Zulu 33P RIB Vacuum Injection Process

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

The Vacuum Infusion Process involves applying vacuum pressure to laminate materials. The process starts with a dry material being laid into the mold where vacuum is then applied before liquid resin is poured in.

Vacuums are created using carefully placed tubing that pulls the resin into the laminate.

This process is being used to build the Zulu 33P Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) by the Sweden Zulu Marine.

Their boats are designed in cooperation with Adam Younger and Petter Martens some of the best designers in the industry and both members of RIBs ONLY.

The reason for sharing this video is to highlight the notable feature of the vented hull on the Soleil 42, which commands attention.

It’s crucial to underscore that the hull represents the most significant aspect of any boat.

It’s Adam Younger’s design, a well-know naval architect and member of RIBs ONLY. He has an amazing palmares.

The credit for this goes to the hull developed through a partnership with the esteemed English specialist, Adam Younger. He’ a naval architect and member of RIBs ONLY.

Widely recognised for his expertise in designing racing hulls, Younger crafted a high-performance double-step hull featuring a straight vertical bow.
