Flanders Offshore Racing Team – Quentin Deraedt en Julie Labeeuw
The Flanders Offshore Racing Team is back in 2022 with a new young team full of passion and drive: co-pilot Julie Labeeuw and pilot Quentin Deraedt. Teamleader is the well-known RIB racer guru Kris Deraedt.
These photos show the hull, the engine and the set-up. In this video a drone filmed the Technohull Seadrug 688 in action and I presented the team in this blog post.
Flanders Offshore Racing Team will be racing in the Technohull Seadrug 688. It is one of the fastest RIBs in its class. Technohull is known for their leading innovation in the luxury boat industry.
With the 688 they made one of the most agile boats that exist. However this 688 is one of 2 race boats they have ever made. This one specifically was specially built for the 24 hours of Sint-Petersburg.
This is also the only boat that was made with epoxy instead of polyester, hand crafted deck. What this means is that this is a one of build raceboat.
The Technohull R&D team met the challenge with a hull designed from scratch, that sets new standards offering absolute control at speeds beyond limits. The 38 Grand Sport marked 103 knots and the rest is not history but just another vision that turned into reality.
We have a lot of Technohull videos on RIBs ONLY: check them out.
The 38 Grand Sport with its TECHNOHULL®’s Dynastream patented hull technology that provides maximum stability, the 38 Grand Sport is a great RIB to take a family on a fishing or boating trip, or even to go water skiing.
Speed is a big feature of the 38 Grand Sport RIB with its ability to reach speeds that few other boats have been able to achieve.
Poised by design to exceed any limits, she is able to deliver speeds of up to 100 knots in complete control and great stability.
This 7,000-pound speed machine is powered by three Mercury 450R SM outboard engines, which collectively produce a whopping 1,350 hp. This makes the Super Fast more like a race boat than a leisurely limousine.
Designed with balance and efficiency in mind, the Technohull RIB can handle any weather condition that her drivers throw at her.
With an extremely seaworthy design, she will not fail to impress even the most discerning of buyers.
With a smooth ride and the ability to hit top speeds with ease, she is the perfect vessel for any extreme driver or or speed pursuer.
