The opinion of Loris Bernagaud, boat importer
"The boats are fast, with a sporty step hull that allows them to go fast while reducing fuel consumption - about 15% less than a hull of the same length - and have a nice quality finish. They lift off very quickly, have good handling and sea passage, don't get wet at all and always fall flat.
With the smallest model, the 5.55 m, a speed record was set with a top speed of 39 knots with 70 HP, 2 people on board and a full tank of gas. For the 10 m model with 2x300 HP, the top speed is 70 knots.
These RIBs are not just for speed but can be adapted to any sailing program and are accessible to any boater, without being a pilot."
