On this episode, we captured a recent 6m dual outboard tender project which will be put to work on an expedition sailing yacht.
One of the standout features is the forward-facing WASSP sonar system which will be used when the tender is checking the path is clear in unchartered waters prior to the mothership heading in.
s this tender will be the main tender aboard the sailing yacht it shall be used for an array of other purposes from watersports, the owner taking the helm and general crew services.
This tender is based on reliability, redundancy and versatility.
The people at Ribeye thought they would start 2021 right by taking the ”ALL BLACK’ racing.
“Sales Director, Ross Chivers at the helm and Twin Brother/Operations Director, Danny Chivers acting as navigator.
Running out of Exmouth Seafront the All Black performed beautifully and managed to be first over the finish line and with our lap time being the third most consistent.
A really cool way to showcase the Ribeye Flagship just up the coast from where it is designed and manufactured by the Ribeye team in Dartmouth, UK.
Special credit goes to Exmouth Powerboat & Ski Club for running such a safe and well-organised event during the current climate.
Team Ribeye must also give praise to the Yamaha team whose continued support with our products has allowed us to further enhance our performance of the boats year on year.
Prior to this rally event, we achieved a new refined setup which allowed the All Black to hit 59 knots, which without this top-end capability would have meant we would have been further down the field on New Years Day.”
The versatile RIB Ribeye Outboard SOLAS tender is becoming a very popular choice amongst both new and existing Amels superyachts.
This specific yacht also specified a 7m guest Ribeye tender RIB which boasts luxurious and comfy seating throughout whilst still being a tender that can be used in crew mode when required.
