General information about Tornado RIB

In our opinion, Tornado is simply a cool RIB. The Norwegian magazine Båtmagasinet has, with good reason, claimed that a Tornado really withstands rough use and may be left outside in all kinds of weather. And best of all – you may customise your own boat.

Tornado is a type of RIB which will appeal primarily to those who are looking for a cool RIB. The hulls are extremely sturdy, with a deep V hull and an arched, sheer bow. This prevents rough seas flooding the boat and if you are driving with the wind behind you, you simply drive hard through the next wave! The tube material is Polyurethane – one of the most durable there is. This material is welded together and the interior of the boat is moulded into the boat and will thus not shake loose. Your body will not be shaken either, a Tornado runs smoothly in the water!
Tornado RIBs are available in several colours: Blue, red, orange, yellow, grey, white and black. The concept of hand made Tornado boats means superior quality, excellent seafaring properties, and ability  to withstand rugged sea.  At the same time, it is a craft that is quick, safe and simple to navigate.

This, in addition to the fact that it has a greater capacity and a longer lifespan than our competitors' RIBs in this class, makes Tornado the type of craft you really want to own. A test ride will easily convince you!

The hull is designed to climb quickly onto the plane, to support quick turns, and for high directional stability at fast speed and in rugged sea.

4.5 metre craft

This is the smallest craft in the Tornado range, but it has many similarities to the larger models. The greatest difference is that this is the only model in our range which does not have a tube diameter of  50 cm - its diameter is 43 cm.

Driving consoles

Two primary types of driving consoles are available: Jockey and Patrol, which again have different models.

This console is also available with a front seat/extension to accommodate either a larger tank capacity or another dry locker.

We have two main models: Jockey and sofa. We do not recommend the sofa.

5.0 metre craft

Modelled over the hull of the  4.5 metre, this craft has high sheer bows and a larger tube diameter than her little sister. The craft can therefore support a larger engine and a heavier load. Both the Tornado 4.5 metre and the 5.0 metre have a slightly more shallow hull than the larger Tornado models.

This is one of our best-selling craft. The craft is the smallest in our range, with the deep V hull of the Tornado, excellent seafaring properties and the performance of engines starting at 60 HP.

5.8 metre craft

This is also one of our classic models. It has been on the market for a long time and has recently been extended by 15 cm. With a wider bow, increased width and a larger freeboard, this craft is well suited for offshore adventures. Several options for seating arrangements.
