JPRIBS will release their latest Custom 960 RIB at Auckland On Water Show.
Combining a slick finish and high-spec technology with care and attention comes through hand moulding by craftsmen with an impeccable pedigree. JP RIBS offer a bespoke solution for tenders and RIBS that are designed and customised to meet the client’s
and crew’s requirements.
A Custom 960 is currently under construction and will be unveiled at the Auckland On Water show in March next year. Measuring 9.56 LOA, 8m LOH, and with a beam of 3.57m, the Custom 960 is constructed of GRP, using a mix of Th vinyl ester gelcoat finish and laminated with E-glass fabrics and mats with a vinylester resin system.
Displacement is around 3.1 tonnes. With a single Mercury 600hp V12, top speed is expected to be around 45 knots, with a cruise of 25-30 knots. The deep 23 deg hull is wrapped with seven chamber Hypalon tubes. A large cockpit is available with various seating layouts, custom helm seats and carbon T Top.
There is a large central galley and forward cabin with a double berth and separate bathroom. Again, the layout is very much the owner’s choice. Access forward is via tube-level walkaround on either side of the enclosed wheelhouse.
