Description
Redbay Boats STORMFORCE 11m; was for a few years the flagship in the Redbay range. This example was built in 2010 (hull # 065) - and is unique because she is the only one with Volvo engines.
The Stormforce 11 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.
Since the first one the 11 has developed and continued to grow in its popularity; every 11m RIB is unique and customised according to the customer’s requirements.
The Stormforce 11 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.
One of the major design features is the Hard Nose. 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 independent tubes on each side of the hull, offering even greater safety.
