meter 10 Brands with ChatGPT

RIBs Smaller Than 4 Meter 10 Brands with ChatGPT @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat
Can ChatGPT help with listing up RIBs Smaller Than 4 Meter?

For an article on RIBs smaller than 4 meter worldwide, I thought ChatGPT could be of some assistance. If you’re not familiar with this conversational AI-tool, check out this page.

While the trend in the world of fantastic Rigid Inflatable Boats is leaning towards larger sizes, the “smaller” ones remain necessary, making entry into this world more accessible.

So 4 meter was my parameter number 1.

Will ChatGPT help me to provide a full list of RIBs smaller than 4 meters (great video by the way).

I started with a lot of enthusiasm and ran my query multiple times, adapting it to get the desired result.

I noticed that it was a mix of brands that differed from each other to a lesser extent. So I began to worry about the precision of the ChatGPT neural network even in this stadium.

Only when I pointed out that some information was incorrect did the tool excuse itself and provided more accurate information about RIBs smaller than 4 meter. That was awesome.

So I still had to “correct” the items in the list and added the links myself.

I learned that the formulation of the question must be very clear to get what you want. It’s like working with software developers.

It certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom; I really enjoy(ed) working with ChatGPT, albeit with some nuances in the answers. Privacy, safety, and copyright are certainly things to be aware of!

I really liked being able to have a conversation to delve deeper into the subject matter of RIBs smaller than 4 meter. This concept motivated me to keep going and achieve better results; in contrast to Google, for example.

That said, below is a 10-item list of RIBs smaller than 4 meter of worldwide brands.
