Hugo Andreae of Motor Boat & Yachting presents a captivating boat tour of this Italian-built Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), the ZAR 95 SL.
In addition to incorporating a larger GRP bow at the tube’s termination for increased space, the deep V hull features a broad downward-facing chine, effectively directing water away.
The updated model includes a compact cabin below deck, complete with a well-appointed head compartment.
The deck layout of the new model is done by Carlos Vidal en the hull is designed by Francesco Ambrosini. The Italian shipyard build it.
The video showcases this RIB in detail.
In this test the maxi Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) planed at 11 knots and reached a maximum speed of 48 knots with twin A350 Mercury Verados on Lago Maggiore, Italy.
On 9 February 2023, members of the Club del Gommone held a winter RIB run on the beautiful Lake Como in Italy to open the season.
This 52nd edition of the Invernale started this year from Vercurago at the Cantiere Bolis on Lake Garlate.
After leaving the boatyard, the group sailed north to exit Lake Garlate and, after a short stretch of the River Adda, entered Lake Como just in front of the city of Lecco.
From there, they went up the lake for about fifteen miles, passing Abbadia Lariana, Mandello, and heading for Punta Spartivento di Bellagio, recognizable by the cliff that separates the lake into two branches.
Near the cliff, as is tradition, they toasted with an auspicious aperitif to start the season.
“Invernale 2023 Club del Gommone”
After the aperitif in the water, they returned to Vercurago (around 14:00-14:30) for an additional aperitif, which by then will have become a snack, at the Bar Restaurant ‘Il Molo’ opposite the boatyard for the 2022 edition.
There was no participation fee.
As a good organiser some agreements were made:
On Lake Garlate, you may not exceed a speed of 10 knots.
Under the bridges along the stretch of river connecting the two lakes, you must not exceed 5 knots
