New 12m RIB

Adam Younger · 18 March 2009, 14:46

A recent design of ours for a 12m RIB is progressing well with Watermark Marine. Conceived as a RIB capable of fast offshore cruising - we have combined a quick hull with excellent sea keeping abilities. A double chine hull form, giving good beams togther with performance, deep V sections with lots of bow recovery etc.

A number of lay-outs and engine / drive options have been considered - covering uses from a full-on cabin RIB through to open working RIBs.

Attached are a couple of images of the hull plug being constructed.

Please contact me for any further details.

Will do - in the meantime I will sort out a few images of different lay-outs.

Nice project Adam

who is making your tube and what is the diameter. Will it be a tapered tube for the open rib as well.

Thanks Andre - actually all being built in China! Tubes as well. I will have to check on the tube dias as it was some time ago when I actually designed her. Certainly was some taper - but not too drastic.

Also just finished a 12m stepped hull RIB design as a fast patrol boat - which is 'meant' to be going into production soon. That has a tube diametre of 600mm tapering down to 320mm. Although other versions may need different tube geometry.
