The Flagship: Williams SportJet 520

Williams is a very well-known British shipyard. Yearly they produce an incredible 1,200 RIBs (video).

The new SportJet 520 has more power, more space and more practicality.

Designed specifically for superyachts, the SportJet 520’s compact dimensions seamlessly integrate into vessels exceeding 30 meters in length.

Propelled by the esteemed Rotax 230 hp engine, it has more than enough power on board.

The SportJet 520 is the flagship of the SportJet line.

SOLAS stands for the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. It is an international maritime treaty that sets minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment, and operation of merchant ships.

The convention ensures that ships flagged by signatory states comply with these standards, which are intended to protect the lives of passengers and crew at sea.

The Williams Composites Story

Williams ‘By Design’ – Composites Explained

Mark Colbourne, the concert manager at Williams Jet Tenders, details their manufacturing process.

It begins with CNC cutting and proceeds through various coating stages, infusion, bonding, trimming, and finishing.

Mark Colbourne, composite manager, notes a trend towards darker colors in recent years. This trend poses challenges in finishing but also offers opportunities for innovation.

British Built Williams Jet Tenders prioritizes sustainability by incorporating recycled materials like P cores made from soft drink bottles.

They also explore future resin systems for fully recyclable boats. I hope they succeed.

Ofcourse there is already DANU™ that is being used and is fully recyclable. It is done by Ultimate Boats.

I’ve posted more Williams videos to inform you.

Proud to share that Ultimate Boats is a Friend of RIBs ONLY.
