SeaFighter Τ30 Mercury Powered RIB

SeaFighter Τ30 Rocks

The SeaFighter T30 RIB stands out, setting a new standard in the 9-meter open category.

Featuring a welcoming and functional deck, it is well-suited for extended journeys and pleasurable excursions.

Specifically designed to meet the demands of navigating the challenging waters of the Aegean, it seamlessly blends high-quality cruising with an appealing design.

The high-performance hull of the SeaFighter T30 aligns with the boat’s aesthetic philosophy.

The deck boasts a sizable central console, an ample WC, cozy seating both at the bow and stern, as well as sun loungers.

Hydrotab’s New Composite 300SR Trim Tabs

New Composite 300SR Trim Tabs Test

This test was performed by our Greeks friends at e-Ribbing with a SeaFighter powered bij twin 350 Suzukis.

The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) maintained a slower speed while resting on the plane, with its bow noticeably lower, all without a significant increase in fuel consumption.

Reducing the new composite 300SR trim tabs by 50%, they observed a 3-second reduction in planning time with minimal bow elevation during takeoff.

Following this, they concentrated on recordings during low cruise speeds, typical for most of a daily travel. Maintaining the engine trim at a constant 40%, they began to experiment with the placement of the vertical 300SR trim tabs.

It became evident that with the trim tabs fully raised, the bow consistently assumed a significantly high position, making it impossible to achieve a satisfactory cruise within the 15 to 25-knot range.

RIBbing for Arctic – Save Our Planet

RIBbing For Arctic: a Magnificent Expedition

Over the past two years, the dedicated team of 6 has tirelessly worked towards realising a remarkable endeavour set to unfold in the summer of 2022.

You may be familiar with e-RIBbing, as I have published numerous RIB tests conducted by them.

This extraordinary journey is predominantly slated within the Arctic Circle, retracing the paths of Vikings and 18th-century explorers who fervently sought the shortest route to the Pacific Ocean.

To delve into specifics, their mission entails navigating the North Atlantic Ocean to reach the western shores of Greenland.

Subsequently, the team aims to undertake the challenging passage through the legendary Northwest Passage—an approximately 5,780-kilometer sea route situated north of Canada and Alaska, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
