Highfield Sport 800: Speed and Efficiency Combined

The Sport 800 RIB Boat form Highfield Boats stands out for its solid construction and sleek design.

It reached speeds over 45 knots, delivering nearly 3 miles per gallon—efficiency uncommon for boats of this size.

Key features include two swim platforms, swim ladders, a cockpit table with dedicated storage, and a drawer-style refrigerator.

Its deep V-hull makes it both sturdy and lightweight.

At 1,600 kg with twin 150 Mercury engines, it’s about half the weight of similarly sized fiberglass boats.

With flexible seating options, there’s ample room for friends and family to join.

The front and rear sun decks provide the perfect spot for relaxation, while your picnic stays chilled in the onboard fridge.

Added touches like the anchor winch and a T-Top featuring built-in storage, speakers, and LED lighting are very valuable additions for this Highfield Sport 800.

This Time a Highfield Patrol 420 Walkthrough

A month ago I’ve publisheda a blog post of Antoine Albeau how he uses this Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).

This time he provides an detailed overview of the Patrol 420.

My 6 Takeaways

The Patrol has an aluminium hull and is the smallest in the Patrol range.

This boat is equipped with over-engineered tow bars front and back.

At the helm there is a two-seat console with a cushioned backrest. There is a bit of room to stow away things you need.

Of course like many RIBs this one has extra-long non-slip deck pads, large handles and ropes for easy beaching a.o.

The deep V aluminum hull has a deadrise of a modest 20°.

It’s a compact RIB, also great to use as a tender.
