.

The 575 RTB (rigid tube boat) is another one of the designs we identified in South Africa as being a boat for the future.  They are especially designed for beach launch and retrieval through the heavy surf of the Indian Ocean coastline.    Essentially they are a solid speed boat  designed like a rib.   They are manufactured using a deck and hull mould  with a a strong internal chassis.  As a cat the boat gives extra stability and can work in shallower water than the monohull version

The idea behind the design came from South African Sport fishermen  who wanted a boat that could stay afloat in the roughest of conditions and would take the punishment of the kind of equipment they are using for large sport fishing .  This also gave the opportunity to use the sponsons for storage.

There was a need for speed and agility for launch and retrieval through big surf as well as stability when the boat is at station hence the gull wing hull design. 

Thanks to the South African fisherman we now have an all round sports rib that has stunning looks and performance as well as greater storage.

 

 

 

Extra dry storage is one of the benefits of rigid sponsons.    Like our conventional ribs the boat is the platform and can be fitted out with any console and seat arrangement. Including jockey seats
