Check out this massive Technohull RIB Omega 41 at Brugge Marine Center.
Without a doubt, you can marvel at the impressive Rigid Inflatable Boat hull created by Adam Youngers.
It is constructed with extraordinary precision, and its design is undeniably unique. The sheer size of it leaves one in awe and certainly stands as a testament to Adam Youngers’ amazing engineering skills.

And below a jaw-dropping view of the immense size of the combination in inboard version. The Technohull RIB Omega 41 has been replaced by the Exploerer 40 as a day boat.
Established in 1979, based in Cape Town, South Africa, Gemini Marine has designed and manufactured the most comprehensive range of RIBs and inflatable boats for many of the world’s rescue, military and patrol entities for over many decades.

My Passion for the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB)
I’ve always been fascinated by the Rigid Inflatable Boat. Their form, style, lay-out, toughness, seaworthiness, safety and sportive way of navigating are the unquestionable advantages you’ll rarely find combined in another type of boat.
RIBs Only started out as an enthusiastic, small online forum in 2008 as you can see in the screenshot below. At that time I had to decide to build a website (blog) or a Facebook group.
2008 RIBs ONLY Forum long before the RIBs Only Blog
Many years later, I made the leap and replaced it with this vibrant RIBs ONLY blog that captures my passion and love for Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).
I am so excited to have a platform to finally be able to share my passion and explore new ideas related to all things RIB related in a future oriented way.
I decided right away to build a strong Facebook community of RIB owners who are passionate about their boat, the sport, the adventures and sharing their knowledge with each other.
Luckily Facebook didn’t look anymore like 4 years before…
