Worth knowing
Cirrus Ribs Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions
Cirrus RIBs Limited is a British builder of rigid inflatable boats, filed under tenders and toys in the superyacht trade. The company describes its boats as a blend of advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship. The idea is a hull that handles and keeps the sea like a thoroughbred RIB, topped by a deck with the room and comfort of a walkaround sports boat. You recognise them by contemporary styling, generous deck and seating areas and a careful fit-out. The range came in 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 metre lengths, each with inboard or outboard power and several propulsion options.
Our model records hold one Cirrus design, the Cirrus 6.5 m, listed as a motorboat of 6.5 metres with build years from 2002 to 2008. That makes it the smallest of the three sizes named by the builder; the 7.5 and 8.5 metre boats do not appear separately in our data. Filing it as a motorboat rather than an inflatable suits a craft meant as a sports boat with a tube collar more than as a classic dinghy. A used example today is somewhere between nearly twenty and almost twenty-five years old. Whether a given boat runs an inboard or an outboard is in its own papers rather than in our list, and it changes a lot about what to inspect.
On a RIB of this age the tubes come first. Check seams, valves and the bond between tube and hull, and look for porous patches where the fabric has spent years in the sun. The rigid hull underneath should be inspected along the keel line for knocks from beaching or launching. With an inboard, ask for the service records of engine and drive; with an outboard, the hours and a compression test tell you more than a shiny cowling. A boat that served as a yacht tender has usually spent years being lifted on and off by davits or cranes, so the lifting points and their fittings need a close look.
