Ultimate Boats Police Trials
Motorboat and Yachting editor Hugo Andreae tested the speed of the 650 hp Police RIB by Ultimate Boats at the 2022 Seawork Boat Show. It was the first one built.
I had the opportunity to test an Ultimate Boats creation in Scotland like the one in the video. I never experienced anything like it before.
But there is so much to it than meets the eye…
DANU™ Composite is the Future
It is a special RIB in terms of materials used which is a huge step forward in recycling and with corporate responsibility in mind.
It was namely built using the revolutionary DANU™, a breakthrough composite material of exceptional strength capable of being recovered, recycled (90+%) and reused repeatedly.
The material is accelerating the green transition to circularity for composite material used in maritime craft, ballistic resistance, wind turbine blades, automotive solutions, aircraft construction, food processing etc.
Truly a jaw-dropping invention!
Hull
John Moxham, who was onboard and tells you all about the high-performance hull system he designed for Ultimate Boats. Very interesting.
John passed away in January 2025.
