Roughneck RIB Slideshow – Tender to a Blue Super Yacht

Medianaut @ work by Anne Overlaet — Medianaut @ work – Photo by Anne Overlaet

The Roughneck RIB is build in the North of The Netherlands. This Rigid Inflatable Boat is a special and unique version. The owner wanted it to be in the same colour as his super yacht. It is a tender.

My client wanted to stress the link with The Netherlands as you can see in this photo shoot I did.

My point of view. The water was too calm, no wind, no waves, cloudly, a veiled sun … So I had to be creative. Here’s the result. Click on the image to enlarge.

RIB Jump Photos by Medianaut Slideshow

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

This time I dug into my RIB archives to share some photos of RIB races. Some of them were published in magazines, others on the world wide web. Funny to see some removed my signature, spending a lot of time in doing so.

These racers know what they do so these RIB Jump Photos by Medianaut are very real!

The equipment I use is Nikon for more than 35 years now. Why not Canon? My father worked already with Nikkormat and gave me my first Nikon decades ago. From then on, it was Nikon all the way and I started Medianaut (nautical photos and news).

Now my youngest daughter Anne is also engaging into photography. I bought her her first Nikon when I was in the States for a photoshoot of the well-known motorboat brand Regal.

She already proved that she also has the right feeling for photographing fast boats. She shot the photo on the top.

RIB Race Terneuzen 2017 Netherlands Slideshow

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

I attended the RIB Race Terneuzen September 2017 on the river Scheldt.

Flat surface, now wind, no waves except the ones from a passing cargo ship. These waves made it possible to shoot some action pics.

Roughneck 636 VFI Leasure Mods Slideshow

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Some RIB owners like to modify or improve their boat like this Roughneck 636.

These are photos of my friend Pascale, proud owner of a Roughneck 636 VFI Leisure from 2009. The engine is a Mercury Fourstroke 150 hp from 2012.

His mods are installing two mitigating seats, a larger fuel tank (80 to 120 l), refurbishing the seat in the back and made it more convenient to open and close it with 2 gas pumps.
