Zodiac Hurricane™ ZH-940 Yamaha Powered

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Considered one of the finest RIBs on the planet, the Zodiac Hurricane range are the only boats used by discerning operators who need ruggedness and reliability.

Zodiac Milpro™ has more than 20,000 boats in daily use by over 80 military forces across the globe.

RIBs combine rigidity and speed with the security, stability, comfort and light weight qualities of traditional boats.

True “go anywhere” boats, they provide exceptional marine qualities combining a low centre of gravity to a deep V hull and a stabilizing buoyancy tube.

The patented MACH II (Military Air Channeled Hull II) hull design reduces resistance and enhances directional stability for increased speed, fuel economy and safety.

The hull is the most important part of the RIB.

Zodiac Hurricane™ offers high-speed RIBs since 1982. For more info follow this link.

On board the Zodiac Hurricane ZH-1300 Interceptor Guardia di Finanza, powered with 4 x 425hp outboards, it can reach a top speed of an impressive 60 knots.

The Zodiac Hurricane™ boats are particularly adapted to the mission profiles: safety and security, surveillance missions, boarding, assault, interdiction, pursuit, etc.

Their design is also particularly adapted to ride in difficult sea conditions and to board regularly all kinds of boats, for example for Police control missions, with long-lasting durability RIBs.

The advantages of Zodiac Hurricane™ RIBs to fulfil these missions are:

  • Extreme ruggedness
  • High-performances
  • Directional stability and predictability
  • Large diameter buoyancy tube
  • Ergonomics and custom design for a specific operation

The quadruple outboard petrol engine of this ZH-1300 provides maximum acceleration and maneuverability to meet the requirement of the versatile operations to be fulfilled by the boats.

GEMINI RIBs for Reserves Royal Navy Impresses

Berthon RIB Solutions built six Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats for the Royal Navy Reserve.

The rounded deep ‘V-shaped Gemini hull, heavy-duty collar, and shock mitigating seats offer excellent performance, comfort, and responsive handling at top speeds, especially in heavy seas.

The RIBs are expertly handled by CPO Stead and Lt Stapley-Bunten from HMSCalliope.

Commanding Officer Cdr Chris Bovill said, “this is a significant milestone in delivering maritime capability to the RNR.”

I’ve posted more videos and information of the Gemini brand here on RIBsONLY.com.

Proud to share that GEMINI Marine and novi marine are very good Friends of RIBs ONLY.
