RIBbing for Arctic – 1 Unbelievable Trailer

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

An expedition for Arctic

This trailer is beautifully edited with drone footage, great ambient sounds and atmospheric music. The RIB is a Seafighter powered by two 350 Suzukis.

“It’s not just the many miles we had to cover or the long passes we had to cross.

It’s the extreme temperatures we would encounter, the icebergs we had to navigate between, the thick fog that often covers everything in these latitudes and you can’t even see your bow.

The moving sheets of ice that usually cover a large area, are quickly transported by the wind.

The strong magnetic fields render conventional compasses completely useless since their deviation exceeds 50%.”

RIBbing for Artic – Crew and Videos

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

I would like to invite you to checkout the videos of the epic expedition: RIBbing for Artic from our Greek friends. Take some time off and be part of the great team lead by Thomas Panagiotopoulos, a friend of RIBs ONLY.

Meet the crew of this breath-taking adventure using a Suzuki powered Seafighter Y36.

The design of the cabin and its deck was perfectly adapted to their needs, offering a high level of ergonomics and functionality.

RIBbing for Arctic – JOTUN Greensteps

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The expedition “RIBbing for Artic” will start in July until August 2022. The purpose of this mission is to raise awareness of climate change. It really is a huge challenge.

It is not Thomas Panagiotopoulos‘ first adventure. He has a lot of RIB driving experience in many conditions. He also managed the trip from Greece to the Azores, a stretch of 3,500 nautical miles.

RIBs ONLY wishes the team a successful expedition and a safe return.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

In December of 2021, Captain Sergio Davì set out on an impressive 5-month RIB expedition across the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal and up to Los Angeles, California. He left from Palermo, Italy.

His configuration is a twin Suzuki powered Nuova Jolly Prince 38 CC.

During his final stretch up the Mexican Baja and into Ensenada, Mexico, Simrad Yachting caught up with the adventurous Italian to get a glimpse of what life was like on board during this amazing 5-month voyage over 10,000 nautical miles and across two oceans.

Check out his fantastic route below …
