Vanclaes trailers has been around for over 10 years and has become one of the leading manufacturer of (boat) trailers.

The company continues to innovate constantly and is presenting a first at Boot Düsseldorf 2023: an independent wheel suspension. They’re the only one in the Netherlands using this system on boat trailers.

In this informative and insightful video, Sybren Kramer goes over Vanclaes’ latest exciting implementation. It is in Dutch but you can use the auto-translater at the lower right in the video screen.

This new system also reduces weight as it no longer requires the traditional axles.

With their impressive loading capacity and robust construction, they prove capable of tackling the task effortlessly.

Finally, this slideshow features the stainless steel Vanclaes trailers, hard at work hauling heavy Rigid Inflatable Boats like amongst others Gemini RIBs.

RIBs Smaller Than 4 Meter 10 Brands with ChatGPT

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

For an article on RIBs smaller than 4 meter worldwide, I thought ChatGPT could be of some assistance. If you’re not familiar with this conversational AI-tool, check out this page.

While the trend in the world of fantastic Rigid Inflatable Boats is leaning towards larger sizes, the “smaller” ones remain necessary, making entry into this world more accessible.

So 4 meter was my parameter number 1.

Will ChatGPT help me to provide a full list of RIBs smaller than 4 meters (great video by the way).

I started with a lot of enthusiasm and ran my query multiple times, adapting it to get the desired result.

I noticed that it was a mix of brands that differed from each other to a lesser extent. So I began to worry about the precision of the ChatGPT neural network even in this stadium.

Only when I pointed out that some information was incorrect did the tool excuse itself and provided more accurate information about RIBs smaller than 4 meter. That was awesome.

So I still had to “correct” the items in the list and added the links myself.

I learned that the formulation of the question must be very clear to get what you want. It’s like working with software developers.

It certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom; I really enjoy(ed) working with ChatGPT, albeit with some nuances in the answers. Privacy, safety, and copyright are certainly things to be aware of!

I really liked being able to have a conversation to delve deeper into the subject matter of RIBs smaller than 4 meter. This concept motivated me to keep going and achieve better results; in contrast to Google, for example.

That said, below is a 10-item list of RIBs smaller than 4 meter of worldwide brands.

I saw something similar some years ago at Boot Düsseldorf.

It is important to carefully calculate the hoist points when using as a tender. It is shown in this video as well.

The custom deck layout focused on maximise storage for luggage and provisions, dive or water sports equipment.
