This world famous publication is deservedly considered a classic and must-have one for anyone involved in boat building as well as the boat owners. The RIB, standing for the Rigid Inflatable Boat, was first introduced nearly sixty years ago. Its appearance did revolutionize the marine market of that time.
The RIB Manual was released in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first rigid inflatable boat and will serve as an excellent reference tool covering literally all important aspects of RIB design, their handling and routine maintenance. The author has arranged the material emphasizing the practical part.
The book starts with some historical overview including development of the RIBs design. Note that the book covers both leisure and commercial boats. The second part of the publication is devoted to the boat handling including impact of boat hull design, cruising and driving techniques, launching and transportation of these boats, and of course safety and survival issues.
The third part is dealing with the boat maintenance and will be equally important to everyone regardless of the boat type. In short, this is one of the best reference books on boat handling and maintenance available today.
