6.0m Twin Outboard D-RHIB Design #134B

6.0m Twin Outboard D-RHIB – Design #134B

This smaller RHIB design has also been built in various configurations for a wide variety of utilisations. What becomes evident is thus how easily metal boat designs can be modified to suit altered criteria and constraints.

#128 was the first version of this 6m D-RHIB design built and operates off the coast of Nova Scotia by the RCMP. #134B is primarily used for patrol/rescue by a regional authority on the inland lakes in British Columbia. #221 is a further modification with deeper deadrise which is utilised in an environmental patrol capacity. As can be seen from the photo’s various Console/Targa top configurations are possible.

Deck space on this vessel is maximised by simply moving the console further forward or aft as needed. Additionally the D-RHIB configuration allows a greater internal beam which adds to the deck area.

Other versions of this design have been built in various parts of Europe. In summary this version of the 6m Open RHIB is another from our growing stable of fast, rugged and seaworthy vessels doing duty in many locations worldwide.
