Is the SuperRib Open 27 the Future?

SuperRib Open 27 Rather Innovative?

The video is again a job well done!

But I’m going to be honest. Whenever I read such a statement, in this case the “RIB of the future?”, I am more sceptical than usual.

Maybe you feel that way too because what is the future and how do you predict it?

Perhaps it’s a somewhat unfortunate choice of words and probably one to name as a differentiator from the competition for this SuperRIB Open 27.

I prefer to stick to “innovative” like, for instance, the new Mercury 600 V12.

I recently had the opportunity to experience this technology on a twin installation on a massive Technohull Omega 47. It’s really something else. More on that in a forthcoming article.

Thrilling Man Overboard During RIB Rally Ibiza 2013

Man Overboard

This video provides a glimpse into a Rigid Inflatable race that took place in Ibiza, Spain, back in 2013, organised by Sijbrand Booij at ribrally.com.

The video brings attention to RIB Rally, a thrilling event that involves powerboats racing around the island!

The video captures a remarkable race as one of its crew members falls overboard in a blink of an eye, but the skipper quickly springs into action and manages to safely rescue him before continuing on with the race.

Powerboat racing is an extreme sport that requires lots of thrill & excitement; and this video beautifully captures the same. It also emphasizes on the importance of safety protocols and team collaboration for a successful race.

More videos of RIB rallies to enjoy.

The video was published on the Rene van Manen Storm Visual Solutions YouTube channel.
