Normaly its a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) but u can also say RHIB (rigid hulled inflatable boat

Post by: Captain Davies on February 19, 2008, 19:51:48: But if you think about it 'Rigid Inflatable Boat' is a contradiction. Something can't be rigid and inflatable, something rigid holds its shape on its own, something inflatable holds its shape because of the air inside it. Sorry the whole RIB/RHIB thing is something that's bothered me a while! :D

The hull is rigid. Attached to the "top" of the hull are the inflatable sections. Hence "RIB". The boat doesn't neet the inflatable part to stay afloat (unlike my 2.4m Zodiac).

Think rowing boat with inner tube of a bicycle tyre glued to the top.

Hmmm.....I still prefer RHIB. ;D They're still a part of the boat, and i don't know about you but I wouldn't like to ride in a RHIB that didn't have those inflatable sides.
