This event took place on June 11th 2022 under the sun of Saint-Tropez, South-East of France.
Several RIBs and their owners were present at this not-to-be-missed Zodiac Club event.
It was the opportunity for the dedicated owners to live unforgettable experiences on the Mediterranean Sea.
Chief Innovations Officer at ExoTechnologies Jeroen Wats spoke to Manx Radio about their composite DANU™’s circular properties. Sit back and be amazed by this amazing invention that changes the world!
It’s breakthrough composite material of exceptional strength capable of being recovered, recycled and reused repeatedly. It is used by Ultimate Boats (check their awesome RIBs).
Well done, Jeroen!

Proud to share that Ultimate Boats is a Friend of RIBs ONLY.
Honestly I knew them only mostly for small, regular RIBs en tenders. But boy, was I wrong when I came across this video…
Apex Boats has a plant in wonderful* Costa Rica. It’s located in La Guacima, with a space of 4,000 m2 with an indoor 2,000 m2 infrastructure and very high ceilings for ventilation.
Take a look inside their shipyard. The RIB with the red front tubes at 01:03 and the one with the blue top are quite impressive amongst all the smaller ones.
*This place is recognized by National Geographic, as the second best climate in the world (altitude and dry microclimate combination gives us a relatively low humidity), atmospheric pressure compresses the remaining moisture in the soil, for working at less than 75% moisture, which is essential for the bonding process.
Do you know which five-letter word could save your life? Float.
When fishermen Dave and Brian fell into the water by a wave that hit the boat from behind, this five-letter word helped save their lives.
And this is why you and all your passengers always should wear lifejackets to help you and them to keep afloat.
I want to express my absolute respect for the RNLI that went out that night to save both men and getting them home alive.
At the recent South Coast Boat Show, Motor Boat & Yachting editor Hugo Andreae took a test drive of the RS Pulse 63, the first electric RIB he’s been aboard.
Should you be interested, I’ve posted earlier news about the RS Pulse 63 with a view on the battery storage.
The video in this post shows the actual drive and experiences.
