Yachtwerft Hamburg, a German shipyard specialising in individual boatbuilding projects and fibre composite components, has revealed its new line of Ribcat luxury carbon tenders.

With the catamaran RIB design, Yachtwerft Hamburg says it offers an innovative tender for owners of large motor and sailing yachts, which are lightweight, extremely stable, and emission-free.

Tenders are often a problem when equipping large yachts. On sailing yachts, the size and weight of tenders are often detrimental to performance; motor yacht owners prefer stable tenders that lie well in the water and are compact enough to fit in the yacht’s garage.

“Finding the right tender for a large motor or sailing yacht is a challenge for many owners or their captains,” says Johannes Malzahn, managing director of Yachtwerft Hamburg and its new Ribcat brand. “That’s why we decided to make life a little easier for them and develop our Ribcat tenders.”
