Looks fairly functional.

Whitmarsh R7 RIB
I guess you know Whitmarsh RIBs and their superyacht tenders.
I came across the RS7 whose hull was designed by Adam Younger, a member of RIBs ONLY. Really looking sharp!
You can checkout the specs of this RIB here.
And if you’re eager to see its bigger brother, the RS 11, be impressed by the photo below.
