Background The Stormforce 11 is the flagship in our range, and offers the best that RIBs can offer. The 11 was a natural development from the 9.1, due to customer demand for a larger RIB. Puffin Dive Centre in Oban took the first two boats out of the mould for their operations on the West Coast of Scotland. Since then, the 11 has developed and continued to grow in its popularity; every 11m RIB is unique and customised according to the customer's requirements. Click here for the development history ...

Hullform The Stormforce 11 is a deep V hull form, which is one of the reasons that this RIB has such fantasic abilities in rough offshore conditions. The Deep-V hull is combined with sprayrails to produce additional lift and improve the hydrodynamics of the hull. The tube is designed to sit firmly in contact with the water surface while at rest; this ensures that the RIB has maximum stability. One of the major design features is the Hard Nose. This was developed due to several reasons, and has proven itself one of the most successful features on this design after many years in testing. The Hard Nose is primarily a safety feature. When a RIB such as this is driven hard in a large sea state, there is a real risk that detubing could occur. Thus, the nose is designed to offer complete protection to the tubes when operating in these conditions. Furthermore, there are actually two independant tubes on each side of the hull, offering even greater safety. The other features of the hard nose are mainly from a practicality need. The GRP nose offers a much more suitable platform from which to anchor or moor, without any problems with damaging the tubes. It also offers much more internal space; this was incorporated into a large dry storage locker, and in some models facilitates twin berths.
Propulsion The RIB can be powered by any propulsion system including, Twin Sterndrives, Singe or twin outboards, twin waterjets.
Design Features The
stormforce 11 models can be built to include the following features:
Layouts Wrap Around Console Mark I This layout is as the standard warp around console offered to smaller models. It offers good protection to the crew and plenty of dry storage. There is a large anchor locker forward, utilising the full space offered by the hard nose design. Wrap Around Console Mark II The design of the Mark II Console is a modern variation of the very popular Wrap Around Console Mark I with much more internal beam and a cabin forward which accommodates twin berths. This model has it's topsides moulded from bow to stern, which gives a very clean and complete finish. Full GRP Cabin The cabin version is perhaps the ultimate Redbay offshore cruising machine. Fitted with marine grade glass windows, and a full GRP cabin, this RIB makes total sense when out in the roughest of conditions. Therefore it is the ideal for the ultimate in offshore cruising, offering the most protection comfort and safety to all onboard. The full GRP cabin has twin berths forward, with accommodation for up to 12 passengers and two crew in the main cabin. This version can be built with either a cockpit or fully flush after decks.
