Research At Rafnar – Noise Level With ÖK Hull

Crew fatigue comes in many forms; with the ÖK hull, we can eliminate a lot of it en route.

However, our mission for unrivalled seaworthiness means that every little bit counts. That is why we make sure to minimise cabin noise levels in all conditions.

Follow one of our Engineers on a noise level check, in some beautiful February weather.

How Rafnar Does Research

At the core of Rafnar is the ÖK Hull. Constant and persistent R&D for over a decade has yielded a hull that has proven what is possible in terms of sea-keeping.

Our pursuit of the perfect hull on tis RIB never stops and incremental improvements are added frequently.

Our newest iteration, the ÖK Hull-2021 includes lists that reduce spray and offer even more stability.

Follow Daniel, one of our engineers on a data-gathering ride. Working at Rafnar means putting in a lot of hours but getting to spend them on a Rafnar at sea, is nothing less than extraordinary.

Rafnar 1100 PRO SAR Rigid Inflatable Boat Tour

Thorsteinn has due to Covid restrictions, not had any guests on board his Rarnar 1100 Pro for the last few months. Even though he can’t show you our boats in person, it turns out that his silky voice, charm and experience translate well through video.

So, take a stroll with him through our newest Rafnar 1100 Pro’s, see the ins and outs of this versatile boat whose DNA is as Icelandic as Thorstein’s lunch today. Which was, like every Thursday, blood pudding, mashed potato’s, and rye bread.

So even though you won’t be ending this walkthrough with his famous bear hug and schnapps, we hope you enjoy this 4-minute video showcasing SAR-team Ársæls new pride and joy.

Next year, we hope to see you here in Iceland the UK or Greece, so those of you that have not tried a Rafnar can see and feel why a boat moulded by one of the worlds roughest oceans is changing the way we think about hull design.
