Follow the birth of a Rafnar Pro 1100 console from start to finish.
Not just any Rafnar 1100 Professional but one already taking on Iceland’s weather in our vast and unforgiving ocean, crewed by some of our countries toughest people.
A SAR boats console is its mission control, the heart and centre of any operation. Quality, toughness, and ease of use. That is what matters when every second counts.
A day out last winter, RVK forecast was: -7° Celsius and snowing, sunrise at 11:00, sunset at 15:30.
There is nothing quite like the Icelandic winter. Often reminiscent of the Icelandic summer, the choice to live and work here is rarely taken because of our sunny beaches.
Life here has adapted to strong winds, unpredictable weather and the occasional summer snow.
Just like the other inhabitants of this island, Rafnar adapted and made the best out of it.
Necessity is the mother of invention, so through more than a decade of R&D, Rafnar has created a boat that is built for the worst conditions and because of that, is ideal for all conditions.
Wow … congratulations Rafnar Hellas for this great looking Rafnar version. Embracing all inherent features of the established Rafnar search-and-rescue, coast-guard, and naval capabilities, the Rafnar Leisure is the ideal RIB for the leisure and recreation market.
Even though these vessels were designed for the world’s most demanding conditions, they are at the same time perfect for leisure cruising in more hospitable waters.
The ÖK Hull with its drastic reduction in slamming, bouncing, and its essential shock-mitigating qualities, provides the perfect platform for all of the additional comfort and luxury features required for a multi-purpose yacht tender, day cruiser, or stand-alone explorer.
