Like a lot of advanced developments and technical ideas, rigid inflatable boats were originally intended for the army. But in the peaceful seas boating lovers also needed a reliable, maneuverable compact boat that could carry a significant load at high speed and not scour the wave with its nose after every side wave.
And here it is in front of you - Gibsy E 310 with a rigid GRP hull (fiberglass, from which yachts are made) and a fiberglass V-shaped keel and inflatable sides with a chamber diameter of 42 cm. But what exactly ensures such excellent seaworthiness and reliability of this RIB during coastal boating?
1. Rigid and smooth GRP hull improves gliding, which makes it possible to increase speed, quickly get on plane. This allows you to save fuel and use a smaller engine than boats of the same size.
2. Rigid V-shaped fiberglass keel maintains the selected course, maintains maneuverability and stability at high speeds, cutting through oncoming currents and reducing pressure on the bottom and hull.
3. Inflatable sides with three non-communicating air chambers, together with a floating rigid hull, provide a huge margin of RIB unsinkability.
4. Short draft allows you not to be afraid of shallows and approach the shore closely, taking into account the height of the keel.
The stability and carrying capacity of the Gibsy E 310 is similar to those of a boat, the displacement of which is 1.5-2 times higher.
Inflatable boards will forgive your mistakes when mooring and will allow you to approach other boats and yachts without fear of mutual damage.
If you want an economical, high performance and reliable dinghy for coastal cruising, fishing or a yacht tender usage, buy the RIB Gibsy E 310 with a CE Certificate of Conformity C category.
