AB Ventus 10 VL 10’6″ Lightweight RIB Yacht Tender
Hoisting onto sailboat stern arches with minimal effort, this AB Ventus 10 VL tactical boat matches a single-deck fiberglass V-hull to 16-inch Hypalon tubes, carrying 4 passengers and 992 lbs with 15 HP at 161 lbs.
- 161-lb light hull simplifies davit lifting
- Hand-laid fiberglass hull slices harbor chop
- 992-lb payload hauls four crew members
- Orca Hypalon fabric prevents sun chalking
At 3.20 m, or 10 ft 6 in, the AB Inflatables Ventus 10 VL uses a light hand-laid fiberglass V-hull and a single fiberglass deck with a non-skid surface. Three buoyancy tubes use ORCA CSM 1100 dtex fabric with cold-cured hand-laminated seams. At 73 kg, or 161 lb, the hull weight should be included in lift, trailer, dock, and storage planning. Its open arrangement includes a removable fiberglass rowing bench and bow locker with storage.
ISO capacity is four persons, and the 450 kg, or 992 lb, maximum payload applies to combined passenger and cargo loading. A 15-inch short-shaft outboard matches the transom configuration, with 10 HP recommended, 15 HP maximum, and a 55 kg, or 121 lb, engine-weight limit. Leafield C7 Push-Push valves serve the three buoyancy chambers, while CE Category C applies to the stated inshore and coastal classification.
