Our new 7.5m RIB design has been certified by the independent body, HPi verification systems, as conforming to the requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD) Design Category B for a crew of 10. The certification process involves testing of stability and buoyancy, shown in this image.
Category B is defined in the RCD as “Offshore: Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including Wind force 8 and significant wave heights up to, and including 4m may be experienced. “ It is the highest design category possible for a RIB and is evidence of the seaworthiness of the vessel.
