R.I.B-LINE 4.3 R

Safety ...

... is custom-made! Our compact tourer is the latest accomplishment of our ribline boatyard. The enlarged GRP hull and the distinct “groove” along its keel line let you take extended rough water trips even by using a boat as long or short as this. The huge air volume of the tubes and the inserted floor gives the boat vast reserve buoyancy. The 4.3 R is superior to any plastic-made or inflatable hybrid boats just in view of its length class. The air volume in the bow tube improves the hull’s wave cutting (no undercutting of waves), thus allowing the leisure skipper a safe return to their home port even at high swell conditions.
Business customers living on the North and Baltic Sea (such as coast guards, water rescue services and customs) approve of these features.

The boat has a maximum standard length of 4.3m (reduction to 4.0m is possible on request) and a beam of 1.95m. These are the maximum measurements for a boat which is meant to be given shelter in a standard size car garage. The overall length required is not more than 4.8m inclusive of the trailer and the engine. As the total weight is so low, you may use an unbraked trailer which makes it possible for you to slip in salt water without being afraid of damaging the trailer. But for all that, the 4.3R is a fully-fledged touring inflatable boat with large storage space. Victuals as well as equipment can be stored in the bow or stern stowage box. At large, the 4.3R is boat which meets all requirements. It’s the customer’s choice to have the 4.3R fitted with a GRP or an Inox control panel.
