EMBLA: Tough 'workhorse' RIB based on innovative OK Hull formula

摘要

Embla represents the debutante in Icelandic boatyard Rafnar's Leiftur 1100 Cabin Explorer RIB class, developed to achieve and maintain high operational speeds in the roughest of environments. Indeed, the 11.1m RIB's l,307nm maiden voyage from Iceland to Gothenburg, Sweden, which took place in May 2016, saw her take all the North Atlantic had to throw at her in terms of wind, rain and even an outboard-wrecking log. However, a minor repair aside, Embla and her six-man complement made it to Sweden unscathed, justifying the Leiftur 1100 Cabin Explorer RIB's reputation as the 'workhorse' of the Rafnar range.
