How do I want to use the RIB boat?

RIB is a boat that is often recognized for its sporty sailing characteristics and excellent handling in demanding weather conditions.

RIB is most often used in good weather, since most of the boat is located outside, it is a good idea to check that all cushions are stowed. Some RIB boats also have a superstructure, roof, awning that allows use even when external conditions are not the most favorable.

For what purpose do I want to use the RIB boat?

If you are looking for a boat with less chance of damage in port and landing or less maintenance, a RIB is usually a good choice.

There is less chance of damaging the gelcoat when sailing a RIB, and the tubes of such boats require less maintenance than a regular fiberglass boat. It also gives you a little more flexibility when entering busy and crowded ports, with a softer hull for added protection.

Main features of the Nordkapp RIB shape?

A RIB (rigid inflatable boat) is a type of boat designed for practicality and good sailing qualities. This has made it one of the most popular types of boats as an addition to holiday homes and for transport purposes. A RIB is usually designed with open spaces on the deck for luggage and passengers.

Regardless of the choice, Nordkapp RIB boats often reach speeds of over 50 knots. The low side silhouette and tube design give different sailing characteristics than boats with a center console. Especially at higher speeds. A RIB will therefore be a very stable type of boat at higher speeds due to the contact point with the tubes and the water.
