Do I need insurance for a tender/small RIB?

Posted on 13th August 2009 by admin in rib boats

I’m looking into getting a small 2/4 man RIB (often used as tenders for larger boats) for use inshore near the Isle of Wight (England). Does anybody know if I will need to have insurance on it?

It will have a small (no more than 10HP) outboard on it as well, don’t know if that changes anything?

I can’t really find much information on it, not even in some of the RYA books. Thanks for any help.

As a small boat sailor on the same patch of water as you I can answer this one…

You aren’t REQUIRED to have insurance on your boat, but I’d REALLY recommend that you do have it, even if you just buy third-party only insurance. If your boat goes out of control, the damage even a small boat with a little outboard can do can run into the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

If you are a member of a local sailing or boating club I’d guess that they have a membership requirement that requires you to have insurance. Many marinas insist that boats berthed in them or using any of their facilities (Including slipway) have insurance.

Oh, and having insurance has saved me thousands over the last 25 years.

PS – a 10hp engine on a 2-4 man RIB? Why do you want to underpower your RIB – I’d recommend at least a 50 on a 13′ RIB.

What do you call the two ‘ribs’ along the hull?

Posted on 14th August 2010 by admin in rib boats

ON a river cruiser,you often have 2 external ribs along the boat,on each side of the boat, very close and parallel to the water line. They don’t seem to have any function, and some boats dont have them…HOW do you call lthem?
thanks
thank you, champer!

Rubbing strakes. They’re there to take the wear when you come alongside something, rather than damage the hull itself.

They can also, as an adjunct, keep down spray from the wash.

Not always fitted, but often present when a boat spends its life frequently going alongside quays, wharves, other boats etc.

Is epoxy absolutely necessary to waterproof a plywood boat and how thick should I make the bottom,flat part?

Posted on 19th July 2010 by admin in rib boats

I plan on building a plywood boat and will buy plans.But was wondering about the thickness of the plywood to use and can I just use regular plywood (exterior use type ) instead of marine plywood.And do I have to steam the plywood for bending into shape for the sides as the bottom will be flat?I plan to incorporate the ribs into the seats to cut down on the amount of plywood I use.I plan to use a thicker wood , probably planks or solid pieces of timber for the transom.Also I don’t know if it is worth it to use epoxy for waterproofing the boat.I do plan now to use galvanized,stainless steel, bronze or brass screws.

+ For years plywood boats were just coated with oil based paint. You can bend and screw the plywood to your frame(the better way is to steam it to shape). The plywood should conform if the boat is not too big and you are making a small skiff or row boat. most people use bronze screws but depending on how long you want it to last, you could use others just remember that even stainless steel and galvanized fittings will rust in ocean water or if given enough exposure. If you plan on using an engine the transom will need to be reinforced and braced(even a small outboard).
After your paint dries put the boat on saw horses and fill it with water as a test for both strength and water tightness.
Good Luck, as you can find used boat for pretty cheap this time of year and just improve them, or is it the challenge that you are going for.
The thickness of the wood depends on your size and weight carrying requirements. Marine plywood holds up longer. Be your own judge. Is the boat disposable and for light duty. How many years do you plan on using it?
