SPEEDTRIPLE Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Beggers the question,....... "Why", just go out and buy a Riva Aquarama, or one of its lookalikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think it's primary use is as a tender. With super yachts getting so much bigger and having to lie further off especially in the newer fashionable spots in the Adriatic a rib gives a greater degree of safety in the short steep seas that a katabatic will kick up. Close to mountains the Med can go from flat calm to very dangerous in a few minutes. As I know only too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Me thinks, that's more like "an Acceptable Fender" you'd have to be almost 100 % full of water before that would make any difference in flotation. It just stops a very expensive launch being damage by / damaging a very expensive Yacht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
