The Raptor Fusion Marine AC40 Chase RIB
A sleek, state-of-the-art 11meter chase RIB for the Americas Cup 40 was unveiled in Auckland this week.
It was constructed by Auckland based Fusion Marine Boat Builders in Silverdale, New Zealand.
This video showcases the twin stepped hull design and propelled by twin Yamaha 300 hp outboards. This Rigid Inflatable Boat reaches speeds up to 55.2 knots or 102 km/hr.
Tailored to meet the specific demands of the AC40 fleet for upcoming youth and women’s regattas, this RIB meets the rigorous standards which every chase boat must meet.
This video was published on the Boating New Zealand YouTube channel.
