At least that looks vaguely like a rib instead of the usual "hard boat with a permanent fender"!

Looks like I might have to add an inch or so if that is the Worlds largest RIB?

It's not a proper RIB if the fruit stays in the bowl whilst underway.

Saw that, thought the same thing Not a proper RIB unless you struggle when decanting the tea and biscuits on the kit table

It has a tube that goes 80% around the boat and it's distance between the sea and the tube is proportiant with every other Rib on the Market. So with this in mind and going by the RYA rules of what is and what defines a Rib, it is classed as a Rib

Time it has 25000 litres of fuel in the tube will be a lot closer to the water!
