Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The 40 P1 – the Next Step

Over five days, the team explored the Greek Cyclades using their latest model. They’re excited to unveil the 40 P1, the company’s latest addition to their range.

The 40 P1 Bullet represents the next step in the evolution of the Goldfish 36 P1.

That Rigid Inflatable Boat (RB) is widely recognized for its race-proven performance. It is also noted for its lightweight construction.

The 36 P1 set a high standard with its distinctive hull design and impressive top-end speed. Building on that foundation, the 40 P1 Bullet adopts a modern outboard configuration.

It features refined hydrodynamics aimed at improving overall efficiency. Despite these updates, the focus on performance remains unchanged.

The 40 P1 Bullet retains the aggressive character that defined its predecessor.

It adds a two-cabin layout, offering greater comfort for longer passages.

This RIB reflects the evolving demands of today’s high-performance boating market.

To Kythnos and Training Wave Handling

Over five days, the team explored the Greek Cyclades using their latest model the 40 P1 bullet.

Along the eastbound journey to Kythnos, several handling lessons are given.

It all begins with an introduction to the console and its instruments. Next is a briefing on the basic behavior of the RIB in waves.

Only through extensive wave-handling practice will you truly develop a feel for how your RIB behaves.

This experience is essential for understanding its response across a wide range of sea conditions.

Stepped Hull Explained: Efficiency, Comfort & Top Speed

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Tech-talk by Goldfish: What’s a Stepped Hull

A stepped hull is a specialized hull design engineered to reduce drag, increase speed, and improve ride quality.

In this video, the team at Goldfish explains how stepped hulls work. They discuss why this technology plays a central role in the way they build their boats.

A stepped hull uses raised panels that draw in air to reduce friction and create a lubricating air-cushion effect.

This design improves efficiency by letting water detach and reattach smoothly as the boat moves across each panel.

A low angle of attack lets the hull pierce water cleanly and dissipate forces before they reach passengers.

The boat skims across waves at shallower angles, improving comfort, stability, and speed even in changing sea conditions.

Continuous in-house testing ensures each hull is uniquely engineered for its intended performance. It highlights the need for skilled high-speed operation.
