Seasonal Boating? Not at RIBCRAFT!

Here in Massachusetts we have gotten storm after storm almost on a weekly basis since the end of December. So what is the cure for the winter blues? Going boating of course! We build and ship RIBs year round, which means we sea trial them year round as well. This week was no exception, so while it was 19 degrees out we put on our thermals and all of the foul weather gear we could find and headed to the launch ramp. The boat that we were testing performed great and topped out at just over 30 knots! Even though a temperature of 19 degrees while going 30 knots makes for a BITING wind chill, there is still nothing quite like time on the water.

Here is a photo that was taken from the boat looking out at the harbor and the snow covered lawns in the distance.
