The Incredible Fabio Buzzi 42 Sport RIB

For the build of this 13 meter Fabio Buzzi 42 kevlar was also used. One can recognise these RIBs from far due to its typical shape of the high rising bow.

But there’s more to tell than meets the eye.

This technique stores potential energy when it hits a wave and then turns this into kinetic energy when it impacts the water, retrieving 90% of stored energy that would have otherwise been lost.

The Fabio Buzzi 42 Sport RIB can reach incredible speeds on choppy water because of the wave-bouncing technique.
