During the severe storms Eunice, Dudley and Franklin in February, we offered a test drive to experienced rib drivers in the Rafnar 1100. A Rib (Rigid Inflatable Boat) for professional, harbor, emergency, military and other services related to providing safety at sea.
With strong gusts up to 140 km/h, a Code Red weather alarm was applied for the coastal regions in The Netherlands, and so IJmuiden.
Waves up to about 4 meters high rolled into the IJmuiden harbor from the North Sea. Powered by 3 engines of 350 HP each, the vessel was fiercely put to the test.
