Tornado Yachts is not Tornado RIBs
Italian based Tornado Yachts presented its T-RIB 48 at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021.
It is the first model since Daniele Parisi became CEO of Tornado Yachts.
All the advantages of a Rigid Inflatable Boat are present, namely stability, reliability ,and tightness but with the space and comfort of a yacht.
Below decks it’s all amazing( and luxurious thanks to the very high bow, that opened possibilities not seen on other RIBs.
The model though reminds me of another RIB, the Scanner One 999 (video below). See for yourself.
This video was published on the Tornado Yachts YouTube channel. and edited by Struttura Films.
I’ve published more videos of this Italian brand. You can find them here.
