About the Enigma Hull Tech and Style

Earlier, I’ve written about this British built super RIB Enigma here on RIBsONLY.com but this article is more focused on the R&D (Research and Development).

Deep V-Hulls have always suited high-performance craft.

The hydrodynamic airflow through steps along the hull draws air under the boat. This creates the bubble effect that assists easier ride flow.

At Enigma Powerboats, founder Debbie Hood and her team have taken that technology to the next level.

Through years of endurance race-proven testing, Enigma has developed outstanding expertise.

Their passion for transferring supercar streamlining technology and design style to the super RIB market drives their innovation.

Enigma is proud to provide the safest, most comfortable, and easiest-to-handle high-quality built Super RIB to the market.

In addition, each build is tailored to the client’s specific sea environment, weather, and heat.

The team ensures every part of Enigma is hand-built for longevity in that environment.

The Enigma Powerboat Rocks!

The Intriguing Enigma Powerboat

Do you know that persistent itchy feeling that won’t go away?

That’s how I felt when I first saw the renderings, images, and later the videos, of this British-built RIB Enigma powerboat.

I was completely overwhelmed. I’ve seen many RIBs in the past and have been impressed by several brands known for their excellent engineering.

The RIB looks slick, fast, and capable. The flagship model at this moment is the Enigma 38 Open Leisure. It’s a CAT B Offshore.

The hull design with a triple ventilated step was created by naval architect Adam Younger and Petter Martens of Beserk Designs also joined the team for delivering a great looking and functional RIB design.

Both are members of the RIBs ONLY community.

How I would love to get my hands on this powerboat.

Now, I finally have a compelling reason to renew my passport (since the UK is no longer in the EU).

It’s a stunning example of pure British craftsmanship, for which I have the utmost respect.

This is not the first post of this brand. You can find more about it here amongst others the specs!
