Ribworker Jet Boats Awesome Precision Manoeuvring

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Impressive Ribworker’s show

Shaun White, who designed the Ribworkers (and is driving the yellow RIB), was asked to play around and demonstrate what makes these boats so unique: awesomely tough workboats, precision manoeuvring but also fast and fun (see the end bit).

These RIBs are capable of power-braking or spinning on their axis – slowly for precision manoeuvring even at high revs, faster for jet boat spins for exciting passenger trips.

The first boat, built 37 years ago, is still working as a salvage and rescue vessel.

This video, shot some years ago, shows a display: all water users were warned to keep clear and that they would get wet and both RIB skippers were highly experienced.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This Williams 565 dieseljet tender RIB holds nine passengers which can luxuriate in glorious comfort, whether you’re planing nimbly over the waves or slipping gracefully into harbour.

This is the older version just to show what metamorphosis this model has undergone.

This RIB is available with either a 150 hp or 195 hp engine. You will never be short of power.

DieselJet 445 – Williams Jet Tenders

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This Williams dieseljet tender was completely redesigned. The new helm puts you in total control with a centrally mounted Raymarine display.

Large bathing platforms and extra grab handles mean getting on and off is quicker too. What’s more, this RIB has slash-cut tubes, giving it a sleek new look.
