ALUMARINE 12.0 Z BOW RIB  

12m Z Bow RIB with 2 Stage Stepped Hull - Alumarine's signature "Z bows" when used on a planning hull like the new RIBs, the "Z bow" allows the builder/designer to fine up the vessel's entry to provide a smoother ride without sacrificing the necessary volume forward to ensure a safe ride. The stepped hull as seen on Chris Tucker Marine Design vessels as small as 6.1m has similar benefits, it allows the boat to perform like a wide flat bottom vessel while still maintaining higher than average deadrise resulting in a soft fast efficient ride. This vessel is a viable option for Adventure Tourism operators as buoyancy collars allow the use of lower freeboard making the boats more cost effective to run while also offering the additional thrill to the passenger of being closer to the water. The use of the custom segmented encapsulated foam fenders on the CTMD/Alumarine version of this style of boat means that boarding door locations and styles can be easily tailored to suit the end needs of the user. If necessary in the event of the boat changing hands, modified or moved without the need to replace the entire fender. Making the boat future proof or easier to sell if the operator's needs should change. For more information call Nev on 0439744308
