Ribeye Ribs

[Seastoke]

I was talking to a guy who was testing one of a pair nine metre inboard . It was heading out to a super yacht with its twin to Singapore . What impressed me was that they tested the ribs for 35hrs at sea before sending onto clients. How long do the top boat bands test their craft.

The only "top boat bands" that spring to mind are:-

Dire Straights
The Drifters
Beach Boys
The Coasters

35 hrs seem a very long time for testing a relatively simple boat

They had a party that they needed a boat to get to?

Ribeye are excellent machines - best in their class imho. We (my brother and I) have a pair of their prime 821s with Yam 300s.
35 hours seems a lot. i suspect there must have been technical tweaks needed and then a new trial or 2. I would expect more like 3-8 hours on an inboard boat, and 2 hours with new outboards. My Sanlorenzo - much more complex obviously - had 27 hours when I collected it new earlier this year.

You can imagine the phone call between RIB staff & office one sunny afternoon.
"Where the f..k are you? You should have been back ages ago"
"Sorry boss but it seems to need a bit more tweeking. You did say we are to get it right"

I had a Ribeye Tender on my Azimut 39. I always found any communications with Ribeye to be first class. They really care about their products, customers and staff. Hence they deserve to succeed. I can't comment on test and shakedown time, but 35 seems a factor of 10 out?

 

[Seastoke]

Well I have watch them go out to sea every day this week and now taking them out of the water.

 

[Seastoke]

They are on the way to Singapore.

One had a v8 Yanmar and one had a straight 6.

 

[stelican]

Did they have fishing lines with them.
How is the food festival by the way.

 

[oldbloke]

They have made to measure as well as the off the peg boats. I believe that the made to measure need CE assessing.
