Advice sought.

Hi salty skippers
I’m considering a RHIB for inshore dinghy coaching.2 adults +4 teens in rescue mode. Must have lockable dry console stowage for first aid and 2xmark tackle(milk crate size.
Launch will be from crane but must be single person capable on dolley.

It will be owned by a parent cohort and likely have variously experienced skippers. It will be handed down and must last 10 years. We are considering a

It needs to be reliable above all and safe.

Our cruising group seem to have settled on highfield as the defacto standard.

What other well supported Australian options are there ?
The brokers seem to have their necessary favourites.

Gemini from South Africa seem to have a decent rep and the hulls are sold by various companies adding there own layout and tubes

XS ribs do some specifically for dingoes and even heard an all electric bot was built for the purpose and displayed at a recent show

We've got some FRP RIBS at the Club but they seem to fare worse or perhaps have lasted longer. They certainly look the worse for wear.


I'll look into these
