Vripack are pleased to present their latest Ribbon 45 SC motor yacht designed for Ribbon Yachts.
Can you close a door by leaving it open? This question captures the essence of the design brief builder Ribbon Yachts gave to the Vripack Design Studio: Create a Rib without having it look like a Rib plus she has to be an ultimate man boat. That is exactly what they have done with the Ribbon 45 SC yacht tender.
Sharp edges, short round corners leading to precise lines and clean surfaces. One can easily imagine the bases of the Ribbon design if you know that the founders of Ribbon Yachts exists of an enthusiastic private aviator and a design perfectionist. Ornaments and decorations are therefore totally foreign to the Ribbon. On the drawing table Vripack has transformed the modern thoughts of the founders into the Ribbon 45 SCyacht: a ship inspired by modern aeronautics and the most agile airplanes in the world.
Like these planes the Ribbon 45 SC yacht has a fully equipped helm and navigation cockpit which is located in the middle of the yacht. The station is fitted out with three Recaro sport bucket seats providing exceptionally firm support around the hip and shoulder areas. A huge windscreen around the entire area provides complete and safe shelter so guests can safely relax and sun-bathe during navigating. The cabin provides unparalleled leg room, huge overhead lockers and a private toilet and shower area.
The typical continuous Rib collar is brutally cut in two pieces which are shifted away from each other. With the forward one placed at deck level it creates a muscled shoulder amidships. The aft collar is placed low at waterline level emphasizing the muscle.
The vacuum injected composite instruction, engineered by Vripack and Contest Yachts, gives the Ribbon 45 SC an extremely stiff structure. Ribbon Yachts proves its expertise in the manufacture of lightweight structures and in working with high-tech composites.
The twin Rolls-Royce water jets powered by Cummins engines are controlled by the vector stick control system providing in state-of-the-art easy docking and maneuverability with very tight turning circles and super fine control in fine quarters.
Please close the doors and cross check, the Ribbon 45 SC tender is ready for take off.
