The HEDIA RIB is a happy coming-together of the inflatable hull’s inherent stability and the aluminum hull’s hydrodynamic efficiency. At rest, the tubes running around the perimeter give superb stability and safety, even in quite small variants. The air-filled tubes have a remarkable amount of buoyancy and even if the boat is swamped it remains afloat and sheds the water through its self-bailing hull’s scuppers.

First and foremost it has an aluminium hull rather than a GRP one. As well as being usefully lighter than most of its 3-5m competitors, this also means it’s robust and easy to repair. Then there’s its unusually deep-vee hull design, boasting a knife-like 24° deadrise at the transom for cutting through the waves.

I must say, the rib boats from Hedia company are absolutely fantastic! The Achilles rubber tubes are top quality. Although there are a few minor upgrades needed in terms of finishing the aluminum hull, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and happy to have dealt with Kerry, the seller. In fact, I am already planning to place another order with Hedia for my future boating needs.
