Highfield’s Impressive Flagship Sport 900

The Flagship Sport 900

It’s big, it’s spacious, it’s comfortable, it’s the HIghfield Sport 900 ! (another video here).

The aluminum construction of the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) makes for a durable frame and hull.

The hull of this flagship, which is based on that of the famous Patrol 860, was redesigned.

Petter Martens made these changes to offer stability and performance as expected.

The RIB keeps these features up to a speed of 60 knots.

It can be motorized with a max engine power of 425 hp when using a single engine. For twin engines, the maximum is 300 hp per engine.

This video was published on the Semi-rigides Highfield France YouTube channel

Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

Great Quote I Found in our Facebook Group

Great Quote I Found in our Facebook Group @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat
Great quote

I encountered this incredible quote in our Facebook group in a post about the Swedish RIB-built by Zulu Marine AB. This quote was shared on January 20, 2022:

The designer patted my tube and said: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad hulls. Go out there!”

And that designer is none other than the amazing Petter Martens, member of RIBs ONLY! Petter made the conversion to a RIB based on the enormously capable Adam Younger‘s hull design and running surfaces. Adam is also member of RIBs ONLY!

The collaboration between these two very successful designers reached its peak in this impressive ZULU RIB.
