VSR - Very Slender Rib
VSR is a new generation of RIB.
Its planing quality is better than any other boat of its kind.

A very slender, high bow and a waterline with minimum wetted surface are the main and crucial differences in this professional rib.

VSR ribs characteristics and features are the result of many years of water activities experience, especially in sailing and coaching.

All VSR ribs enjoy low fuel consumption because of the fine power to weight ratio that does not require bigger engines that are heavier and use more fuel.

"All those who know and love Australia's traditional wooden boats will be well aware that Tim is the bloke who not only saved Victoria's lovely Couta Boats from oblivion, but also nurtured their revival and eventual re-emergence as one of our most popular traditional wooden boats in Australian waters."
~ Bruce Stannard (Afloat Magazine, August 2010, No. 250)
