Cool Red Sea RIB Rally Trailer for 2008

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Red Sea RIB Rally

The Red Sea Rib Rally was an breath-taking adventure that in 2007 took place in the Red Sea.

This promo fast-paced trailer for 2008 captures the excitement and thrill of this unique adventure.

The RIB rallies were an event designed for adventure enthusiasts who are passionate about action sports.

Besides RIB racing (Rigid Inflatable Bpat), participants were also challenged in other disciplines like water skiing, running, rock climbing and swimming.

This expected that participants were to be in good physical and mental shape. These rallies ones were perfectly organised by ribevents.com.

I’ve posted more videos of RIB rallies on RIBsONLY.com for you to enjoy!

Single Outboard Joystick Control Demonstration

A Single Outboard Joystick Control System

The Yamaha single outboard joystick control makes boating easier and more fun.

This advanced technology, not new and mainly used on multiple outboard installations, makes the experience of docking much smoother and enjoyable.

The video demonstrates how easy and intuitive boat manoeuvring at low speeds can be with this system.

Thanks to this joystick, the captain can easily change the boat’s direction and speed with ease. This eliminates the need for extensive steering systems and makes docking even in challenging weather simpler.

It is suitable for both experienced and novice boaters making it more accessible to more people.

Pros and Cons

I know that many RIBbers swear by pure manoeuvring with the throttle and wheel and therefore don’t like this system very much.

It comes down to practicing the right skills. Some say it’s even useless with a single outboard installation.

For newcomers however who can afford this expensive “accessory”, it is a pleasant and easier way to dock.

But make no mistake, it needs a lot of practicing as well to build experience in different weather and water conditions.

This single outboard joystick control is not a panacea.

Here’s a short video of a captain demonstrating the joystick system on a twin Suzuki installation outboard and in this video you get an excellent drone view on docking with that system.

Walking through this Ribeye 9.8 m Technical Director Rudie takes us along on a virtual tour of the building process of this custom superyacht tender.

This bespoke tender has been meticulously crafted for use alongside a 100 m+ Lurssen Yacht for guest boarding, provision runs and leisure activities.

This tender is a good solution for transporting guests to and from the beach or shore. This RIB model comes with custom boarding solutions like a retractable beach landing system.

It is important to carefully calculate the hoist points when using as a tender. It is shown in this video as well.

The custom deck layout focused on maximise storage for luggage and provisions, dive or water sports equipment.
