Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The Humber RIB Invictus by the Pembrokeshire based (UK) Quinquari is something else.

It is a high-performance Rigid Inflatable Boat designed for speed and agility. The boat has a sleek design and powerful engine, noting its ability to reach speeds of up to 65 knots.

The video also highlights several key features, including the deep-V hull, which provides stability and smooth handling, and the state-of-the-art navigation system, which includes GPS and a touch-screen display.

What drew my attention of this Offshore Racing RIB Invictus is the adjustable shock mitigation cabin system.

You see the RIB in action, slicing through the water at high speeds and navigating sharp turns with ease.

I’ve got some more Humber videos for you to enjoy!

RIB Drop Test RIBCRAFT 30′ Profound

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

I’m always impressed by seeing this drop test RIBCRAFT 30′ and certainly with larger RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) like this 9 meter one.

The video demonstrates the durability of their Rigid Inflatable Boats by dropping them from a height of about 20 feet onto the water.

The boats are dropped in various orientations, flat, bow first en then stern first, to simulate severe conditions.

Despite the extreme impact, the Drop Test RIBCRAFT 30′ proofs that the Rigid Inflatable Boat remains intact and seaworthy, demonstrating the strength and resilience of RIBCRAFT’s RIBs.

This test revealed that the boat is still fully operational and undamaged.

Route du Rhum Sublime Zodiac Pro Open 650 & 750

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

For the Route du Rhum, a memorable event, the French well-known Zodiac company crafted an exceptional collection of sixteen Pro Open 650 and four Pro 750 RIBs.

These Rigid Inflatable Boats were utilised effectively to safeguard the starting area.

In partnership with Suzuki Marine (an official partner of the event), the Pro Open 650s are equipped with white TGX 150hp outboard engines. They came turnkey with a Nautilus trailer, a GPS unit, and safety equipment.

The Zodiac Pro 750s are almost identical in design, however there is one key difference. One is powered by a robust and reliable Suzuki 250hp APX engine and boasts a more advanced GPS unit with enhanced capabilities to provide the ultimate navigation experience.

I published another version of the Open 650 should you be interested.

These special editions of ‘collectors’ items have been selling unbelievably fast! Unless they are taken off the shelves, many Route du Rhum models were sold before the boat show by various dealers.
