A Deal Between Giants

I thought this might be of interest to you.

In a major move for the high-performance RIB sector, Mercury Marine and Greek shipyard Technohull have taken significant steps.

They have signed a five-year exclusivity agreement. A major move in the industry.

Effective immediately, Mercury Marine will be the sole outboard engine provider for Technohull’s entire model range.

While we have seen the two brands often together on the water, this contract formalizes their technical partnership.

Key Takeaways

  • Duration: A five-year commitment covering all outboard-powered models.
  • Scope: From tactical tenders to flagship performance RIBs, every new hull will be factory-rigged with Mercury power.
  • The Goal: By standardizing the powertrain, Technohull can further optimize hull balance. They can also enhance digital systems around Mercury’s specific engine weights and SmartCraft technology.

Technohull: Greek Innovation in High-Performance Boats

Visiting the Greek shipyard left a lasting impression after my visit in 2023.

The brand is a leading Greek shipyard known for building high-performance boats with unmatched design, functionality, and innovation.

Performance for Technohull goes beyond speed. Every boat reflects a philosophy where aesthetics, engineering, and craftsmanship merge seamlessly.

The range includes the agile GT7 and the impressive Alpha 50, each designed to exceed expectations in every aspect.

The shipyard covers 7,000 square meters, providing ample space for advanced workshops, precise manufacturing, and meticulous quality control.

Its commitment extends beyond boats. In July 2023, they supported WHYNOT’s underwater cleanup initiative at Lavrio Port.

Certified divers removed debris from the seabed, while volunteers sorted, counted, and documented the collected waste onshore.

Visiting the Technohull shipyard left a lasting impression. after my visit in 2023 and driving the Omega 48 was the cherry on the cake.

Every detail reflects innovation, passion, and dedication to marine excellence.

The company combines visionary design, performance-driven engineering, and environmental responsibility in every vessel they create.

For high-performance yachts or luxury boats in Greece, Technohull represents the perfect blend of innovation, precision, and sustainability.

O.F.S.E. Races 2006 In Greece

Why I Published this Video of O.F.S.E.

It is not my habit to post low-resolution videos. This one is 480p instead of 1080p or 2160p.

I make an exception here because pure RIB races of that size seem almost extinct today.

The video has neither subtitles nor transcript. With AI, however, I was able to create the following text.

If you want to know how I did it, I have described the process below.

The Race Comments

The fourth race by O.F.S.E. of the Greek Offshore Championship took place on 17 September 2006 in Athens. It was organized by the Hellenic RIB Club: O.F.S.E. (Hellenic Inflatable Boats Association, website).

A total of 49 boats participated, setting a new record since the competition began in 1994.

Thoriko Boat Ramp Drone View – Greece

Watch the Thoriko Boat Ramp

This 10-minute drone video captures the process of hauling RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) from the water.

This takes place in a Greek coastal town named Thoriko.

While not action-packed, it offers a calm, detailed look at the operations from above.

The aerial perspective allows you to appreciate the coordination and technique involved, as well as the scenic ramp setting.

I think it’s informative and visually engaging for those interested in maritime logistics or drone footage.

With these RIB you don’t need a ramp: Amphibious designs.
