How to Recover a RIB on a Trailer by Jon Mendez

Recover a RIB on a Trailer: Some Tips

The video provides instructions on how to recover a boat onto its trailer by Jon Mendez of Motor Boat & Yachting.

It emphasizes the importance of maintaining slow speed and control during the process.

Jon suggests aligning the boat straight on the trailer for easier recovery.

There are two options for driving the boat onto the trailer: driving it all the way onto the hitch or leaving a meter of distance and using a winch for the final bit.

Tide levels and proper positioning in the water are crucial factors.

Jon mentions the significance of clear hand signals and ensuring the trailer is in the water enough.

Highfield Patrol 660 Review

Highfield Patrol 660 Spacy Deck

The Rescue Orange boat, commissioned for special events and dive charters, offers the versatility of both a commercial and recreational vessel.

Earlier I published videos of this Highfield Patrol 660.

Despite its commercial design, it can still be a suitable option for families due to its visibility on the horizon.

The lightweight rigid aluminum construction of the boat allows for efficient performance with lower horsepower, saving on fuel costs.

With a length of 6.60 meter it provides ample space for storage and stability when carrying heavy gear.

PB Europe are the exclusive European distributor for the globally renowned high performance Protector RIBs. You’ll find them at Berth VA37 during this year’s Seaworks event in Southampton.

There you can visit the 380 Targa, built by the New Zealand based company Rayglass Boats.

The slideshow below gives you a good idea of other models of the brand.

The Protector 380 Targa showcases a spacious cabin layout, expansive interior, enclosed standing head.

One standout feature of the 380 Targa is its extensive deck space, offering a generous 9.5′ internal beam and convenient walk-around access to the bow.

With a track record of proven operational excellence in extremely challenging waters worldwide, this watercraft serves as a robust platform for a range of commercial applications.

You see them at work amongst others at the Americas Cup, and SailGP.

Despite its respectable 11.50 meter length, the RIB is dwarfed by these majestic speed sailing yachts.

So, contact their Brand Manager, Ian (Andy) Andrews to book an appointment at the show.

I’ve published more videos of Protector RIBs here to admire.
