Background
Based
on the Stormforce 8.4 and fitted with our innovative Wrap Around
Console with Canopy. The high sided wrap around console is ideal
for safe family passage or for serious offshore ribbing. Combined
with the high level Lexan screen, the Console forms a very safe
and comfortable cocoon. A moulded dash provides plenty of surface
area for mounting all the necessary kit.
The
latest generation of the 8.4 Canopy is based on our 8.4 Expedition
Mouldings. The new model has a higher quality finish, and also
includes the provision for a double berth in the bow with proper
access through the console. This has been achieved by the adoption
of the GRP hardnose, which provides total security in big seas.
Hullform
The
Stormforce 8.4 is a deep V hull form, which is one of the reasons
that this RIB has such fantastic 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.
